New member, Basil send me an email to introduce myself.
I am a retired Coast Guard JAG officer living in Coral Gables, Florida. After retiring for the second time last summer as a judge, I thought it was time to restore a BJ8 I bought in the early 90's.
H-BJ8-L /41960 built according to BMIHT 28-29 June 1967. The car was in pieces located in Scranton, PA and here in Miami.
The car is principally being restored by British Restoration Corp. in Philly. However, with an engineering background I do want to do some work on the car and am missing some steering and front suspension parts.
Would like recommendations on best place to obtain missing pieces and interior pieces with recommendations on leather vs. Ambla (the original interior). Car was originally Ivory White with Red interior. Plan have it painted Healey Blue over White with Blue interior.
Would also be interested in starting an Austin Healey Club or British Car Club in Southern Florida. I also own a 1956 MGA.
Godspeed,
Proctor
