That thing isn't worth the price to ship it to Australia.
Did you guys click the "home" link and look at how his previous Healey looked before and after? This guy is serious.
Damn. I wish I had those skills. Someday.

Yea he has skills but I bet this is the biggest basket case he has ever tackled.Quote:

My first sighting of the car as it arrived in Australia. It actually broke in half during the trip over
I hope he didn't pay much for that...
:shock: indeed.
Man, how many times have you driven by a car like that in a field or a barn and thought, "What a shame." Maybe I'm just anthropomorphizing a bit, but it seems so sad. It's great to see someone breathing life back into one, though he sure as hell has a job ahead of him.
I guess I can understand the philosophy of it; The core of building is making something from nothing -- something useful from something not -- and he's doing that in spades!

I think he loves cars more than I do.
Maybe he's just a masochist. :wink:
Or he's just too darn proud to admit he bought a turd!Quote:

Dag it! I was hoping to see the full restoration but it ended as abruptly as a "Sex in the Miata" thread on the :batman: board.
:evil:
Why not build one from scrach with some plans. Seems like it would be faster. I know some will say but it wouldn't be authentic, but hey, that cars going to need everything, so it won't be authentic either.
BTW, I think it's great the engine doesn't have sludge in the top, indicating that it might be low milage. Whew, I was thinking he may have been had. :lol: :roll: :lol:
