This unique and meticulous restoration began with a jig welded Kilmartin Automotive Sheetmetal (KAS) chassis/frame directly imported from Australia. Every restoration needs a strong foundation! Original Austin Healey frames/chassis tend to rust from the inside out and to determine the structural soundness is costly and time consuming. KAS engineers not only improved the design of the stock frame but also the production techniques creates a far superior and stronger chassis. For example, the KAS chassis allows for tighter turning which is a delightful characteristic for the racetrack/hairpin turns and over all handling. Highly skilled metal craftsman refurbished body panels that exceeded original quality and contour. Original inner body panels that were not salvageable were replaced with KAS reproductions and conscientiously fitted including the floorboards and door sills. The door skins were kept steel to maintain structural strength and integrity. Mechanical parts including the engine rebuild were NOS sourced or the best reproductions available were used. The restoration's exceptional fit and paint was done by Midwest Rod and Custom, Lake Park, MN. The paint is base/clear version of the original ‘British Racing Green.’ Final mechanics, detailing and upholstery were done by Master Restorations, Minot ND. The transmission was rebuilt using NOS gears and synchros making smooth shifts with accurate 'feel good’ gates. Gauges were rebuilt/refurbished by a reputable technician. Final detailing includes chrome wire wheels and new tires that add to the overall WOW! factor. The interior is ‘honey tan’ leather from Moss Motors and new carpets, door panels, overdrive and soft top were also installed. This spectacular collector car exceeds show room quality and OEM specifications and will do nothing but climb in value for your dollar investment!
