Wow wow wow I visited beverly hills club in LA many times but was always afraid of buying car from their showroom as most of the time the car I want would be like your car status. You are an inspiration and love your work and eye for details You should start restoration garage and i will be your first customer

[@matthewcurtis2579]

real dedication and a strong eye for detail

[@flyingdutchman44]

Thanks for the detailed commentary and reference to other people that have been involved, it becomes a great resource on future restorations. My Mk2 3.8 jaguar is on the road ,so looking for another project soon.

Great video, and resource for top line restoration.

[@crashas1515]

Absolutely beautiful. I had a 1955 Healey with 3speed transmission and electric overdrive. I was stationed in Key West, Florida with the Navy in 1959 to 1963. Drove the Healey home to Boca 2-3 times a month. Great little car. Being in south Florida I rarely put the top up. Good luck with your car. dr john

Great job, I'm really impressed. I love the commentary. It makes me think that the effort is extraordinary, but not super human. Even mortals could do this with your dedication and eye for detail and perfection.

[@roselh1]

Yes. You are a detail enthusiast! Great work and major progress.

This is a fantastic recap, it is truly wonderful to watch someone restore a car with such integrity and in such detail. I came here through Richard Owen and I have really loved watching his restoration series. Would you ever consider creating a detailed restoration series as he does? I realise it would take a tremendous amount of additional work creating the videos on top of the restoration work and I couldn't even guarantee that KZbin would make it worth your effort but I certainly would watch every episode.

Incredible attention to detail. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@luegolover355]

Wonderful work and I am sure a wonderful car, well done.

Geoff, purchased a BN2 basket case 10 years ago and asked your father what he thought of the Jule replacement chassis. He told me not only no, but hell no! Anyway, I purchased a frame and interior metal parts from Kilmartin and they were perfect. Really enjoyed your video. A lot of topics really hit home. Restoration progress is slow, but not giving up! Cheers, Bill Denning

Love the process and the fidelity to the original. I bet you can’t wait to get it back together to see how a brand new Austin Healey drives!

[@esbennielsen5444]

Excellent work!

[@FeeeshEP3]

Amazing work Geoff!

[@edrosa5079]

Awesome and very detailed i have a long road ahead as I was given a 1968 Austin Healey for my birthday,by my son it did have a 600 ninja motor installed and although i have not done much do to health reasons i am hoping try and get it going soon i did find a motor and trans mission and it is bare inside at the moment i do have a wiring harness kit and will attempt to do that soon,as a rebuilt one was out of the budget but i do have an old one

[@T5BEST]

Superb job. Been following your channel for a few weeks now, and i'm impressed by all the details to the orginal condition / choices you made. Is inspiring for the BN1 we are rebuilding at the moment. A link to all the retailer/solutions you apply on your rebuild would be fantastic. Great job. Regards from France.

[@dgadver]

Beeeeeeee-utiful!!!!!!

[@toddmarks581]

Wow

[@dougsmith9687]

Hey Geoff, Just found your Healey 100 BN1 restoration recap. Brilliant job! How can I find the final paint job and full reassemble video, if there is such a gem? Cheers, from Downunder Doug, your crazy Healey nut in Australia. BTW I owned a bug-eyed Austin Healey Sprite, followed by a Triumph TR4A (IRS), the first with the independent rear suspension. Great cars, but kinda shy of my dream BN2 Healey.

"music" TOTALY" annoying. Love the content!

[@Davyfb75]

What a wreck

[@stevesutton1991]

Better without the crappy background noise

[@arthurbliss1013]

My first car was an Austin Healey 100/6. My age kept me from enjoying the rolling narrative. The white noise of the stupid background music overwhelms old ears. I would like to find a way to filter out that idiocy so I can enjoy the details.
