A
quick overview of Carl Jensen's 1972 2002 restoration....
Carl spent
a couple years getting his 2002 to the state its in now, and I've
put together some pictures showing some of the work. I've driven
this car a handful of times and its a blast to drive, and needless
to say, it turns a lot of heads!
