1960 Austin-Healey Sprite
Added on March 11 by wheelsmithy

The rustiest, Michigan State residing, Locked up, hinges not working, wrecked, almost gone example I could find. That way, zero guilt about cutting it up. Lifelong dream, starting to come to fruition. Tube framed, Japanese engined, Home-built British convertible.

I'm building the same thing as you! Except mine is a midget. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/reader-rides/591/ What motor/running gear are you going to use? Keep this up to date. I LOVE seeing people do silly things to old british iron.

Dragging my feet really bad on this. Acquiring parts, waiting for rearend to get Trutrac, and come back from narrowing. Bottom A-arms done, now for tops, and upper frame rails.
