The cat is out !
The cat is out !
Started the first turn after almost 5 months of winter hibernation. Runs perfectly 
Over the winter I installed new Welsh poly upper shock mounts and new lower shock bushings; new hand brake shoes ( $16 from Rock Auto !! ) and new rear pads. While doing this I noticed the LHS handbrake cable was fraying a bit so I replaced it. Absolutely ZERO coolant loss since I replaced the octopus and header tank last yer so I decided not to do the valley hoses for now. I do LOVE this car

Another prowling cat
98 X100
Just letting her cool down to avoid heat soak. Kitty is purring
Glad to hear that your X100 is out of hibernation, and all is well.
First good run today after a winter of fixing. Both tensioners, transgo mod. Filter changes, fluids. Front wheel bearings, upper shock mounts front and back. Cooling hoses, including octopus, valley. Brake discs, pads. Rear shockers. Sway bar links.
But flawless. Better handling than my previous 94 XJS. Great power, stopping, excellent handling.
My expectations have been exceeded. Thanks Gus, Reverend Sam and countless others.
Time to get some miles in, heads turns, and your grin back.

I am brand loyal to Zymol but that certainly is impressive. Swirl marks are usually caused by not clay barring a finish before waxing. Then you're just rubbing the surface contaminants into the clearcoat.

@Jon89 If you have the hand brake shoes off the car the cable is not hard to replace. Mine was getting corroded/ frayed at the hub where the cable enters. A previous repair ( not mine ) had not properly replaced the plastic clip which holds the cable to the back of the hub and moisture had got in. The worst bit is getting the brake shoes on an off. the rest is easy.
