Well like most of my car work - I'm going about this one backwards too. I spent a couple weeks on-line going through the Healey pages... mad cause I couldn't search. Finally joined so I could post a question to later find the search hidden (in plain sight) on the right side of the sceen. After a week or so of posting... I'm finally back around to where I should have started.
British Cars I've owned.
76 MGB - Bought it for $500 when a guy on my soccer team wanted beer money when he left for college (wen't from 2000 to 500 in less than 5 minutes and I didn't say a word). No floors and a bad frame... typical unrestored Pennsylvania car. Drive it through HS and college - get married and then move to Nashville, TN.
77 MGB - Decided to buy a car with a better frame... 8 more years wasn't doing the 76 a lot of good. Found a good 77 and started another restoration process. 2 years later she's complete - 17 days after I get it titled she's lost in a head on with a drunk driver. President of the Nashville British Car Club sees the accident on TV and sends out his members to find out who we were. A nurse shows up in my hospital room and I'm into the club.
56 MGA - Insurance money for the car goes to buy an unrestored A that a member of the club had started but got tired of. 5 years of restoration and a move to NC and she's done. 6 months later - we're having our first baby. I can't let the British cars go so I start looking for a 4 seat Healey. Yea I know - not really usable - but the step up in engine, style and overdrive was all I needed (the 4 seats helped the wife OK it)
62 Healey Tricarb - I went to pick this up 2 days after my little girl was born (my wife's parents were here... but I still get this brought up quite often). Another trailer and many boxes of parts are now in the garage. My little girl will be 3 soon and although there has been progress - it is not very visable (to the untrained eye as I tell my wife).
So that's it - one at a time. I don't have pockets deep enough to support more than one or a wife willing to give up more storage space for resto parts. But as long as there is one in the family - it is a happy family.
This sight has already provided a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate those who take their time to help those of us just starting on a new project. Hopefully i will be able to provide a little support every now and then.
