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).
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; muscle =
cars are usually body-on-frame, which is a simpler build (also, parts =
are more available, from Summit and others).=20
