Caught the Bug
Amateur engine rebuild on a Triumph Spitfire engine, I think. Amateur photo work as well. I wish it was this easy.
I used to have a Austin-Healy Sprite and the rebuild was pretty easy. Fun as hell little car, except in the winter. I always feared getting run over by a semi and not being found until the frozen slush semi's collect thawed out :beer:
Frogeye? I always wanted to restore one for the wife! Love em.
actually 2, 1960 Frogeye and 1971 Sprite, both fun as hell. I wish I hadn't been young and stupid when I owned them, I wouldn't have sold either.
doesn't take much HP to make them feel like you're driving a beast lol
All the ones I've found in the states are overpriced for the shape they're in I keep hoping the prices will drop.
When I found the Frogeye I paid $500 because the owner could never get the clutch/ brakes to work properly and his wife was tired of spending anymore money on it. I found out the reservoirs used natural rubber seals and required a specific fluid that wouldn't eat the natural rubber, a few hours later I was driving out of the storage yard what a great find it was. The 70's were so much fun being able to buy cheap imports, now a POS gets top dollar and they're usually in pieces and all rusted up!
Very cool video. Great find, thanks for sharing.
