Following the publishing of the hardtop restoration for my car, several people have asked me to post the link for my full restoration web site. The site includes a summary of all of the "personalizations" made to my car, a blog that provides a week-by-week description of the assembly of the "Bloody Beast" and a few other points of interest. I want to thank members of the healeys@autox list, the British Car Forum, several vendors and a few Healeyophiles who have become good friends for their help along the way. I will maintain the site, so if their are tips or suggestions that ought to be included to benefit others please let me know.

I should warn you it is big, full of high resolution images and therefore will not be a quick loader! It is definitely the "War and Peace" version of the restoration - particularly the weekly restoration blog - it is not an abridged version.


A link to the site is also available at John Sims' site.

I have a new religion and this shall be my Bible. The pictures will save those of us who purchased their cars dis-assembled. Great site!!!

Hi Lin,
My hats off to you, very nicely designed site. I like your table of contents, broken down by catagory. Hope building the site didn't take as long as restoring the car. :jester:
 
Thanks, guys! Yes, Greg the site itself was easy to develop, but the discipline to keep it up-to-date was a challenge sometimes. I got so much help from this
Forum, the healey list and from the Healey faithfull that I just wanted to return the favor for those amateurs like myself who wanted to give restoration a try.

After my wife and bank account get over this one, I would like to try a concourse restoration, but I would have to start with a better car than mine was initially!

Greg, BTW, how is that motor running? I love the look of those mikunis (sp?)

It's been awhile since the motor was turned over. When it ran though, it were niiice. Still need to build a choke circuit. Otherwise the idle is set too high once the engine warms up. That and fine-tune the accelerator pumps.
