Nice, I suppose I could throw in some more pics, just to shake off that "LED lights in the dash" funk.
Do also note my first alignment attempt, so more suspension work is to come.

 

 

I also have an early one; first regersted in UK January 1976 vin/ chassis no;
2W1184 BW. It arrived in NZ on 24/07/1986; to date has only done 73.000 miles it is red with black interior and looks and goes very well. In the next couple of months am fitting 5 speed Getrag manual box.

 

I'd love to see some pics of '76 engine pay and interior. Do post some pics here, even if it feels like you are talking to yourself at times.

 

I have an early facelift car, if that counts for anything. They started at VIN 179737 I think, and mine is 180034 (the 298th), built in June 1991.

 

Getting there, she already drives straight!

 

And we had one day of spring here (tomorrow is gonna snow)...

 

Taking quick brake from XJS and enjoying the simplicity and fit of this Lego set.

 

Don't mean to bore you here, since no one seems to notice my clunker, but will post some fresh pics.
I am currently working on valve adjustment and installing original carpeting.

 

Look good Michael are you going to replace the carpet on the door or paint where the speakers are?

 

I don't know how anyone could not notice that stunning paint job. The new wheels look great too.

I painted the cam covers gold on my first V12, and had a lot of people question why I did it. Those people were obviously unfamiliar with the history of Jaguar engines, as many have had beautiful gold cam covers through the decades. Besides, it looks classy. lol.

 

Gold is good, says Raffi Jafarian, Apple VP of gold

 

good point, I just noticed that discolored pink is not good, will dye it black, to match the carpet.

Thanks!
