Hello from Vancouver, Canada. I have been lurking on the forum for a while, and finally getting around to a proper introduction. Thanks to everyone for everything I have learned on this forum all ready, and I'm looking forward to contributing if I can be of help others.
For those that are interested, here is my back story :
I have always had a soft spot for British cars since my father had an MGB when I was young. It made quite an impression and I bought my first MGB in my early 20s. Being broke and it being my daily driver meant it wasn't long before I needed so say goodbye to the car and find a car that would actually get me to work. Fast forward to my early 30s with a bit more disposible income, (but no more common sense), I bought a 1968 MGB GT. Once again a daily driver but this time an excellent car, in large part due to the investment I made in maintIng it in top condition. However, within a couple of years I was married, and the two children which followed shortly meant saying goodbye again in favour of a mini van and a mortgage. Fast forward again to my early 50s, both kids heading off to college and finding myself in a fortunate position with respect to time, resources and choices. Which brings me to the Austin Healey which I purchased at an auction on a bit of a whim. I bought the car in January and after a couple of months of ownership, I am in love with the car! Wanting to do a few things to it lead me realize that under the shiny exterior lurked some rust and dodgy past repairs so I have decided to tackle a full restoration on it.
Cheers, Rob
