Current customer rating: (307 votes ) based onWhat started with a " garage find " underwent a complete dis-assembly of the car. The frame was first high (HOT!) pressure power washed which resulted in finding no rust at all on the framework of this car. Frame was them media blasted and spray painted with Chassis Saver Black Urethane.
All Skins ( fenders. shrouds etc. ) have been addressed both sides.

This particular car has incorporated the " Healey 5 Speed " Conversion kit which is linked up to a W58 Completely Rebuilt Toyato 5 Speed Transmission.
The motor was completely broken down. crank was spray welded and re-cut for todays tolerances. then Balanced and documentated.
All new engine components "EVERYTHING" inside the motor and heads has been addressed NEW. weighed. balanced and professionally installed to within todays race spec limits. thus resulting in the motor being balanced and documentated.

For those of you who have ever restored a car like this. you know that the list seems to go on and on. Any questions. just ask.
The face of the dash panel and the steering wheel leather wrap is basically all that has not been addressed on this car. I thought to leave them.
Please do not let the mileage that is listed here mislead you. Since the completed Restoration just before winter arrived here 2013 there has been the following:
A) 20 minute run in on completely rebuilt motor: Oil and filter changed then
B) 300 Miles Driven on new Rebuild: Oil and filter again Changed
C) Less than 700 Miles put on car before being put in garage for the winter.
So your looking at roughly just 1. 00 miles on a throughly dis-assembled and rebuilt car.
Car has about 200 Miles on brand new 72 spoke STAINLESS rims and new radial tubless tires.
I am the one who did the sweating and bleeding and cursing over the restoration of this car. I'm realistic enough to know that I'm more than likely not going to get my sweat back in terms of dollars. I accept this. but I do hope to recoup my investment.
This is an absolutely wonderfully running and physically beautiful car.
Best of luck to all.
