Default So... I just bought an 18 year old British Sports car with electrical issues

Hi, I'm dman928 and I have a problem. I really must be a glutton for punishment.

As I mentioned, I just agreed to purchase a 2003 Jaguar XKR with electrical issues, and paint that needs work.

Yup. I bought an almost 2 decade old British car knowing that it has electrical issues. On the plus side it does have a 4.2L supercharged motor.

I am nothing if not a glutton for punishment. I wanted a project, and now I have one.

Pray for me.

Good price though. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
