[Healeys] Hello

[Jean Caron]

I have been helping a friend with the restoration of an early BN1 and yes if one wants to do it properly, finding all the correct parts is difficult and time consuming. As far as the cost is concerned, it all depends how much of it can one do himself and  how much is done by a restoration shop. The bodywork itself is but a small part of a restoration and no matter how good your paintjob looks, the prep work beforehand and the alignment of ALL the panels in relation to each other is really what makes a restoration.

The list has been very quiet for a long time.
How about a discussion about the cost of restoring a BN1?
The metal work is About 90% done. The remaining work includes final fitting all body panels, preparing for paint & final painting.
Wiring, plumbing including rebuilding the brakes, interior, fitting the windscreen, convertible top, side curtains including providing all material where necessary.
Rebuild the engine including all the machining. I have all the necessary components.

Is it me, or is the list quiet?  I haven't seen anything for quite a while?
