Curious as to how many other members of this forum have a similar addiction.

http://www.modifiedhealeys.org/Photos/18Elliott/Elliott.htm this link shows some pics from approx 2004 (early build) to 2009 (pre buffing stage) and that site has a number of modded Healeys - from mild to wild

I have a fair number of pictures over the years - 2002 up to summer '09 and will post when allowed. One of the benefits of doing a project over several years is stepping back and reviewing current versus final vision and making running changes, as needed. This project started out as an...

Had a Merkur XR4Ti with turbo (4 years) which was a lot of fun but for my driving at the time (to work etc) the lag and need to spool up left me looking for other alternatives at the end of the lease. How difficult is it to do conversions or swaps within regulatory framework? In NY anything over...

hello - is your escort turbo'd?

currently over 200 hours myself and approx 80 by helper-I also tallied the sandpaper cost - over $300 to date. I have some left over, but I need some grits as the job is not finished yet. started out originally by hand and later dual action but dry 220, 320, 400, 500 then wet 500, 100, 1500, and...

conversion took about 4 years- several false starts- originally repairing steel wings became replacing with aluminum (funny but expensive story); original chassis abandoned after insidious rust worm detected - requiring fabrication of substantially upgraded frame rails and outriggers; original...

hello- I have been working on an old Austin Healey 3000 (1962) and coupled it with a new LS2 GM motor (6.0L). Took a few years to get things right but have it on the road about 2 years now and it is quite a blast. I will try to upload a pic or two to the pictures section. I am researching...
