Thanks for the support, Paul. I'm sure I'll need it. Like you, think I'll make
it a winter job along with replacing the break and gas lines.

I did my front end this last winter. (steering and idling box, ball joints,
trunion bushings, control arm bushings etc.).....not a problem. Even did
my own front end alignment.
When you're doing it, I and I'm certain that many others on this list will
help.

Subject: [Healeys] Front Suspension
Ok, I got a call from Peter and the shocks are on their way back. While
looking at the front suspension, contemplating reassembly, I think to
myself,"Well, they're already half apart."
So here are my questions:
What do I look for in evaluating weather or not to rebuild the front end or
do I just do (or don't) do it.? The car has only 37K miles on it and spent
much of the last 30 years in a barn. The sway bar is new. It was replaced
for sale. The rest wasn't.
What is the skill level required to rebuild the front end? Under the
tutelage of a professional mechanic I have replaced a lot of parts and done
some wiring, but when it came to rebuilding the carbs he took that one on.
Are there any better instructions on the job than in the green book?

No; I don't have a thing the British Royals. She's Blonde (Old English
White), beautiful and although feisty at times, she handles herself with
grace, style and class.
