1958 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite

1958(?) Austin Healey Bugeye sprite, bought with an SBC swap, unknown transmission and unknown (but definitely swapped) rear-end. Rusty and crusty, mistmatched, and on stock drum brakes in the front - a recipe for disaster. Targeted for GRM Challenge 2021.

Made it to the 2021 Challenge! Had a ton of help from a ton of people, but found the car was RAPIDLY overheating when running, and likely had either blown headgasket or cracked head. It received a roll bar, harness bar, and a makeshift seat. Shifter got bolted down, gas pedal created, brake pedal modified, and a radiator support added. Looked to be 350/350 drivetrain with a 50's truck rear axle, narrowed, and very tall gear. Sold it to Stampie.
