That's quite a project to take on!
The "Ford" Interceptor is quite something too

Blimey Paul. You like a challenge.
These days, opening a can of beans is enough of a challenge for me.
Good luck with your resto project.

Hi Paul, That is quite a project. Looks like it's coming on quite well now though. Great work.
What's the Daimler in the background of one of your pictures?

Re: My Interceptors
How much Interceptor is left in the hot rod, apart from the drive train? Any interior? Does it drive anything like a Jensen?
"Now that chassis number is particularly interesting ‘cos it’s the one after the one before, which is the one after mine, not many people know that"

Re: My Interceptors
Hi Paul
Quite a project to undertake on your car
I would be pleased if you could message me with the Chassis No for your car and if you have any details on previous owners
A small amount of information on your car
Last logbook issued 05.07.2018 - that may now have been updated
Identified as Green - but this may have been the original colour ?
Advised as Taxed until 31.05.2020 ???
I believe that the car was registered in August 1975
124 DTV was in JOC Magazine 106 from 11.1992 - i can look at details if of interest
I believe that your Rat Rod was Chassis No 136/9154 - November 1973
Kind regards
Jim Smith
Mem No 1639
136/8791 RJF 17 owned since September 1978

Re: My Interceptors
Looks like the entire chassis was used from the pictures.

Re: My Interceptors
Pretty cool, although I know nothing about hot rods. I'd make a hole in the door so that you can open it while the engine is running

Thanks Chris
Not sure about the daimler I took that picture at the car dealers when I went to see it, he had a nice collection for sale.

Re: My Interceptors
The main chassis tubes have been used, it’s got coil springs on the rear & it’s still got the power steering
There’s not much interceptor inside just the gauges, steering column and wheel.
It does drive well but i would say it has lost most of jensons refinement and it’s certainly louder now.
