[Healeys] Another Healey Lives> > Hello all,> > This afternoon at approx. 1:10
PM EST, a 1964 Phase 1 BJ8 fired up again for> the first time in about 25
years. This car has been undergoing a complete> restoration (in the truest
sense of the word) that began in August of 2006. We> are pleased to say that
all went very well, and the freshly rebuilt engine was> run up to about 2000
RPM for about 20 minutes, then brought down to a smooth> strong idle and was
shut off.> There's nothing like the sense of accomplishment as the engine
warmed up, the> thermostat opened, the smell of engine paint began to cure and
burn in, and> the pungent odour of a crisp exhaust spewed out the open garage
doors into the> cold and snowy winter afternoon.> Now to finish the interior,
the top and tonneau cover installations, and the> detailing and adjusting of
everything on this "new" car.> Plans are that this dark BRG Phase 1 will be
driven to the Kingston, Ontario> AHCA Conclave in June where it will be judged
in Concours.> > Rich Chrysler>
