After a couple of weeks of driving the car around and seeing what works and what doesn't, I drove the car back to Joe's shop to work through a few issues. These range from minor (loose turn signal switch and some wiring) to relatively important (rock-hard brake pedal that requires smaller diameter master cylinder) to annoying (very difficult to open/close bonnet, rock spray front front tires) to performance related (need sway bars, intercooler ducting...). The plan is to work through these over the next couple of weeks and then get the car back on the road for the next round of shakedown. My hope is to take the car to its first autocross in January. Fingers crossed.
My new license plate arrived for the 1959 Austin Healey:
