Interior
Major modification is the 15" steering wheel rather than the original 16" wheel. For those in the know, the horn is on the turn signal stalk. To honk you use the flat palm method or you spend time fixing the turn signals! Front seats and head-rests were renewed with a Bartlett special. Rear seat is still original. The center console,dash top,headliner,and sun visors were also R&R'ed. Rubber seals around the windows and doors were accomplished with chop sticks and a great deal of patience. New rear window rubber seal and bumper seals were also done. Modern halogen headlights were added for night driving which is a safety must here in California.

Interior
Since this picture was taken we now have a new windshield due to a stone hit bulls-eye centered on the drivers side. A new modern rear-view mirror was added for safety. The car still has only the left side-view original exterior mirror. Clock is a Mercedes Benz quartz which was a perfect fit. The old battery operated clock was unrepairable.

Exterior
The original wire wheel. Tough to get perfectly clean without a wire-wheel brush, tooth-brush, and softcloth to run between the wire spokes. Reminder: always grease the spline with some form of copperseal grease for easy removal the next time around. The tire is a new Pirelli P4000 Super Touring 205/70 VR15 [1998]. A major improvement from the old Michelin Redlines. Tubes are also new Michelin racing tubes. NB: have your tire guy remove all tabs and tags from the inner portion of the tire as the movement between tire and tube will cause slow leaks. Experience!

This is the end.

Note the rear window chrome strips held in by three rather than two lock clips. UNUSUAL, because the glass guy broke the the chrome strip and we had to cut it to install it. Such is Jaguar life.
