I'm not impressed with green on cars either but jags in green always looked right to me.

What were you thinking, I got good/bad/and ugly pics of mine and posted a lot of them. Actually, I was doing an add up the other day. Approx 6k pics of my girl.
Not a bad effort for 22 months.

Good thing is I do have a picture of almost every spanner twirled on this girl. Just takes a while to find them when a question about an S1 is posted.

Darren, at my house we call that Brain Fade.

I have pictures of Nix in All sorts of conditions and states of assembly, disassembly, dress and undress.

Not being able to get your pictures off your phone is little excuse. You need to learn how to do that so we can see how wondrous your Green car looks.

Oh, sweet mysteries???


1. My ancient flip phone has a camera function. How to down load to my PC? I haven't the foggiest! Perhaps not even possible??? Or it takes more $'s to get a data transmission function activated. If so, it ain't gonna happen.


2. My super ancient RICOH film camera hasn't an inkling as to a down load. Well, develop, print, scan and attach??? I've not usded it n decades, it might not even work.


3. My only ancient Olympus digital has no USB port. I used to use a card reader. that worked just fine. But, alas, not on this machine.


4. I did get, after some travail, the less ancient Canon to down load to this machine.


5. How to attach photos to posts here is still unknown to me.


6. Some how, somewhere on this forum is a picture of my Grosvenor Brown SJ6 wuzza six!!

David Bodger might have one.
Everyday XJ
I think the same emblem was used in all 3 series.

This was in the right side tank after I had already drained it once before.



The line to the filter was completely clogged in there is this mystery stuff at the bottom.

None from the interior but there seems to be a small issue under the driver side. Everything else looks solid.

So...after going through the fuel system I decided to temporarily bypass both tanks and pumps to roll the big cat over. What happens after 15 years of sitting?


I want to be sure both tanks are completely clean before I reconnect them. The left side pump is dead and the right needs a rebuild.

That looks Very familiar! This is what my floor looked like after I took out the carpet:

I was in danger of becoming Wilma Flintstone.
You're doing Excellent work!

I count my blessings. Negligible rust on my car. Only a teeny spot on the left front fender's trailing edge, down low.


Polishig task in progress. Bonnett was faded quite a bit. Meguir's polish and wax brings it way back. Not quite all the way. A dullish patch over where the exhaust manifold was in it's DOHC days. But, world's better....
