I’m restoring an Austin Healey BJ8 from 1964. My father in law bought the car in 1967. Pretty amazing to have the opportunity to get this car back on the road. I’m ding as much of the work myself in my garage. This is my 2nd restoration project the 1st being a 1952 Chevy Panel Truck resto mod. Tons of metal work.
Looking forward to lots of help problem solving the many challenges ahead.
 
welcome and you have a great project! glad you are here and we would love to see pics - of the chev as well. :cheers:
 
This is how it looked when we got it to our home in Snohomish Wa from Long Island NY.

Welcome to BCF! and congrats on keeping those two antiques alive.

Say, the framing of your garage looks like hand hewn posts and beams. How old is your house?

The house was built in 1935, not sure when the barn now garage and wood shop was built.
Thanks for fixing the photos.
 
I just finished a 64 Healey 1 year ago and now have another one I am working on. Great project. You will like how it turns out and love to drive it.
