Thread: 65 AUstin Healey

Finally back to the Austin Healey, engine out, fabricate a new Alloy transition plate between the engine and the gearbox, new clutch, pressure plate, carbon thrust, and slave cylinder. Got a Sebring fast back for the top! My son and I preserved this car 20 yrs ago, it has a nice patina to it now and we are leaving it like that. Sills , door pillars and all rust was removed back then, still all good. Then it's out of my garage and into his, yes!!f

I'll give ya $986.00 nzd for it.

It's worth 1098?

Nice little 32 mm delorto carb on it

More pics, is it a sprite?

Wait till you meet my wife then!

Pongolian scrap metal.... .. Don't need oil changes they mostly leak it out quicker than they burn it ..
Worked on BMC for way too many years .. Overhauled auto trans on Land Crab. 4 Times before it finally decided
to run the bearings in the motor ...Shame . Had a Mini got stopped because the battery had fallen through the boot floor and was dragging
on the road .. Good Times ... Went like a race car till it blew up...

I used to have a bug-eye many moons ago, purchased as a stripped out race car with a shorrock super charger, put it back to a road car went like stink for the 1970s but ate gear boxes.
