    Description

    1966 Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 - No Reserve Project Car
    This is a nicely restored car that sustained rear fender damage when I accidentally ran one of my cars into the rear fender at very slow speed......it will require body work and paint to repair the damage
    This will be a great project for someone with restoration skills
    It has been sitting for a few years in its current condition, so I took it to a mechanic and had the following work completed. It will need other mechanical and electrical work performed on the car to make it fully operational. My goal was to get the car running.

    Frame alignment was checked per specs in Haynes manual. The mechanic found that the frame is out of alignment, so this will need to be repaired by the buyer
    Mechanic found previous rust repairs / weld repairs to the sub frame in several locations, the buyer will need to perform additional rust repair work.
    The engine was run for 15 minutes, reported good oil pressure and also maintained good operating temp

    New Information:
    I spoke with the mechanic that worked on my car this evening 7/12/2021, he told me that the frame misalignment is local to the rear passenger leaf spring mount (only) which appears to have been welded back in the wrong place when the car was restored by the previous owner. I have a few photographs taken of the undercarriage/ frame that I can share with anyone interested in seeing them.
    Please send a request via Ebay and I will forward the photographs to you
