2017 is going to be a great year for 463 BEV my 54 100. She will be 63 years old and will return to the road for the first time in 30 years! I just received these great photos from Kaye at Fourintune, so we can get a pretty good idea of the surgery that BEV is going to undergo in the coming weeks!

Happy New Year everyone in Healey-land.
 
Exciting times ahead!

As a provider of photo-documentation for many people throughout the year__and having been on the receiving end while our current house was being built__I certainly know the value in vicariously following along with the pictures__and you know we'd all like to follow along with you!
 
Rick, having neglected her for so long due to lack of resources, the least I can do is take her to the best now that I can afford to do it.
 
It really is thrilling getting the progress photos, especially to see it magically come together and resemble a car again! Throughout the restoration of my car I was amazed by what a bunch of guys working "full time" could accomplish. For my part, I bid 2016 adieu, along with 90% of the check writing for the restoration, and eagerly welcome 2017--I'll be visiting my completed car in a few weeks for the walk through!
 
Here are a couple of recent update photos from the last couple of weeks. Chrome trim has been repaired and plated and the seats are rebuilt getting ready for upholstery. Metal repair has commenced with the doors.
