Austin Healey Restoration New Austin Healey chassis and bodyshells are currently available to order for all 4 seater models from BN4 to BJ8, including drop down rear 'BN8' cars. Bodyshells for the 100/4 will be available in late 2008. For competition modifications to any of our chassis and bodyshells, or 2 seater models, please contact us for further information and prices. The Northern Healey Centre has been restoring Austin Healeys to Concours standards for more than 20 years. We also have a considerable knowledge and background in engineering and manufacturing, and are now producing new Healey chassis for all Big Healey models from 100/4 to late 3000 drop chassis.
Austin Healey Restoration Big Healeys now range from 40 to over 50 years old, of which quite a number are now getting to a point where it is no longer sensible to restore the car using its original chassis either because of corrosion or previous accident damage. We have taken the decision to produce a new Healey chassis as we have found that as time has progressed the strength and integrity of he original chassis have deteriorated. The original Austin Healey chassis gets to a point where it is no longer desirable or economically viable to carry out the extensive repairs necessary to return your old Austin Healey chassis to its former strength and condition.
Austin Healey Restoration All or Austin Healey chassis and bodyshells are hand built here on site in our own workshops. The Northern Healey Centre do not manufacture chassis for anybody else. Our policy is to follow the original method of manufacture throughout the production of component parts and their assembly to full chassis. The full length chassis rail halves have been formed on a 600 tonne press using our own solid steel tooling which accurately forms the sharp detail producing a high quality part. Each chassis rail is assembled from two full length pressed rail halves which are then aligned and welded together along the seams on the top and bottom of the rails as per the original manufacture.
Healey Restoration Each of our Healey chassis and Healey Bodyshells are hand built with quality and attention to detail our priority. Every chassis and bodyshell is individually numbered and supplied with a certificate to confirm that your new chassis is an authentic British manufactured product. The completed chassis is blasted using a low pressure high volume steel shot to provide a key on the surface of the metal for the application of zinc. The zinc is solid metal, powdered to a micron particle size, suspended in a two pack paint material. The amount of zinc applied to each chassis is approximately 3kg. The original use of this product is for the protection of the steel used on oil production platforms in the North Sea. The zinc is effective at a coating of 20 microns and it has a cathodic effect.
Austin Healey Restoration This means that if the surface material is scratched or chipped to the base metal, then the chemical bond of the zinc to the metal will not permit surface rust to travel under the surface of the primer, so any damage is contained to that point.

Visitors are always welcome at The Northern Healey Centre.

We would be delighted to show you the facilities in our workshops. Engineers and mechanics have difficulty being economical with the truth, that is why we do not employ salesmen or middlemen. If you are looking for bulls**t then you will find it in a farmyard! At The Northern Healey Centre you will only find Austin Healeys being manufactured.
