1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite Here are a few pics of the car before we started restoration.
1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite this is another of the same...you can see a big rust spot and dent in the middle left of the pic. You can also see the cheap wheels.
1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite This is a pic of the interior that has gone to hell...The dash was custom made...They dont sell them.
1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite You can see what condition it is in... The paint is oxidized.
1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite Here is another pic of the wheel.
1960bugeye's 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite This is the engine... This will stay pretty much the same but maybe chromed valve covers and head. Also cromed dashpot covers on the SU carbs.

Pg. 1.........Before Restoration
Pg. 2.........During
Pg. 3.........Coming soon (finished)

In Germany we call them frogeye. But whatever the name is, I love these cars. Work on the engine and scare the ricer-kids!

That is pretty cool, looks like your doing a great job on it. I think you should cram a 327 small block in there, even with the stock motor, that car kicks ass! Keep up the good work!
