Hey everyone.
First time Jag owner here. I purchased a White and tan 1997 XK8 convertible about two months ago and only recently found this forum. Thanks to Brutal who posted a fix on how to fix the short in my tail lights, BTW.... the short is how I found you.
The car was a Craigslist purchase and was a bit of a gamble but it seems to have been a good purchase so far. Tail light electrical issues, some worn tires/alignment, and a little bit of damage to the front bumper but it runs very well.
I am scouring the posts looking for tips on how best to proceed restoring the car and will probably have some questions to post soon.

Hello, Dave,
When you consider your car is 17 years old there's not so much wrong with it.
You've already discovered how much help you'll find in here, that's why the forums exist.
