Jensen Bumper Repair


We were asked by Practical Classics to restore a set of Jensen bumpers featuring in their magazine and was going to take centre stage at the NEC.

The bumpers in question were painted silver to hide dents and splits filled with body filler. This type of repair is very difficult because the material is thin.
