Hello, unfortunately I am not as talented as some of you others but I try to find the right people to help me and I try to find the info I need on this great forum. I bought Jamjar in 2012 and joined the Club. The best thing I ever did! Please see new members " My dad had one". Any way, I wanted wheels and after a lot of reading I took a chance on trying to fit Jensen Interceptor wheels. I found a set of five on ebay. please dont ask how much things cost as it is pain full to remember.
I had them refurbed and they came out great! I bought the centre badges from ebay.
I had a tyre fitted on one wheel and test fitted them on each corner. They went straight on using Jensen wheel nuts except for the rear driver side arch which needed jacking out. Thankfully I had met Chris York at D&G Classics and he showed me exactly how to do it.
I was not ready to fit the wheels just yet and I put them away in a safe place.
I then found the best people to restore the engine bay would be Clive and Maurice Annable in Derby. I drove the car down and left it with them in November 2014. They did a great job as per their reputation.
Just recently I found a Trimmers in Harlesden called C.E. Moore. Steve the owner is a great guy and we struck a deal to get the interior renovated. I bought the carpet from Coverdale and he fitted it as well as restoring and recolouring the seats. I got the car back but there were a few minor issues which he will sort out when I book it back in. However, it does look great. I fitted the Jensen wheels on and I'm sure you will agree Jamjar looks great. I will be showing Jamjar off at the Luton festival on Sunday 14 June with Tony Bunting from the Case is Altered.
I have to dash now but will check comments later. Hope your inspired!
