JME Healeys have just posted a photo story showing the transformation of a decrepit 1968 BJ8



into a rather stunning Race / Rally car tribute.

Looking closely at the pictures there are numerous modifications present, on each picture !!! and it has all been done to a very high standard.

Agreed,

p.s. did you spot the original part?

I think there may have been two !!!!!

The grill (assuming that the original one was re-plated) and not just used for the fit-out



But in the photo below, look at the wing hold bracket in the top right.   It is the only bit of metal where you can see the underlying ravages of (ex) rust, painted over.  For such a small piece of pretty easily fabricated metal work, you wonder why it was kept.
