[Healeys] 2.6 engine rebuild

I would have to agree,  Martin knows our cars.  It seems your argument is
about his frame.   I look at his frame as no different than radial tires.  A
better choice is available now with a sturdier frame that will last for 50
years.  Why not use it?

Each of us must choose what to do on their car.  I myself added extras to
the car so I would be more willing to drive it.  My car that was "finished"
last summer year has 1500 miles on it and it will get more!   It still looks
original from the outside, but I have added things under the hood and in the
electrical.   If you are going to add a spin on oil filter, why not a new
frame?

Curt,

      You are way off base about Martin.  He knows Austin Healeys and all
about concours.  He believes in keeping Healeys on the road and has made it
his life's endeavor.

  We all have our opinion what is ok to do with our cars and what is not,
but isn't that the car culture as a whole?

Happy Holidays,
