Trimmed up my front end caps to clear tires a little better. Bigger trim job hopefully this weekend. The important thing is that I can parallel park again

I have a 2000 xj 4.0. I'm switching out my injectors for 784's. While disconnecting the e-connectors to the injectors the red clips that hold the injectors on disintegrated. How important are these? Where can I find 6 more???

Not important at all if you don't mind dying a flesh smoldering death

Fitted a new Battery.
Took the old one out and saw it had "Value Power" written down the side and was only 42AH - I think explains a lot...New batt is 57AH.
I thought I was going to have to take the new one back because the terminals were the other way round but once I looked at it, the new battery fits better and the cables are much less stressed - so the OLD one was wrong. Bodgers are everywhere

Tried to replicate the tail lights that are on the Waggy XJs since I can't find any of them in the junk yard. It cost me $6 to do. I bought a small can of testors translucent red model paint and some clear coat from michaels, and some $2 chrome pin striping from Oreillys. Turned out pretty good I think.

Removed the side moldings on my '98 sport. Now I just need to get all the adhesive off but don't know what to use.
