>> Hi Listers,
>>
>> Some of you may remember that I authored Parts 1 and 2 of my slow (over 
>> 10
>> years now) resto of BJ8 32038 and which was published in Austin Healey
>> Magazine in issues 4-5/2005 and 7/2005 respectively.  Back in those good 
>> old
>> days, most articles were in B/W - not the full color we enjoy today.
>>
>> Well, I still own the car and things have been moving along - slowly of
>> course.  But 32038 is now back on the road at last in a brand new 
>> livery - and
>> looks just great - I think.  When new, she was Healey blue/blue.  When I
>> bought her in 1989, she was blotchy spray-can green/tan - really bad and
>> sliding downhill.  Now she is fresh, yellow/dark red, and ready for a new 
>> life
>> here on the  N. Calififornia roads.
>>
>> The new January issue of Austin Healey Magazine has 32038 on the cover, 
>> and
>> the final / Part 3 of the resto article on page 8 for those of you that 
>> have
>> been patiently following the saga.  I hope you enjoyed the journey - I 
>> did.
>>
>> My thanks to Reid Trummel who published the first 2 parts as prior 
>> Editor, and
>> to Gary Anderson who kindly published the third part as current Editor.
