Nice score. Wish I could find a deal like that, lol. The area around here is pretty much covered by junk car buyers, theres a self-service yard that advertises heavily and pays close to what the independant buyers pay, or a little more. Last good deal I got on a vehicle was a 91 S-10 Blazer...needed a water pump and a shorted wire fixed...payed $200, stuck about $30 into it, and sold it for $550...and it still needed work when I sold it. I'm trying to get a beater truck, but it's winter so everyone is hoarding their 4x4s, and all the 2WDS are junk or overpriced, and people won't come down low enough.

The Jags are notorious for bad wiring! Great car but they always have wiring troubles.
That is most likely the problem with the fuel gauge.
If you are good at wiring then this is the car for you!
Nice score though. It most likely has other issues that are not reveling themselves yet to you. Like suggested when it warms up the electrical shorts will make there debut.

Ever watch the show wheeler dealers? Its an english show were they buy cars on the cheap fix them up and flip them. Love watching that show. This season they came to the US to buy cars to take back to the UK. Funny to watch a couple brits fix up old american cars.

My mom used to have an Audi (German) and the electrical system had a mind of it's own.

Each of the Big Three domestics have plants in Canada, as do Honda and Toyota. Previously we also assembled Ladas (russian POS that were made using old Fiat stamping molds), as well the Bricklin, which was something like an early DeLorean. Going back further than that, sorry I have no idea.
You Didn't Build That
I was told a while ago that Jaguar does not use a chassis ground. The way it was explained to me, was it had positive wires and negative wires running through the whole car. If someone knows better, feel free to correct me. Then I'd know too.
You Didn't Build That
But most American cars use the chassis as a ground. Right? Everything I've worked on has used a chassis ground.

I've heard of positive ground. Doesn't sound like too good of an idea, but I am not familiar with how it works. I'd figure any where on the chassis would be hot. It would probably corrode like crazy.
