I haven't posted photos from the restoration of my Austin Healey in a while, so I thought I would catch everyone up to date. This week the car has been painted and buffing and cleaning should be completed by end of week. Next step is to begin putting it all back together.

Upholstery has been delivered (Heritage Upholstery & Trim) to include carpeting, interior panels, seats and trunk liner.

Numerous chrome pieces were replated rather than buying new pieces. Chrome work was done by Pot Metal Restoration and Plating in Tallahassee, Florida.

Hope to have it on the road by end of year.

Thanks for putting up the photos.
The Healey 3000 has always been one of my favorite sports cars.
In the 60's a friend of mine drove one, and the sound of that big 6 out the exhaust was music to my ears.
