    Thanks man!

    So here's a couple of things I did to the exterior, just to sort of change it up a bit









    I've painted the bumpers and mirrors with 3 coats of charcoal rim paint and 2 coats of clear, which I like very much, however one section of the rear bumper fucked up and I have to re-do it soon.

    I also did my outer headlight X's with electrical tape, and smoked a set of '94 tail lights, with the chrome trim around them. I was able to pick them up with stress marks in the lenses for $5 at u-pull-it, which was right on track with my budget for this car

    I'll try, I'm always trying to change something on it.



    This week I'll be working with bondo to repair the pretty bad rust on all the bottoms of the fenders, these cars have pockets on the inside of the bottoms of the fenders that trap leaves and moisture, and tend to rust out. I'm pretty good with bondo, so it should go nicely. Also I need to cut the lip out from the inner fenders so I can dial in the fitment with spacers. It may not look like it. But I actually have credit card fitment thanks to the lip on the fenders. The fronts have been slightly rolled due to rubbing on full lock occasionally.

    Once I stop being a lazy dick and switch over to tapatalk, I'll share what I've done to the exterior of the car already.

    Not even, I'm a firm believer in the .65mm not making a difference. I always check my lugs, but they're always snug as a bug in a rug or some shit every time.

    The reliability on this particular one has been stellar, I've hardly had to do anything reliability related. Also, it's 5x120.65, the holy grail of bolt patterns IMO.

    My grandfather has a similar Jag sitting in his garage, original owner, only like 54,000 miles on it, I THINK it still has period correct tires on it (probably only the second set of tires ever on the car) and it's dark blue with a tan interior. I would love to own it one day if they decided to get rid of it.

    Keep up the hard work!
    They're awesome cars, nothing like it for the money. I still have the right tires on the stock wheels, but a 205 series tires sucks pretty hard on a powerful car, but they ride so right. Mine has around 180k miles and it still ticks right along.

    I'm always sort of taking photos, just waiting to be able to grab my camera.
