This is a 1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite that I bought a couple years ago. While some may think I'm a butcher, I've modified the car to accept an Rx7 rotary engine with a 5spd, shortened rx7 drive shaft, narrowed rx7 limited slip rear end, and 4 wheel disc brakes. I've also used the sprite pedals hooked to the Rx7 master cylinder and brake cylinder. Has a short throw shifter, wide mini-lites wheels/tires, rabbit radiator, EZ wiring harness, and rx7 oil cooler. Many other things here and there. Hope to have it in paint in 2006.
And yes, it moves faster than a fart in an elevator. It's only 1400lbs!!!

Hey man, nice sprite. Looks like it's coming along great! I was wondering what rims and tires you are running. If you could message me back or email me at jef83@msstate.edu that would be great!
