Oh Wise Ones, I'm starting on the restoration of my very early BN1 (#174). This is a very original and sound, apparently low mileage but badly weathered car. During the dis-assembly process I took about 500 photos of details to aid in the reassembly. I was showing these to a very patient and Rich Chrysler yesterday and he commented that the wheel wells appeared to all have been originally painted white which seemed odd. Upon closer examination it appears that this may have been original because the white paint was only on body components which would have been installed at Jensens and not on mechanical components which would have been installed later at Longbridge. This is a Healey Blue car and I'm wondering if this may actually have been done in the factory. It is a pretty rudimentary "quick shot" with no evidence of masking but no white on things like the steering column, nuts holding the turn signal relay, the original front shocks, the real bump boxes or springs, etc etc. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this on a very early Healey Blue BN1? -- Michael Salter Check My Blog http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/ _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/mharc@autox.team.net |
