Default New owner '88 XJS

about a month ago i bough a '88 XJS.

She was sitting in a garage on all flat tires, drivers side door handle broken, trunk locked, no keys to the car with a stick holding the hood open.

It had been sitting since 1998. Didn'tknow if it ran but I bought her anyway. 80kmiles

Several days after the tow to my place she breathed again and I let it idle nearly every day.

last weekend I bought new tires and they are on now.

Currently replacing the headliner and the high pressure power steering hose<-- .

other problems are the shifter indicator is broken and the ski slope wood is messed up.

luckily my dad is a locksmith and cut keys for it.

havent driven her yet but I can't wait



Should I take pics??

Welcome aboard. +1 above.

Before attacking cosmetic stuff, I would want to get the thing driven.
