Hey y'all,
Haven't left a post in a while as sold my BN4 but getting
ready to purchase a 67 BJ8 from a fellow Healey Club member
AHCUSA who's had it for 35 years. Got some rust issues
but not in the frame or inner body, just the dog legs
and rockers ( and they're not too bad at all). Needs
an interior so here's my question - this was originally
Healey white/ivory with black interior but I was thinking of
going to a red leather interior with red coves - from what
I can gather this was a correct color combo in 67 ? I
would like to keep the original paint color as the basis
but add the painted coves. Also, smokes a bit and leaks
a bit - like that's unusual - and high mileage on the engine
so I'm thinking rings or valve guides ? Otherwise runs
great with good oil pressure. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Mike - big healey source
