Hello Everybody,

How time flies. I joined this forum in July 2017, shortly after purchasing a 1966 BJ8 3000 MK3, Phase 2 Healey that I am considering restoring. I had recently finished a five-year restoration of a 1956 MGA and knew I needed another project to keep busy. Now, I'm not so sure I want to get started on the project or sell the Healey and maybe look for something else. Since I like to do all the work myself and realize this Healey is a MUCH more complex car than the MGA, it will take a while and lots of cash do do correctly. That's my dilemma at the moment.

My other cars are a 1964 Jaguar 3.8 S Saloon that I bought and restored in the late '70s and a 1966 E type FHC that I bought in 1978 and restored over the course of twelve years - can't rush those restoration projects.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Hello Alan

Welcome to the forum

I do not know the Healeys so I can't comment on the complexity of them and the difficulty of restoring one but I would think they are much like the Triumphs of the same age. I am on the last lap of a complete rebuild of a TR3A . My first restore project.
Post your question in the Healey section and see what advice you get there.

Alan, if you've had a 66 Etype then you've already had the top of the list on complexity for a little British car! Welcome to BCF!
