Looks really good, nice thing about the 100--the minimalist interior and trim that make the car so attractive also mean less work than many cars putting them back together.
 
Now for the fun part, all the little details. Paint looks great keep us updated.

WOW!! Looking great!
 
I remember the feeling from about 18 months ago! Great job. Only advice I would offer is keep the progress methodical - don't rush anything in the excitement of getting near the end.

Another 100 back on the road..drove mine 50 miles yesterday...75 degrees in OHIO.



Keep up the good work..

Hey, you can't drive that with jack stands under the car!!!

:savewave:

Looks great!
 
:yesnod: Really looks nice. I bet you can't wait to drive that car up into the mountains around Tucson. Be patient though, and mind the details, they are important.

A little more progress. Off the jackstands, more pieces on it, actually to the end of the block and back yesterday. Need to work out some brake issues and then back to the painter to fix what I screwed up and a final buff.

It gets worse. There's a Colorado Red BT7 off to the side. It will go back to its original OEW when the BN1 is finished. My plan was to do the "Rough" BN1 Healey Blue sometime but there are a bunch of votes against me that say leave it alone. Its mechanicals are done and it's a blast to drive.
