- After years of lurking the Healey market, I made my move and bought this 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6, sight unseen, from Bring a Trailer. Good buy? Bad buy? Let me know what you think as we look over the car and I explain the madness behind my decision.
I am going through a 1970 MGB currently but a Healy is my dream car!!
Look forward to following along as you update..
A nice solid base to work with. Good luck!
Hope your reno goes well and you post more vids as you progress. They don't make em like this anymore !!
I'll be continuing the series on the Healey, just waiting on parts at the moment to continue.
Good luck with all the work. I've done a couple myself.
Thanks! This is my first Healey, so a bit of a learning curve with the way it is constructed compared to what I am used to working on. Hopefully I don't botch it too badly.
I have a used front grill for your model year healey. Will sell for a reasonable price plus shipping from California
You're my kind of guy! I have a BaT MGTD, BaT Checker Cab, a BaT Model A, the big Honda Shadow, and a few dozen others. Keep up the good work.
Hah, that is about as random as my collection! The history on the Checker Cab cars are fascinating to me and it seems most of them have unique stories attached to them. I'll be slowly introducing more of my collection over the coming weeks as I start getting things organized and try to get some progress on all of the projects.
@@JamesSorenson A brother from a different mother! I look forward to seeing the collection. I hope I can get organized enough to figure out what I have.
wait 'till you hit the overdrive when cruising at 60MPH, be ready for the next 60MPH !!!
When will it be on bat , soon ?
I bought it from BaT -- won't be going back any time soon.
replace the wiring before a fire ensues
It's definitely high up on my list. There's not much left on the car that is still powered through the original wiring though, as much of it has hastily been rewired by the prior owner.
