If you are planning to keep the car long term, I would start with the underside , check rear sub frame and mounting brackets. when you remove the seats lift carpets to check floor pans. what is you budget for the planned work?
Instant power = new exhaust, keep centre silencer but get upgraded over axle section. From factory they’re squeezed and lose power. Please think about a sensible wing. What you said sounded hideous.
Seems people have started noticing this car 💥

Leo, good luck with your project. Big support network for the XK8, as you are starting to find out, regards Damian
Unfortunately the rot will come back after a few Months. The only cure is to cut it out and replace with metal
Maybe worth looking into down the line, i would love to make this a wide body
Manual swap isn’t that straightforward because of the electronics. it’ll go in limp mode if not proper. And any issue - check the battery
