CAD$177,000 (USD$125,000). I wonder if the car will stay in Canada?
Car is Concours Gold, but has front disk brakes; no deduction? Car can
certainly benefit from that upgrade.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Nice car! <br>
Wholly agree. First thing I look for in a side shot is the
slight curve of the bottom rockers; when we restored my BN2 I
ordered from Kilmartin because their parts were faithful to
the original curve. Another thing that gives a resto away is
the wire bead inside the rear wing edges; unfortunately, when
I replaced the doglegs on my BJ8 I got aftermarket panels that
didn't have the bead. I bought them later but haven't felt
compelled enough to redo them (plus, I haven't figured out how
the meld the existing bead with the replacement bead).<br>
<br>
It's a common fallacy of owners of restored cars that their
car is 'worth' what they've put into it, both in dollars and
hours. The car is worth what the market will offer, period. I
also feel a resto of a Healey is more difficult than the shiny
'restomods' you see on B-J and other auctions. Healeys are a
semi-monocoque (unibody) build;Â muscle cars are usually
body-on-frame, which is a simpler build (also, parts are more
available, from Summit and others). <br>

I guess itâ??s a lot easier to ignore the curve when repairing
the rot at the bottom of the fenderâ?¦but the replacements from
AH spares and others do have the correct line.
