Hi folks,
Still need to adjust the doors but I have the windscreen and bonnet on now with both adjusted to fit nicely. Oh yeah, still got to tend to that shift lever and started the hardtop - its not fun!

Here are a few updated images. Sorry, slow to load - high resolution.
Cheers.

Getting closer all the time!

Hi Lin

Nice looking work you are doing.

I am also in the process of restoring a hardtop for a BT7 and i am curious to know how you will proceed to do the finishing of the hardtop aluminium trims. I didn't found a lot of info on that subject out there.

Gilbert,
I sent my pieces to Ano-Brite in California. They did a very nice job. These components are not anodized in more of a matte finish like the cockpit surround molding.

1960 BT7 in restoration, but almost there!

Thanks everyone! I think this will be a fun Spring!
I could not be where I am without the support, encouragement, technical advice, and friendship of the Healey community on this Forum.
