New XK8 owner / backyard project with many questions
Hi there all ...Hoping to get alot of feedback reguarding my (new to me) 1997 XK8. I bought it at auction with a few problems. I'm hoping to have enough time to repair and get it running now that my kids are away at college. I've read many posts on different forums implying that these beauties were very temperamental so thought the best way to become familiar is to just "dig in" . First question....should I have bought one in working order? LOL I'll be searching the threads to find answers to my questions....hope I get some help....I think I will need it. Thanks guys!
