[Healeys] Replacement wings/fenders

[Oudesluys]

There is no way these cars will stand up to modern standards for fit. 
Have a close look gentlemen and thou wilt see. Also check for the amount 
of lead used to make things more or less acceptable.
They may be very nice original and unrestored (probably repainted) cars 
but compare them with a top restored 100 points car and you will notice 
the difference.
Personally I prefer the unrestored originals.
