[Healeys] more tranny conversion Nash Healey

[Dave Porter]

Ron,
 Oh, I know exactly what makes us change things, I didn't just fall off the
turnip truck. Since you opened the door I was just making a sweeping
generalization to motives. Don't take it personally.  
 BTW, as a repair shop it makes it MUCH harder to carry out most repairs due
to many of these "improvements". It's the owner's nickel....

dave .
it is not my job nor responsibility to preserve every vehicle as original.
My  BJ8 is original.
my Jaguar E coupe has Wilwood brakes so it can actually stop as well as it
goes.

i don't want it to be a valuable museum piece. i want it to be a fun car
that i can put 1000's of miles a year on driving around the country.
this way it will be seen by many more people than it would if it was a
perfectly restored original sitting in a garage or museum.

if yo want to see the nash healey perfectly restored then you buy one and do
that with yours.
