The 3 year mark!

Just put the engine back in the chassis for the first time in over three years. So I thought I would share a before and after picture.

What a difference a few years has made! I couldn't have done it without the support of this forum and a great set of insightful and at times a little crazy HEALEY FANS!

Thanks to Basil and the rest of you!

Michael.

Very nice work Michael, looks fantastic. Any idea how long before you get to fire the motor up?

Well done Michael. It takes me back to where I was a while ago. I can tell you it will be well worth it in many ways. For one thing I would have ended up with way too much money in the bank, and probably a bunch useless finished home projects, if not for my Healey!

Hello Michael

Thanks for sharing those great photo's, they remind me of when my BN1 was at the same stage in about 1980. It's such a wonderful feeling to get this far and have something to show for all the effort. Keep it up.

Michael.

Don't forget the often forgotten teeth. No windshield and a big old grin.
