Now I'm no automotive expert, but I'm fairly sure that big wire-covered enginey thing in the top photo with those big round wheely things is supposed to be inside that large silver-grey thing in the bottom pic....

 

Indeed you are right. The big black part belongs in the big silver thing.

All started with a 'simple' tranny repair. Resultat in an engine out job.

Oh, and I'm writing this in a 3h jam. My daily commute takes 25 mins in the morning and 35 mins in the afternoon. Today it has taken 3 h for a 21 km drive.

 

Ouch. For both points - repairs and traffic.

 

Washed, then pressure washed and hand waxed the car...took all day in between drinking.

 

It was today on the "Moscow Classic Grand Prix"

 

Now that's what I call a 'Great Photo!' very inspired.

 

Club get together at members home on Harstine Island, WA

 

Beautiful winters day so we decided to take the girl into town.

 

Picking my son up at his friend's house.

 

From on of my 'XJs' (haha) today or better yesterday!

 

just plated a few parts with my zinc plating kit

 

 

That's one way of using the propensity of the V12 to catch fire!

 

I was thinking they should have just put a tray over an actual V12 XJS engine and used the massive amounts of heat it generates to cook with....
Also, I wonder how hard it would be to rehinge your bonnet so it opened like that...?

 

stainless rad caps arrived this week, although cant see the sparkle now the new labels attached,

 

Lets see if I can attach a photo, best to you all. JW

 

Tell us more!

I'm thinking of asking my Jag shop to send everything off to be chromed when they redo all the gaskets and tear down the engine, is zinc coating better? cheaper?

 

Not quite from today, but still very recent:



(after giving my kitty bath and fresh air)

 

Now that is a nice polish. And a nice pic. Love the yellow sun on the red paint, contrasting with the blue-grey roads. Great dynamic composition, too.

 

Put mine up for sale so I can buy another xjs to turn into a track car.
