Interesting wheels. It look like they converted a set of GKNs into a set of Rostyles.

That must have cost a few sheckles.

I’m all for originality, but I think it looks great.

The wheels are from American Racing.

I agree with Lawrence, I think it's good balance between original and modified without going to far. I think the bonnet air intake is probably the best designed one I've seen on an Interceptor. Usually if someone has put on a bonnet scoop they are too big, too far forward or conflict with the natural bonnet lines but I think they've done this one just right., it doesn't detract from the lines of the car. The only thing I though odd was the tiny pinprick indicator lights at the front.

Some interesting visuals and not too radical - but take a look at the engineering on the front and rear shocks/spring - I wouldn't want to be driving it much further than in and out of the show!!

Ray what are you not liking on the suspension work? It is done well particularly the rear 4 link conversion. All of the work on this car is neat and well presented IMO.

[RayR]

I agree, it is very neat and well presented.
I had 2 concerns, first IMO the ride would be extremely "firm" with the tyres stretched on the rims and the shocks/springs solid mounted with no rubber/poly bushes. Second, and more concerning, is the rear shock/spring mount using only a cantilevered bolt and an unwelded spacer - just asking for a bending failure. Most of the 4 link systems I have seen have a large clevis for the shock mount so the bolt is in double shear which is much more robust.

[slotcarone]

Sure Ray I see what you mean about the rear lower coil over mount. Good for a shock but not the coil over.

Interesting heater valve in the engine bay, I wonder what it is from and if it works OK?

Also interesting to see the multigroove fan belt system.

Personally visually I think it needs bumpers of some type.

I do like the bonnet scoop.

Looks pretty sharp bonnet. Like scoop AND "pin lights". Overall a very classy build. I wonder if this car is as good as a future Croperdy 250K pound build. I don't think USA market is ready for a near 100KUS S2 Jensen just yet. I think would get near 55K Pounds though,...... but there again it is the dreaded LHD!! Kenny38
