Hello Healey listers,
Just short of 3 years after buying a disassembled 64 BJ8 Phase I, and 2
years and 3 months after starting work on the car at BMC Restorations with
Peter Brauen in Kiln, Mississippi, I drove her home yesterday 120 miles to
Baton Rouge. What a thrill! Peter only worked on the car while I was there,
so of course the schedule was limited by my availability. What a delight,
driving a car that I've wanted since high school in the early 70's. She's
mine, and she's home. A dream come true.

Not quite finished yet though. As you can see from the pictures, I still
need to install the grill and attach the front bumper. A bigger task is
putting together the convertible top frame and getting the top on. I'm
going to attempt to do those myself at home over the next several weeks.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some detailed
instructions for reassembling the frame and installing the convertible top
on it. I have Norman Nock's Tech Talk book but I don't see any reference to
this particular task.
Thanks to all who have answered questions and helped me find parts. It's
been fantastic having you all in the Healey brotherhood as a resource. Now,
maybe I can start to become one myself.
Cheers,
Rick
64 BJ8 Phase I
