I once had a complete exhaust system delivered to my work address. Should
have seen the heads turn when the intra office mail guy carted it up to my
office.

Some ideas:
-Sell part that have even the slightest chance of restoration on ebay or
craigslist. Give the listers a first chance for good Healey Karma. The
wife will appreciate the reduction of clutter and you can tell you bought
that new shiny part with the money you made on the old stuff. Works well
for me! For instance I am looking for a fuel tank sender for parts. If
your leaky fuel tank still has the sender I'll make you an offer.
-Use parts to decorate you garage shop or dedicate a small part of a shelf
to store bend valves, burnt pistons, broken rotors to appease the Healey
gods. These are also usually good conversation starters if you put those on
your desk at work. (not the gas tank though!)
-Have new parts delivered to your work address. My wife still catches me
when I try to sneak them in the garage but she's OK with it. Of course I
tell her I bought it with proceeds from selling parts on feebay and she just
smiles.
Bert
