New XK8 ('98) Owner :)
Hey guys!
I'm very excited to welcome a new member to my family - a 1998 blue on ivory XK8 convertible. It has 65k miles and is the perfect 'project' car I've been looking for. I have another daily driver so this will purely be a weekend fun car.
I'm already looking into leather seat restoration (driver's seat is showing some wear), paint-free dent removal, and minor part replacement. Luckily the previous owner took great care of it so all of the 'projects' i have in mind are cosmetic.
The mechanic I had check it out (Ian at Mitchell's British Motorcars in LA) said it does need to engine mounts and a brake system flush. Nothing too scary.
Looking forward to reading all the great posts here!
