If you're contemplating restoration, and are a member of AHCUSA, check out
Healey.org and locate the 37-part Restoration Tips written by Roger Moment
over the last four years for Austin-Healey Magazine. If you work through it a
the rate of 1 or 2 segments a month, it will guide you through all of the
decisions and work in the process. Restoring a car is not so much a matter
of costs as it is of time, space, and attention. To do one yourself where
you're trying to do it for a minimum amount of money out of pocket, you need
to know that you will be embarking on an all-encompassing hobby that will
fill your spare time for the next two to three years.
But when you finish, if you're successful, you'll have climbed an Everest
that will always be one of the milestone achievements in your life.
Good luck,
Gary
