Great build

Disappointing. There's something slightly worrying about the build. Nice concept, great restoration, lots of nice touches, lots of money thrown at the problems but I would like him to get more thinking time on the problems and perhaps some more experienced /professional advice on some aspects of the build/problems. I suspect he is at the limit of his knowledge and even beyond at times, doesn't clearly define the causes of the problems and ends up treating symptons without eliminating the cause.
I'd love to see it, love to own it but wouldn't want a drive in it at the moment.

Are you referring to the engine mounts & lack of rhd pedal box by any chance?

(i read it and kept thinking it was Fozzie - due to the avatar).

Nice build, but looked that it was done by a company rather than self build.
ie photos show other half built healeys, hence a specialist builder doing the work.

Its magic what you can do with a large budget.

Nice car, and nice to see it done.

Nice one, I like it.....classic metal.



Summer past my brother offered me the use of his big block Cobra, while he works in the USA. The deal stumbled with his Mrs who would not approve.


If I fell in a barrel of tits, I would come out sucking my thumb - maybe one day ...

Have a look at his other build thread. MUCH more impressive! (and it looks to have been done by himself)
