Jensen-Healey Restoration – It’s All in the Prep

The car is in its temporary housing and the paint is curing nicely. Have been busy cataloging the interior parts I have managed to acquire and now prioritizing how to best get everything installed.

Decided to start with the electrical and make sure everything is cleaned up and working. Want to avoid having to tear up carpet/panels to double check wiring issues.

Coupled with this phase – getting the interior tub ready for sound deadening (liquid and mat) and most importantly – seat rails! Snagged some Miata seats from a junkyard so have to see how the seat rails will mount up and weld those in.

Next up is finishing the interior tear down, getting the seat rails in there and then sound deadening. Am going to try out Fatmat and see how it works. They have a liquid version as well as a mat (similar to Dynamat Xtreme). Figure two layers will help control heat and noise in this beast.
