Default New driver of an old jag

I am a freshly graduated high school student soon to be attending college and I have been driving a 94 ford tempo until it recently "blew up" on me, and isn't worth fixing. One day not too long after my car incident the Jaguar in our just started calling my name. The jaguar had been sitting for close to 4 years because it had fallen into disrepair and no one, until now, had bothered to fix it.

I charged the battery and tinkered with the car for a while and finally got it to turn over and chug a little. The first thing i did was move it out of the carport and wash all of the dust and pollen off it. Man, there was a good looking car sitting under all of that junk.

I am currently in the process of fixing it up and i figured these forums would be the best place for advice.

The car is a 1985 XJS HE with a v12 engine.

Wow! How fortunate to have such a great car just waiting for you. I've enjoyed owning an XJ12 with a similar motor and it was sweet and smooth. Good luck with your project.
