[Healeys] Something Controversial?

[Bob Spidell]

Does anyone have a softcopy of the Leach article they can send me?

Without even reading the Sprite article I can tell you that if it emphasizes--or even mentions--how much it cost or how 
much was spent it would be off-putting to me.  Just tell me what was done and how--I know how much things Healey cost.  
Checkbook restorations are fine--and good for the Healey economy--but I'm not impressed by what someone pays someone 
else to do something.

FWIW, my dad and I are restoring an M to as near original as we can, both to save money and preserve its character.  I 
have absolutely no idea how much we've spent, nor do we care, but it hasn't been much (I think paint has been the single 
biggest expense as we apply it, sand it off, apply it ... trying to get a decent finish).
