Healey Customer Restorations

Hello Greg,

The most important thing about your panels is that they actually fit very, very well. My body shop that did the work was more than happy with them.

Great job! If I ever have another Healey, you are my only source.

Many thanks and Best Regards, Tadek

Hi Greg,

I think that Bart is doing a great job in distributing your parts and he is very helpful and friendly too. It is much more convenient now when Bart is stocking your parts here in Europe.

Last but not least it is very satisfying to work with your parts as they fit very well and it is obvious that they are made by people who care and understand these cars. Just that you go to the lengths to produce parts for the very first 50 cars shows your dedication.

Best regards, Magnus Karlsson

Greetings; We have over 500 pictures of the restoration of this car which took about 18 months. Many Kilmartin parts were used including the front frame section.

Car is now almost done and we will send pics of the finished product when it leaves the shop. Please ask any questions for clarification.

All the best, Tom

Greg, thanks for the info on your parts and availability and the quick reply. Please see the attached photos of my 1962 Austin Healey BT7 chassis work that my good friend George Oberlander and I recently did using KAS panels.

Your panels are great and made this job much easier as result of the quality fit of these excellent panels. I was very impressed at how rigid the chassis was when completed.

We used over 18 KAS panels to complete the inner body shell. Although the main chassis was not rusted, a 1/8 inch thick steel plate was used to reinforce both outside main chassis rails between the front and rear outriggers in an effort to add rigidity to the completed assembly.

Thanks again for all you guys do to keep this hobby alive and allow these chassis to be brought back to life. You make this even more fun! Sincerely, Anthony Suozzo, Harrison, New York, USA

My BN4 chassis number 76762 came to me from Arizona and via The Healey Factory. She was built on February 11th, 1959 and left the Abingdon factory in black paint with red trim, overdrive, heater and fast road tyres.

I am, and always have been, an ardent amateur restorer and I will have a go at almost anything. This is a wonderful hobby. Time consuming? Yes. Expensive? Sometimes. Rewarding? Always.

The car turned out to be a good buy. The dry Arizona air, while depositing a great deal of dust inside the chassis, had also protected it. Of course the sills, bottom of the A and B pillars, floors and boot floor needed replacing.

Armed with my domestic and trusty MIG, and a quantity of replacement panels from Kilmartin's emporium, I set about losing blood. The work progressed well. Greg and John, as you know, your panels fit beautifully and make the work of the amateur and professional restorer alike, a joy, almost!

I am very happy with the progress so far and can't wait to start on the body panels.
