Oh my GOD, this reminds me of my fathers Healey!!!! Brought back a flood of memories when I was young. :thx



You did a fantastic job taking your time to restore such a timeless car.



If my father was alive, he'd be giving you the big..:2thumbs::bigups

Thanks Deanski! Sorry to hear about your father. :sadwavey:

very Cool!

Thanks Joe! :hifive:

Damn, Rasky you never fail to impress. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: I had no idea you were so handy with the mechanical aspects of cars, either.



Two questions for you. Was the paint original and if so, was it single stage? Second, did you get her running or no?



Thanks

Lol, Thanks.



Paint was BC/CC and was not original. Very soft and easy to sand and buff. :2thumbs:



Yes I did get it running, but I think the rings are bad on two of the cyliders. It runs fine, but it's smoking like crazy and spitting oil out the exhaust. I can do minor engine work, but I'm not about to tear down a motor. I dropped it off at the mechanic shop on Monday. LMAO, I looked like the Mosquito Patrol going down the road in that thing!

Wow, just wow! Looks like a completely different car!

Thanks Jacob!
