Default Austin Healey










Some pics of the Healey I acquired from Jerry L. It started out as a blue and cream ragtop and he turned it into this. He also switched out the original motor; I switched out his motor and inserted a H&R Jack Rabbit. I like this particular motor for these cars because it has a little more pep and a lot more brake. I used the B-Nova adapter instead of the Ninco adapter:




The B-Nova has two pieces of 'plastic' (Delron?) which can be used on either end of the motor or stacked together like I have in the pic. I stacked it together to get weight closer to the rear wheels. I also moved the rear wheels in a tad so they don't stick out. Some people will assess penalty points if you're wheels extend beyond the car body - right Redlynr??!!!!

I like the Ninco Classics but wish they didn't cost so much.

I like it! May not be perfect, but totally has the right 'look' y'know?

Gotta love seeing pictures, on SCI!

Jer,
It really came out nice. It's cool to see one of my paint jobs on SCI and how nice it came out when you did all your nice workmanship.
