lol, yea it looks rough, but it is 98% complete. almost all the parts are there. i bought it off a guy who has be a healey fanatic for most of his life. He raced them in the 70's and 80's, and has pictures of himself with the origional designer, Donald Healey.
beleive it or not you can almost build an entire car out of new parts. there are a few big vendors who carry almost everything you could need.
i did a fairly accurate calculation and come up with about $15-$18k total cost to get it restored correctly. i plan on doing a lot of the work myself, but when i get stuck or need help there is a guiy 2 hours away who restores them (and other old british cars) for a living.
but, dont this just look sexy as hell? this one is my muse...
