Default New XK8 FL

I found a 2000 XK8 that will be a bit of a project. She's going to need some love. Spending time here researching and searching before asking.....

This is a true statement. I know it needs (from front to back) front bumper repair from a fallen tree that cracked paint near the emblem, dash refinish to some degree, console lid, nav screen, one of the ram hydraulic lines is leaking at the pump to make the top inoperable. On the plus side, timing chain tensioners done and the AC works.

And - it's official! Offer accepted, going to pick it up on Saturday. I have a jump pack, bottle of Techron, bottle of Rain-X (right side wiper inop) and AAA card. Oh, and a bluetooth speaker since the radio doesn't work. 200 mile adventure ready to start!
