Haha!

Here's a thread on my Jensen, I bought it last year and have gotten it running. Drove it around the block too... it's been sitting since 1991, when the engine, transmission and radiator were redone. The owner never touched the car for 17 years....

The way I got it.....

So far I've swapped out the stereo and switches on the interior and got some various stuff fixed.... changed the steering wheel too. The horn button here was INSIDE the factory steering wheel, perfect fit on the new wheel!

The engine was rebuilt already with new pistons etc... so I thought I would try storing the stock intake and running something a little weird under the hood, two Edelbrock 500s.
The intake is almost finished... just needs the polishing done...

I figure I'm gonna try to see if the speedometer can be wrapped...... so I went through the front end. I'm lowering the front about 1 1/2" to 2", new everything, ball joints, bushings, brakes, braided lines, any upgrade I can...

It's in the middle of transformation right now....

MORE! These may not be the most stylish European cars ever made, but I always thought they were cool!

Don't know if they are still avalible, but check out Mom's from the early 80's with the ft spoiler. It really made the car look different, I thought it blended the ft into the sides of the car. Wish I had another pic, but this is really a pic of my Demon the day after I bought it.

I like the efforts, except for one thing; it's pushing back the 40!
Of course, I got sidetracked too, so maybe this will give me a chance to get mine done (1st build) before you get yours going!

Cool pic! My Demon was blue with white stripes too!!!!!! haha

Was your Mom's Jensen an S4? I'm pretty sure they had factory spoilers.

No!!!!!!! It's giving me tons of MOTOVATION!
I was sooo burned out with home renos I was fried. Now I'm getting back into it, the Jensen will be done in a month or two I'm hoping, in time for good weather so I can move my pig out and start wrenching!

Sometimes my motovation needs a jumpstart!

Glad to hear it!
I was in the same boat, which is why I got the 47. The money spent still would not have made the 40 road worthy, so I decided that I wanted something that would run.

I gotta question the home renovations though. Burned out and still only a one car garage?

I'm not sure my garage is BIG ENOUGH to qualify as a one car garage!
