Meet Patches, the 1965 Austin Healey 3000

Nice work, as always!

In reply to AxeHealey :

Thanks. 

How good remains to be seen. This is that fun part of any big project where everyone wants to be done, but the inevitable rattle or breakdown shows up. The goal was to be able to put a few miles on the car before the snow shuts the world down. Lets hope the car passes the safety  today, should then return under its own power with new plates and the weather holds for  a while.

Having watched two of these resurrected, one of which was in similar shape as this one, I applaud you.  This was no easy task, and it came out great.

Soooo close to done. Today was the front grill, and to be honest I was ready to punt on this task. Thankfully cooler heads and a better eye arrived and with a bit of tweeking and bashing the grill in in. 

I have at least a week before the MGB arrives so will poke away at some interior bits and fiddle with the top details before sending the Healy for a drive home.

Those white wheels look spectacular now. I fear pad dust will temper my enthusiasm after a few mile though

And she is gone! 

New chapter starts tomorrow.
