Hi Listers,
Some of you may remember that I authored Parts 1 and 2 of my slow (over 10
years now) resto of BJ8 32038 and which was published in Austin Healey
Magazine in issues 4-5/2005 and 7/2005 respectively. Back in those good old
days, most articles were in B/W - not the full color we enjoy today.
Well, I still own the car and things have been moving along - slowly of
course. But 32038 is now back on the road at last in a brand new livery - and
looks just great - I think. When new, she was Healey blue/blue. When I
bought her in 1989, she was blotchy spray-can green/tan - really bad and
sliding downhill. Now she is fresh, yellow/dark red, and ready for a new life
here on the N. Calififornia roads.
The new January issue of Austin Healey Magazine has 32038 on the cover, and
the final / Part 3 of the resto article on page 8 for those of you that have
been patiently following the saga. I hope you enjoyed the journey - I did.
My thanks to Reid Trummel who published the first 2 parts as prior Editor, and
to Gary Anderson who kindly published the third part as current Editor.
