Our 1960 Jensen 541S chassis has arrived back at our workshops from the blasters.
With the body completely removed and all of the areas exposed, we thought it was best to blast the chassis to remove years of debris, grit and rust that had been collected. Only then could we truly see the challenges that we would be faced with.
When the blasting process has taken place, more often than not it reveals new areas of the car that need attention, areas that may not have been noticed before. The great news on this one is that it is no worse than we expected.
We knew there would be a lot of work needed on the chassis but we half expected to find a lot more…on this occasion we are lucky.
Don’t get me wrong, there is still a long way to go but Asa has already got his teeth stuck into the repair work!

…as have the new rear lights. It’s amazing what a huge difference small changes can make to the look of the car.
The front bumper bars made the car look tired but now with the brand new bars fitted it has completely transformed the look.
Although our model is the 500L it came into our workshops with a metal 500 badge fitted which we found a little strange.
As we weren’t 100% whether the badge should be 500 or 500L we got onto the guys at Ricambio who advised us that it should be a metal 500L badge so that’s what we’ve done.
Working on our Jaguar E-Type bonnet
January 10, 2017
We closed off 2016 with various projects still underway and a busy diary looking into January and February.
Work on our 1965 Jaguar E-Type was unfortunately a little delayed at the back end of last year but now we are back, we have been busy knuckling down on the tasks at hand. Bobbie has been dedicating his days, since returning, to preparing the body of the Jaguar to get it ready for paint.
Here we have the latest images of the bonnet being worked on.
As with a lot of classic car projects we often remove components which then reveal more, hidden defects that are not always visible from the initial inspection. Unfortunately our 1965 Jaguar E-Type is an example of just that.
Bobbie has found many more holes around the car that were not intially obvious but nothing that is too concerning and will not set us back too long.
