I had a '73 B in my younger days. The mechanicals are as robust as can be. The body, not so much. Rust is the enemy. The B has no separate frame (it's a unibody), so rust in the sills or suspension attachment points will require new metal. Body works gets expensive fast. -- Kent McLean '56 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
