Looking great, I ended up buying a Jensen Interceptor MK3 project car. I picked it up in Florida and had it trucked down. Within two days it arrived but unfortunately, as the driver was letting it down, he let it slip and roll off the trailer. The damage is not too bad, but i'll need a right side wing and front bumper.

It's on the back burner right now, I have some bigger projects to tackle.

I'd be effin livid! Do they not have insurance for any damage they cause while in transit?

They made it right. But as i'm currently working on a couple of other things, it has to wait until my 71 280SL is done.

Not cheap but it will look lovely. Definitely a "dream car" for me.
