Default DE Newb 07 X-Type Wagon

New to Jags, been wrenching since I was a kid. Love the look. Always been in to wagons. Type 3 VW, Volvo 245, Nova wagon, now..This Jag.

Has a few issues so got a decent deal. Needs Cats, hood dinged, paint on roof blistering from no sanding before repaint. And only one channel of the radio works. Work In Progress.
But runs like a champ. 129K Miles Perfect interior.

tinted the windows 35%

as purchased. you can barely see the dinged hood above the left high beam.

Welcome to the forums jrenville,

Good to have you with us. Interior repairs swallow money because Jaguar trim items are expensive - bodywork is much lower cost to fix so you got the best deal.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x-type-x400-14/ to the X-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Thanks for the links. I think I got the signature setup now.

I've pained many cars so that is pretty familiar for me. I mostly paint bikes though.

Only interior problem is the second drivers side floor carpet is worn through. looks more like no one ever spent time in passenger or rear.

I'm pretty stoked on it. Fun project.

Welcome to the Forums.

Well done, and nothing wrong with a work in progress, except interior, as Graham said.

Yeah but it's RED!! My second favorite color after BLACK.
So what if it has a couple dings and blisters.

I grew up with Station Wagons as I come from a large family. I too like the look of this one.
