<div>Len,</div><div> I have seen the list from BCS before. Fairly accurate. The body work is finished on my car. (don't ask me how much it cost!) The drive train is close to completion. Just have to put the head on the motor. I still have to rebuild the suspension Trying to find someone to change out bushings and cream for the kingpin. I have 4 rebuilt shocks from Peter at Worldwide. I have a very nice steering box and a completely rebuilt trafficator. Most of the components have been purchased several years ago because I knew if I waited until I needed the to buy them it would cost more. In some cases, much more. Really I have the majority of components and parts to finish the car, but you have to know what I started with. (See attached pictures) And how it looks now many thousands of dollars later. I am in too deep to let anyone else finish this car. More than likely I will be finished a year or two after I retire. My Bugeye took 7 years.</div><div>Mike MacLean</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Len and/or Marge Hartnett <thehartnetts@earthlink.net> <br>Date: 3/31/2016 9:21 PM (GMT-08:00) <br>To: AH Mail List <healeys@autox.team.net> <br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] 100-6 part 2 <br><br>

<div>Len,</div>
<div> You are under the asumption that I have a significant
other at home. I do not. I have spent years building my retirement toy
collection of RC models, motorcycle, guns and my Healey project. Those are my
reason to live after leaving the work force. Unlike other worker bees, I
will not be lost looking for something to do. Waiting for the mailman every
day will not be the high point of my day. I WILL be waiting for the UPS truck
for parts for the BN2. Projects around the house will take a back seat
to finishing the car.</div>
<div> Did I mention I am an avid upland bird hunter too!
I cannot wait for retirement.</div>

<p>For those of you nearing retirement who expect to spend more time on their
Healey projects, don’t put any money on that bet. </p>
<p>After I retired, with a project in progress, the family calendar filled up
rapidly with “honey-do” needs (Honey, will you….), “administrative” (paper
work that seemed come out of nowhere - maybe the significant other was doing
it before?), and numerous things that you did not have time for while you
were working.</p>
<p>Unless you treat your project as a ‘job’, 8-5?, away from the house, I
predict that it will sit there just as it has for the past few years. Until,
that is, it becomes a nuisance: she can’t get the lawn mower past it, it’s in
the way, “are you ever going to get that thing done”, “you need more money for
WHAT?”, you are getting older and losing interest or physical ability, etc.,
etc. You may just decide to pass it on to someone else to complete and
concentrate on the one you are driving. I did. :-(</p>
