I would love to see some photos.
With the current cost of parts and labor. It just seems to make poor
economic sense to restore a non- special car. I have a run of the mill BN4
that I have been working on for 40 years. I have spent more in the last 10
years than in the first 30 combined. I can do a lot of the work myself or
with the help of friends and have kept my out of pocket expenses below the
cars value. These rust buckets and barely there cars make no sense to
restore. It seems that there has to be cars in better condition to start
with if you want the fun of restoring a Big Healey. My next project will
most likely be a MG due to cost considerations. If I had deep pockets, that
would be another story.
Thanks for saving another car from the tin worms.
Cheers
