Hello All,
I recently joined BCF after reading the many helpful and interesting posts on the site. Here is a little bit about me. I am currently restoring a 1962 Austin Healey 3000 BT7 MK2. The car is stripped down to the bodyshell and I am in the process of replacing sills, door posts, floors, rocker panels...etc. I owned my first Austin Healey 3000 (1960 BT7) in 1978 (I was 16), whereby I purchased the car as a trade for a Norton Atlas 750 motorcycle. Unfortunately, college forced the sale of a car I really loved. I was always a corvette enthusiast and over the last 30 years have built my collection of 4 corvettes, however the Austin Healey was and always remained a favorite. Soooooooooooooo....last year I purchased the 1962 AH 3000 to perform a complete nut and bolt restoration.....My wife is at here wits end over this as she has tolerated 3 complete restorations on the corvettes already. But this is a HEAlEY!!!! The big difference with this car is we need to deal with rust, something I have avoided in the last 30 years. I will look to post photos if I can and also any questions that come up as I go...............So, here we go.......ONE MORE TIME!!!! :yesnod: Me :madder: my wife

Hi Swoz,

"Welcome Back" to the wonderful world of LBCs.

"Congrats" (Despite what your Wife Thinks) on your new project. There are many of us here with the same situation.

Introduce Yourself to the Healey Forum and fire away with pics, questions etc.

What yrs are the Vettes? My personal favorite is `63-`67 Rdstr.

Best Wishes from the Pocono Mtns of PA.

Thanks Russ!! I have a 64 Coupe, 66 Roadster (not complete), 76 Coupe, and 1989 Corvette that I purchased new in 1988. The 1966 Corvette is on hold to allow the Healey project to commence. Talk soon......Tony
 
Welcome Swoz!
Always nice to have another east-coaster aboard.
