Cool New member in Charleston SC. 1973 XJ12 w/350

Hello everyone. I am new to South Carolina and new to the forum. I have had my 1973 XJ12 since Christmas 2004, a gift from my wife. She has since regretted it. It has a very clean body but has a lot of upkeep that I have not been able to maintain due to many military deployments. I am now in a position where I am stable with no looming deployments. This month, with the help of my two teenage sons and the internet I have started to give the car some much neglected love. We have started with the front breaks. Not too bad so far, not looking forward to the rear breaks though. After the front brakes I need to rebuild the quadrajet and fix some wiring issues. I'm looking forward to potentially meeting other enthusiasts in the area.

Welcome to teh Forums.

The rears are simple, take the cradle out, do it all, do it correctly, repeat in 20 years. Pads only, are easy in situ after that.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums D Holdaway,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.

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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
