Default Finally got my 8 back from a deer incident this summer

I've been pretty much xkless since the end of June when I had a little deer incident. Insurance totalled the car, bought it back and a complete parts car, my body guy finished up and took it for its enhanced inspection at the end of Sept. Got it back and found that both motor mounts were bad (don't ask me how the enhanced pa inspection shop missed that but insisted I had a bad wheel bearing even though it had just been replaced a year earlier and didn't have any play or noise coming from it). So I ordered the mounts and my body guy just finished up yesterday. Boy have I missed driving it! Now if I can only figure out the stinking abs light that likes to come on and then triggers the stability control fail fault. Codes say the famous 1095 and a wheel sensor issue on the front left sensor. So I'll swap sensors first though I should probably send out the computer at some point as my soldering skills only fix it for a couple months before the light returns.

That has taken some time! Definitely deserves 'before' and 'after' pics.

Didn't take any before pics as she was a little sensitive to her appearance. Right now she's a bit dirty. Needs to warm up a bit to get a good cleaning. I'm just amazed how much I missed driving it. The XJR is a completely different animal.
