Default New Member - WA - XK8

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.

Welcome to the forum BlueXK8,

As you've been searching the forum you probably already found the tech section but if not, follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
