Hello all! I have been searching the forums for a few months now but recently had issues with the XK8 and thought I join in. Seems like a great community here and hope to be part of it.

Regarding the car, it is a 1999 Jaguar XK8 with 97k miles. Got it salvage, minor damage and as a hobby fixer up. I know Jaguars are expensive and I always look for the best bang for the buck so the car is in running condition (except recently). My dad is the owner but will buy it for my own.

Things to do:
Transmission problems just arose.
Need to fix some cosmetic issues and get it painted
P. Mirror, problem with the left tire area (suspension/shocks?) and lastly wheels!

Below is the old and current image. It still has a ways to go but can drive.
