Well, I acquired my BN1 in 1997. It was restored to Concours specs by
2022. Meanwhile I had to learn how to weld (gas and MIG), sand blast, do
extensive rust repair, finish panels, apply hardened paints, r&r engine,
tranny, rear end, find quality chrome platers, locate various hen's teeth
items, obtain and install wiring harness, fuel and brake systems. Numerous
people helped me tremendously along the way and I couldn't have done it
without them. Roger Moment was of singularly continuous, consistent advice
and source of unavailable parts. Things I did not do myself: engine and
tranny rebuild, chrome plating, upholstery, wheel balancing beyond static
balance. What did it cost? I have no idea. A lot of the parts and
outside labor were done several years ago when they cost less than they do
now. What is it worth to me now? A lifetime of experience and
experiences. At 87 this is probably my last Healey.
