I suspect he took a look, sucked some air and said "This looks like a bigger job than I thought."

I'm a JOC member and have only just noticed that he has posted photos of his big day, shows how much I go on there :oops:.
After the usual Jensen hiccups we finally got married yesterday! What a week! The altenator belt snapped on the Mk1 & Mark's car was fixed late on Friday evening!
Aren't Jensens wonderful!

Marvellous! For those of us who don’t know and can't be arsed with trying to open the relevant wiki - in a new tab on a 5" screen when it's raining in the bar and people are jostling to get a good look at the Belgians - please tell us: Do these have steering by means of a dirty great big box with the potential for sloppy behaviour in its declining years or a nice, tight rack with just the right amount of support courtesy of the miracle of hydraulics?

Thanks for all the kind / cruel words chaps...

Unfortunately it wasnt finished in time for the wedding.

It doesn't help when the trimmer goes AWOL and loses your trim

I did mange to use two local cars for the wedding. A early Mk1 115/2584 & a very nice SP with refurbed and uprated engine

We do love happy endings and I guess it counts as one of those since your nuptials were at least not a Jensen free zone. Congrats!

:idea: You could always become a Mormon, which it would seem is a route into legitimised polygamy :thumbs: , and use your own car at your next wedding! I think a typical Mormon marriage features about five women to each man but it's possible that I dreamt that part. ;)

Thanks for the offer Arcnewal

I'm sure my trimmer will locate them. He's trying to do too much

As mines a G series Mk3 it has footwell vents like the Mk1/2's

I'm also missing A pillar trim , padded section above rear seats

Also the leather trim on the bottom of the dash.

I'm missing ALL chrome door trim leant to him as a 'favour'

You live and learn !
