April 2017:
Restoration was completed and the car has returned to her owner. The end product was a reliable Austin-Healey that will turn heads and win car shows. The color is very subtle, and when accented by the fantastic red interior, really draws your eye. The car runs and drives fantastic, and will be enjoyed for many more years to come.
