I will be wrapping up the long term austin healey bugeye project soon. Since the real estate market is allowing me to spend more time in the shop recently....:dita: I have decided to open the ihcs:devil: And pull in a few rigs to work on. The “chop shop” Is open! So if you have paint/body work and or rust repair/panel replacement that needs to be done and you don’t have the time or skills. Shoot me a pm and I can get you a bid.:gringrin:
 
The bugeye can come live with me in my office. Those are my first luv! Did ya know ya kin git laid in that space behind the seats?? With the tonneau cover snapped in place? In the parking lot at thomas jefferson hs in dallas, tx? Before the 8ayem bell? In 1965?

Git them cutaway doors into production first!

Oh so true...but ya always remember the first time!

I know the other party that participated was not the spare tire, I'd left that at home for the occasion!

:icon_eek: oh, that's just too much information! Good thing my therapist is still on speed dial. :lol:

I love healeys too. When we gonna see picts of my new car? :rolleyes:
 
I can't seem to find any pictures of the car before I started taking it apart. However here are a couple of the durring process. I completly disasembled this car. I sent the motor off to be rebuilt. It will get all new rubber pieces,carpet and upostery. Should be new when it's done....:winky:
first two are pictures of the car when I brought it home from the media blaster..

I hope to have this car in paint within a month but who knows it always seems to get slid to the side to work on an IH of some kind....:gringrin:
 
Are those the original floors? That car is really solid! These kinds of cars tend to rot out quickly because of the leaky tops, and the fact that they often get "orphaned" and set outside somewhere. But this one looks real clean. :thumbsup:

my brother had a 67 healey mk. 7 when I was a kid. Well, he actually had 7 at one point, but most of them were apart and in various places in his basement, garage and yard. :lol: :yikes: the one he kept for a while was the 67, which iirc, he brought back from dc when he got out of the service. I always wanted it, but of course I was 12 at the time, so he wasn't gonna save it for me. :rolleyes:

are you doccumenting the build on another board? (so we can quit hijacking this one :lol:)

Yep the original floors. The car was in pretty nice shape to start with. It had been hit in the front end very early in it's life but rust wise it is real solid. I'm not doccumenting this build anywhere else. I don't like to leave to much evidance....:dita:
