Thanks Keoke and Dave R. aka Yoda for the advise on my points being grounded. My story started 2 years ago while looking for MGB parts with a friend. We went to a guys house to look at a B for parts but he had already sold the car.He then said Ive got an old car in the garage you might be intrested in. We walked in and up on a frame rotisere was a old big Healey. We quickly negotiated a deal (cheap)then it just started gettig better, he brought out a new top,and 5 red leather hides .It felt alot like Christmas!
Then I started researching Healey books and seen ok 62 bn7
disc wheels 3 su carbs 354 gear non ajustable wheel and still hads the state inspection sticker 1973- 1974 on the windshield.Just to make it more sweet my wife was born in 62 and encouraged me to buy it. Man life is gooood. Any way after 2 years I have the Chassis and runnig gear completed and a good start on the body panels. Hope to have it on the road in the spring, So if you are on the Blueridge Parkway and see a guy with a Old English white bn7 a beautiful Blonde wife,and a big smile on his face, Thats me . Blueridge1 OH !! I just cranked it up today for the first time it ran in 31 years,sounds good !!!
 
BlueRidge1,
You will have some company on the Blue Ridge parkway when I get my BJ8 back together! Your post struck a cord with me. Back when I was 18 I drove the BJ8 that I am now restoring on the Blue Ridge parkway and in the Smokey Mts. national park. The top was down most of the time, early September 1970. I didn't drive the car very much after that. Off on my own after that. The car was garaged after that and then taken apart. I plan on the Blue Ridge Parkway being one of my 1st trips after I get the bugs worked out and have confidence that my car doesn't have any big problems. We'll have to meet sometime and cruise the parkway ! Good Luck on finishing up yours !
