BJ7 Almost completed.....

[Johnny]

Another AH hits the streets...well almost.

Drove the first 25 miles, now fixing what's broke.
What's different? Well, for one it's a European spec car with locking steering wheel and other not so obvious changes. I'm very proud of this one, and I still have room for both cars. If you've been checking the "classifieds" forums you'll see I'm cleaning out the garage, and attic. Also, this is the first post with my new signature, hope it works.

Very nice - love the color!

Really sweet! I thought most exports to Germany&Sweden also had small lock added to outside door handles, had one years ago, may be wrong. They were different than MR3 handles,had no button, just levers, cheers Genos2

The pull handles were standard on the BJ7 Euro spec cars. Maybe the BJ8 PH 1 cars had the locking handles like the 100/6 models. I don't know, these were the existing handles on the car and were in pretty good shape.
Thanks for responding.

Looks great Johnny!
Congrats.

Thanks Lin. Looking at your Avatar I'd say the colors are the same. Thought about going "bumperless" but with the St. Louis traffic I changed my mind. I figure any protection is better than none.

Great, now I'm going to have more competition at the St. Louis car shows...

Looks great, John. Hope to see you soon.

The car looks GREAT, John.

Are you going to have it at Tri-Healey ?

Mine also is a Euro Spec BJ7. Has the same door handles as yours.

Beautiful Johnny. Nice backdrop too.
You have two Healeys now? Double the trouble, double the fun!
Cheers,
Roger

It looks terrific John. We need more red Healeys in this town.

I hope you bring it to the club soon - I would love to be shown the Euro differences.

I tip my cap to you and all those who restore these babies. The knowledge, patience and craftsmanship that goes into such an effort is inspiring.

The car looks GREAT, John.

Not sure if I can make Tri-Healey this year. We are trying to arrange though.

Johnny,it is a beautiful Healey, I cant wait till mine is ready almost a rolling frame. That is hard work and dedication, a Healey well presented.

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to get my BJ7 on the road again....sounds like a Willie Nelson song. Yours looks beautiful...any more pics?

Happy cruising.
