I have owned my 54 BN1 since the early 80's when as a young lad in my 20's. I had decided I was going to build a kit car. Very specifically a Porsche 550 spyder (The James Dean car) based on a VW chassis. I had begun in earnest the search for a suitable Beetle 1600 donor car. My Dad and I visited a small auto museum in Cornwall where there was a 3000 of some kind on display. I fell in love and immediately started my Healey search. Not having a great deal to spend, I ended up with a fairly rough 100. I drove it for a long time, but eventually a move to the US placed the car in storage and their it sat.
The car is now in Illinois , where it has continued to sit for the last decade, today will be the first day in many where the cover gets pulled off and I start to take stock of where things stand and where things need to go? I am going to take a lot of photos of today's activities, because in many ways this is like a barn find! It really will be the beginning. A plan will start to formulate and no doubt I will draw upon your expertise as I move forward. Photos later as I document what happens!
