The video set sold by Moss, covering the interior and carpet installation on
a BJ8, has a good section on installing the top. Buy or borrow a copy if you
can.

Hello Healey listers,
Just short of 3 years after buying a disassembled 64 BJ8 Phase I, and 2
years and 3 months after starting work on the car at BMC Restorations with
Peter Brauen in Kiln, Mississippi, I drove her home yesterday 120 miles to
Baton Rouge. What a thrill! Peter only worked on the car while I was there,
so of course the schedule was limited by my availability.  What a delight,
driving a car that I've wanted since high school in the early 70's.  She's
mine, and she's home.  A dream come true.

Not quite finished yet though.  As you can see from the pictures, I still
need to install the grill and attach the front bumper.  A bigger task is
putting together the convertible top frame and getting the top on.  I'm
going to attempt to do those myself at home over the next several weeks.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some detailed
instructions for reassembling the frame and installing the convertible top
on it.  I have Norman Nock's Tech Talk book but I don't see any reference to
this particular task.

Thanks to all who have answered questions and helped me find parts.  It's
been fantastic having you all in the Healey brotherhood as a resource. Now,
maybe I can start to become one myself.
Cheers,
Rick
64 BJ8 Phase I
