The finished engine bay , Nancy is nearly ready to growl and begin her adventures , only on sunny days though!
Nancy is slowly coming to life
Originally Colorado Red straight out of the Healey factory in 1960, then painted in mustard yellow with racing black stripes for her racing career in Philadelphia .
Now Nancy will become her classic most elegant and beautiful self.
Before we begin painting lets make sure all the panels lone up perfectly, much easier to tweak a millimetre before you fully spray.
