Slow like a snail

Recently I have been puttering on the car. You know cleaning, coating and repairing, some of it was easy, most was cheap and some was very difficult. The labours of my efforts is that I have gotten a lot done in a reasonable time. As the project progresses I know there will be problems but other than one broken bolt in a rivnut everything has gone well.

I have gotten the foot peddles all fixed up, all that is left to do is get the links for the carbs installed. As usual they are all powder coated for protection.



The master cylinders for the breaks are in and connected to the peddles


Some of the fire wall is still to complete , some is done and some will have to wait until other parts I don't have, are installed first.

The front right suspension is on and the left shock is on, as soon as the left bushings get reamed and fitted to the king pin it can go on as well.


Thanks for taking interest in the Healey and checking out my Blog

Annual vacation is over and the wrath of being away has been taken care of. I have had very little time to putter but I have done some minor things to the car.


One of the first pieces was the heater box since it had been rebuilt and was ready to go. The next was the fan motor and ducting for the heater and fresh air.



Then came the right front suspension, it was a bit of a challenge by myself but I was able to get it on and secured



In this picture you can see the installed wiring harness and the heat shield. The heat shield for the fire wall is not done, I still have to install some plumbing to the dash and install the break and clutch peddle box befor it can go on.
