I'm in the middle of a major restoration of a 67 Healey too. I have
the car
completely stripped. Right now it is nothing more than a painted substructure
on a
dolly...
I'm not quite sure what panels you are talking about removing. You can
take
the fenders, doors and shrouds off with little trouble. The rest of the car is
welded
together and will require a pretty serious effort to repair, but it is do-able.
Your
car is worth the effort to repair properly. Be very careful to check the frame
rails
when you are rebuilding the body. BY the way, the proper BJ8 engine has more
power than
the one currently in your car.
