1966 Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 Description

I bought it in Nov 2014 online. Took a huge bet on it. When I received it, I had to replace the clutch (Heat sealed the under-car), exhaust, replace the generator with an alternator (new Alternator looks like an old generator), flipped the polarity and installed an electric fan.
I also changed the original green carpets with a black one as I liked the contrast better & put some heat shields underneath the carpet all around the car.
A year later or so, I decided to upgrade the headers & wrap them, upgraded the distributor, coil, sparkplugs and cables.. I might forget a few things.
I'm selling it because I wrecked a car on the racetrack and need the money to fix it.
Conditions:
It's in FAIR to GOOD condition. Hagerty says GOOD average around $78k, and FAIR go around $48k.
I've been driving it once or twice a week to and from work for the past 4 years.
It's an old British car so it leaks like an old British car (small 15in wide oil puddle). They say about British cars: "If it leaks, means there's oil!"
It has some surface rust (most of it can still be cleaned off), but no rust underneath, no holes.
Hood needs to be repainted and welded.
