My 2007 Jaguar XK: Last update

 New wheel and tire set, some brake work, and then....... totaled.

In early June, I was getting the car ready to come out for the season by painting my new wheel and tire set, I got last summer. Also with newly painted calipers, and new pads and rotors in back.



Painted these 18" OE Venus wheels a gloss black with Rustoleum rattle cans.
Turned out good.



Front calipers before,



and after painting.



Old rear pads and rotors.



New rear pads, rotors, and painted calipers.



Finished look.




One week later, on our way to the beach, in Texas, run off the road by a semi in Missouri.



No one was hurt. We were still drivable, and no rental cars to be had, so we rolled all ghetto on vacation.



The verdict was...... totaled.
Farewell my darling. It's been a sweet 6 years.
The End
