There are few things that add to the appearance of a British sports car more than chrome wire wheels. I chose not to mount the new chrome wires on the car until the last minute simply because I do not have time to polish them if they become dusty. But, I did have the spare tire mounted on one of the new wheels and fitted it in the trunk.
When Tim purchased the Healey, it was fitted with four new Michelin XZX 165 SR 15 tires complete with tire tread identification stickers...a rare find. We were fortunate to locate an exact copy of this tire from Coker Tire for the spare wheel.

We worked today buffing and polishing the body and installing the new carpeting. Photos will follow tomorrow.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
