More Modifications

Christian has continued making modifications to our 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3. He has modified the top of the door panel to get the panel gap, and he has also modified the cast front side lights to fit the valance nicely.

He then cut out the quarter panel grille holes to fit correctly, marked out where the seat belt mounts go, and welded in the mount bosses.

He has been fitting up and modifying the front bumper brackets, as well as drilling and welding on the mount holes.

 Chris also modified the door to suit the panel gaps. He then modified the quarter panel to suit the panel gaps too.

Interceptor Progress

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 has been in the fabrication bay with technician Chris. He has been welding the front bumper as well as cutting the bumper mount holes.

He then went on to fit up and make the mounts for the rear bumper before fitting up the stone guards and fabricating and welding the mounts.

Perfect Fit – Adjusting the vent patch panels on the 1975 Jensen Interceptor

Our fabricator, Christian, has been working on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor.

Today, he has been working on finessing a patch panel on the left-hand wing of the V8 GT car. This patch panel holds the side vents in place but has need some careful tweaking and a steady hand on the welder to make sure the piece lays just right to work with the flowing and sophisticated lines of this British muscle car.

Work Begins Again On Our Interceptor

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 is back in the Bridge Classic Cars fabrication bay with technicians Chris and Monty.

They have been fabricating new wing patches and started the process of welding them in.

Safety First – Seat Belt Mounts

Classic car technician Chris has been continuing his work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3.

To make sure the car is safe to drive once it has been fully restored, Chris has welded in the seat belt mounts.

In addition to the seat belt mounts, Chris also welded the outer panels onto the driver’s side before also welding the passenger side sill cover and tread plate in place.

Interceptor Progress

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 has continued its stay in the fabrication bay with classic car technician Chris.

Chris has been busy working on various areas of this interesting classic car. He began by replacing the floor and installing the sills too. He then went on to add the last little bits to the wings before test-fitting the doors and sorting out any panel gaps.

The steering column mount was repaired and new front inner wings were made before Chris added captive nuts to the radiator frame. The radiator was test fitted before the frame was welded into position.

Repairing the boot lid was next for Chris before he went on to fit up the rear quarter panel. He added length to the panel and checked the B pillar window frame. The boot lid hinges were stripped and sandblasted too.

The front end was then trimmed and fitted to the bumper.

Interceptor Repairs

Classic car technician Monty has been completing more repair work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3. This time, his attention has been on the floor, the inner sill, and the doors.

Repairing the metalwork of our classic Interceptor has been a long and challenging process but, both Monty and Christian have been doing a great job of keeping things moving in the right direction.

As the restoration of our 1975 Jensen Interceptor continues, we are looking forward to seeing the improvements being made until it is eventually ready to leave us and get back out on the road.

Back To Our Interceptor

Classic car technicians Monty and Chris have restarted their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3.

As you can see from the images below, things are progressing nicely on this classic car and it is slowly starting to take on the recognisable shape of a Jensen Interceptor.

Monty and Chris will continue their work and we look forward to seeing our Interceptor’s progress carry on as it moves through the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

The Metalwork Continues On Our Jensen Interceptor

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3.

The metalwork of any car restoration tends to be the part of the project that takes a lot of time. This makes sense when you think that the bodywork is the foundation of the vehicle. The metalwork needs to be completed to an extremely high standard as the rest of the car will be built on and around this.

As Monty and Christian are fabricating a strong foundation that the rest of this classic car will be built on, their work will continue until they are completely satisfied that it meets their high standards.

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 has definitely made progress as of late and, as more panels are made and as more welding is completed, the car is becoming more and more recognisable to its final form.

1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 Progress

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3.

They have been busy fabricating a range of different panels and parts for this beautiful classic car. Areas of focus have been the inner quarter panels, the inner wing, the rear heat shields, and the rear rail.

As you can see from the photos below, more and more of the car is coming together.

As work continues on our Interceptor, everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars is looking forward to it moving on to the next stage of its restoration journey very soon.

New Rear Panels

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3.

After new front panels were fitted their attention turned to the rear of the car. Monty and Christian removed the rear quarter before fitting new panels in its place. Some of the new panel pieces needed to be made by the two technicians to ensure they fit perfectly onto the car.

To make sure everything was installed correctly, Monty referred to photographs taken of the car during the old panel removal process. He was then able to double-check everything he was doing as the new panels were installed.

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 continues to make progress towards how it will eventually look when it is fully restored. It has already come a long way since it first arrived with us here at Bridge Classic Cars and, as work continues, it will become an even more eye-catching classic car.

New Panels And Looking More Like A Car

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 continues to make good progress and is beginning to look much more like a car now than it has in recent times.

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have been hard at work fitting new panels to this impressive classic car. After removing a fairly large portion of the old panels, they got to work fabricating parts and making sure everything was measuring up exactly as it should.

It wasn’t too long ago that some new body panels arrived for our MK3 Interceptor. Once these were paired with the parts made by Monty and Christian, the new panels were fitted to the car.

With the new panels fitted, our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 is looking much more car-like and you can really start to see how cool it will look when work is complete.

There may still be quite a way to go before it drives out of the workshop and back onto the road, but our Interceptor has already come a long way and our team of classic car technicians will continue their work on it until it is ready to impress everyone who sees it driving in the future.

Parts For Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 has had several parts fabricated recently.

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have been hard at work making sure the parts being made fit perfectly where they are needed, and can also do the job they are meant to do once the car is back up and running and on the road again.

They have also been assembling parts of the car such as the A-pillar.

While Monty and Christian have been fabricating the parts for our Interceptor, classic car technician Al has been applying epoxy primer to them before welding them to the car. He applied the epoxy primer at this stage as he would not have been able to prime them properly once they were welded together.

There is obviously still a long way to go before our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 is ready to leave us and get back on the road. However, things are progressing nicely and it’s looking more and more car-like each day.

Work Continues On Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have been spending quite a bit of time with our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 lately.

From removing the front wings to working on the new body panels that arrived at the workshop, they have been busy making good progress on this special classic car.

As you can see from the photos below, things are progressing well and work continues as our Interceptor moves further along its restoration journey.

Wings Removed

Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have taken the front wings off of our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 to make way for the new ones to be fitted at a later date.

They made sure everything was done accurately and safely so, when the new wings are ready, they will fit perfectly into place.

New Body Panels

To get our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 back on the road, some new body panels were needed. We now have these and they will soon be fitted to the car as it continues to move through its restoration journey.

We found it very exciting to see the new panels sitting on the shell of the Interceptor and we can’t wait for work to continue on this iconic classic car.

Back from Stripping – The 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 Shell Back from ProStripping

The bodyshell of the 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 has arrived back at our restoration workshops after being sent away for ProStripping.

After a series of chemical treatments, the bodyshell has been stripped off all loose corrosion and any fillers or sealants for the team to inspect and assess the pure condition of the classic Jensen GT car.

ProStripping is the best way to safely remove any damaged areas as it does not have the impact or abrasion of media-blasting and allows the liquids to get into every area of the bodyshell to work its magic.

Jensen’s been dipped

Our Jensen Interceptor has returned having been chemically dipped. It was sent to Pro-Strip. The car arrived with us a few weeks ago completely stripped as a stalled restoration. We will now embark of the re-installation of all metalwork to produce a concours car.

Teardown – Preparing the 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 for Dipping and Blasting

The 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshops at our Pettistree HQ for body and paintwork.

The fabricator and restoration teams have been working together in order to strip apart and teardown the shell of the classic Interceptor. The shell and many of its associated parts from the suspension need to be completely dismantled in order to be sent off for either sand-blasting for some of the components and acid-dipping for the shell.

Piece by piece, the big Jensen was taken apart while being catalogued and boxed up ready to be sent off to the various specialists to get this project moving forward.

Coming Soon – 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3

Bridge Classic Cars will soon be welcoming this 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 for an aesthetic restoration by our in-house teams.

Our paint and body teams will assess and report on the condition of the classic GT car which will then put together a plan to get the car sorted out.

Expect to see much more on this Interceptor very soon here on the Bridge Classic Cars newspage.
