Groosh's Garage

The smallest touches can make the difference. Like having my car parked outside waiting for me as I drove up with truck and trailer. The stance was right. All my work restoring the entire front end suspension paid off. And the fact that it had nothing to do with it. It's the wheels. A larger than stock BBS mesh wheel with 225/60 r15s gave it a slightly aggressive profile....

I just don't see the car being worth it, at this point, to strip the panel, paint and redo the original pin striping. There are so many other things I need to focus on to get this back on the road.

It started on the trailer but has since moved to my driveway on jack stands per usual. One day I'll buy a four post lift for the garage so access is easier and I can store an extra car during the winter. But until then, I get a nice workout going up and down on the creeper. The shift cable ball joint that attaches to the transmission linkage is, well, designed like crap....

Can you tell what car this lady bug is admiring? A 1987 Jaguar XJ-S. If you've headed over to posts at Superfly Garage, you may have already seen my teaser about the car, so I'll spare you the repeat except for the quote that got us here: “I firmly believe that everyone who is worth anything at all should own a 12-cylinder car before they die,” the late and outspoken David E....
