Hi guys, I have alittle experience with the fibre glass replacements since they have been on my BJ7 since the early '70s. Of course the value is in the eye of the beholder, and i never intend to put my car up for concours pedigree, but no one, and I mean no one has ever known that some of my Healey has fibre glass body panels unless I've told them. of course a concours judge only in reaching up under the radius of the fender opens would then notice that there is no lip on the inside of these wheel opennings. These panels were a period aftermarket replacement pieces that were desireable for weight savings and long term durability, as they of course will never rust, and there will never be analytical corosion forming between steel and aluminium at the fender to shroud seems. They were rather popular with the ralley set because of reduced weight. You could get fenders, sills, and boot lid. In over 30 years mine have never cracked, and still look good. I consider these pieces to be period correct just like the polished aluminum valve cover, the aftermarket extra capacity radiator, and the special grind road race cam. You could say that the car is particularly rare because it was set up to Rally in the early years and did rally in Europe. So it has all the trim and fittings to show for it. So many people still look at my car and say, 'boy it looks great'. They don't realize that in truth it needs retored for the stuff you can't see underneath. But that'll get done one of these days. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
