I think that most of the fasteners used to attach the fenders are bolts and clips. The clips are installed on the top lip of the fenders. I thought the bolts had a square thread, but the factory parts manual calls them spire bolts, so may-be not. Normal" nut and bolts are found along the bottom of the dog legs. See Moss p/n 321-868 and 321-818.<br>

Good points. I am having rotator surgery on my right arm so I will be<br>
giving up many duties and having the restoration company finish them for<br>
me since I'll be immobilized for 6 wks, then PT.<br>
<br>
One item--- instead of using the nuts and bolts to re-hang the fenders,<br>
one of the mechanics is using clips so he wont have to fumble with<br>
trying to get the nut on the bolt. Not sure if this is any big deal, but<br>
not the way it was done at the factory. I remembered disassembly, how<br>
much of a pain it was to get two wrenches on each attachment.<br>
<br>
Some days I feel the reassembly is going so slow, I forget how tough of<br>
a job it is. On the other hand, I don't want to pay for time wasted<br>
since this is their first Healey. They have done thousands of<br>
restorations, and each car is unique.<br>
<br>
I'm going there tomorrow to have them estimate the labor needed to<br>
finish the project and hope to be at the finish line soon!!<br>

Hi Chris,<br>
At least this is the fun bit BUT I would absolutely have to agree with<br>
David.<br>
If it was an original car, and all the parts were properly restored<br>
and sorted I would budget 40 hours..<br>
Add to that any time to clean up threads, find missing parts, clean<br>
and paint all those little (and larger) bits, repair all the damaged<br>
harness connectors, research where things fit (particularly if you<br>
haven't assembled one before or even recently), endlessly sort through<br>
fasteners to find one more "correct" hex bolt or narrow section lock<br>
washer, etc, etc.<br>
Remember that car is at least 56 years old and many many parts of it<br>
will require work before they can be reused.<br>
I have over 200 hours of body shell reassembly on #174 after paint not<br>
including mechanical, interior or top.<br>
You can do it quick or you can do it right but not both.<br>

2-3 days not a chance. To strip the car to a bare chassis about 40<br>
hours. I would a lot at least 100 hours to do what you are<br>
asking. As long as everything is ready to install. And that would<br>
probably concervitave<br>

How long is a piece of string? Very difficult to put a time on<br>
all that. It can take an age to line up all the panels correctly<br>
and hang the doors so the latches work perfectly. Are they all<br>
the same panel parts that came off the car? Windshield, lights,<br>
grill and bumpers are all simple and you can do those yourself.<br>

The biggest issue is that shit don't go back in reverse<br>
order, no matter what the manual says. Seriously, the<br>
issues of time resolve around the stuff you discovery that<br>
need to be fixed, or having a third hand handy when need it.<br>
I think 2-3 days is very hopeful.<br>

For those who have done a complete nut and bolt<br>
restoration, how many hours do you budget for an<br>
experienced mechanic to reassemble the exterior of a<br>
100-6? I'm mainly talking body panels, doors, trunk,<br>
bonnet, windshield, trim, lights, grill, bumpers. Not<br>
concerned with wiring, drivetrain, or interior at this<br>
stage. Just exterior.<br>
<br>
I was budgeting 2-3 days based on other's conversations,<br>
but I may be way off. Thanks.<br>
