Subject: [Healeys] Grill restoration VS Repro
=20
Hi All,
=20
After 12 years and counting on my 64 BJ8 restoration, she goes to paint =
this summer.=20
=20
I pulled the grill out of storage to see what it will take to restore to =
like new. Although the vertical teeth are in pretty good shape in regard =
to dents and damage, there is much corrosion especially on the sides of =
the teeth. After trying several levels of polishing attempts, =
I=E2=80=9Dm not sure I=E2=80=9Dm going to be able to restore to =
acceptable quality. I thought about fully dismantling it so I can polish =
each tooth, but this could take another 12 years!!
=20
Moss sells a reproduction grill for $500.Does anyone have any comments =
on the quality of the reproduction part? Does anyone have any advice as =
to repro vs restoration for the grill?=20
=20
Thanks in an advance for any help that anyone can provide.
