 Installing the radiator in the XJ6.


This the old one that I just removed.
Hard to believe that they want over 700 dollars for a new one.

Thinking about historical vehicle registration. Part One.


Why not, my XJS isn't pulled by any horse!

"I can't sell that car to you, I'm gonna fix that up- Someday!"

I've been pouring over the Net looking at all kinds of old cars. Looking for something that could grab my interest. I even find that I'm trying to convince myself that I want certain cars.

Thinking about a new paint job. Epilogue


Right behind behind the driver's door is the worst area of the current original paint.

After exploring the different options, and investigating the procedures, have I drawn any conclusions?

One of the first questions that the service writer asks you is. "How long are you planning on keeping your car?"
