My father in law had a 56 BN-2 in his garage for over 40 years. It was always going to be his retirement project, as I believe he bought it wrecked and was going to restore. The whole family seems to have different stories and memories so it is hard to really know its true history. He did a tremendous amount of work to it but never got to see it finished, as he passed a couple years ago. It is now my wife’s car, and a new Hobbie I have been cast into. For the last year and a half with a lot, and I mean a lot of help from a good friend, and guy I would consider a Healey expert, my wife drove it for the first time this week. There were tears of joy!

So as the caretaker I have a lot to learn. I have driven it and what a fun car it is, but at 6’-1” it does not fit me well. I post pictures but they come out upside down

Welcome to BCF! That's a great little car you have there! Too bad your Father in Law never got to see it through completion.

As for the pictures, I'm guessing you took them with an iPhone? If so, that's a weird artifact of images shot with an iPhone (maybe Android too?). It has to do with the orientation of the phone when the shot is taken and the exif data for orientation that gets written. I think if you "edit" the image in the phone and do a slight "crop" to it before uploading it usually corrects that issue. Also it seems to happen mostly when pictures are taking in landscape orientation vice portrait mode.
