Latest update and photos, Red XJS convertible still working sweet, We motored 1000 km this weekend, again to NS to see relatives, and take in a Convertibles-Only Car Show & Shine in Yarmouth NS. The car sounds very 12cylinder-ish now with the cats punched out and the mid-mufflers gone. -I'm sure the SS exhaust tips are purely cosmetic, but when toe'd down, she has a real nice growl which gets progressively higher pitched untiol I back off.
I'll attach a couple more shots taken last week.

Looking good Greg. I have never liked red cars but I have grown to love the signal red XJS. Just not as I was painting mine.
That V12 shriek is just awesome, my brother turned up last week in his 67 Shelby GT500 (fabulous sounding) as I was giving mine an Italian tune up and he was awe struck by the sound of the V12

Our end
Right! Never say "no hurry" or "take your time" to any paint or repair shop. Agree on a schedule and stay on top of the situation. This doesn't have to be adversarial or unreasonable. It's just good business.
Not to be needlessly melodramatic , as we're only talking about a basic re-paint job here, but there are some horror stories out there. I personally know of some cars that have disappeared for *years* at restoration shops.
