Hi All
Have been lurking for a while & decided to “introduce”... The dude in front of my web page is kinda annoying ;)

I bought a cheap BJ8 LHD from the US about a year ago and have finally stripped it down enough to start the engineering. Lots of rust to repair but thats part of the love factor right ;)

I will send the car to the Healey Factory soon for the RHD conversion, and while thats underway i’ll Give the motor a good going over. It looks good, but i suspect lots of adjustments to make given the rocker shaft was not aligned properly.

cheers

Then the dude (we call him Lucus) is doing his job! Sounds like a worthy project you have there!
