Thanks man, I pumped that it's almost done. It's going on three years!!!

 

I was gone a long time ago.

 

Our sprite has been sitting in our garage for going on 16 years now. Still no motor inside..

 

16 years, man dust that thing off and toss a motor in that baby!

 

Working on rad hoses so I can fill up the fluids to support a start up. Turns out the rad hoses are a pain, lower hose and steering rack want to occupy the same spot. Also I had to abandon the nice pedestal E-fan and go with a pancake fan. While the pedestal fan fit, when I powered it up it rattled on the hood. The pancake gave me another inch to play with.

 

Getting there!

 

I feel like you've got plenty of cooling capacity. What's left to do on the body?

 

nice ride

 

Yeah, I told my dad about you're build and he says if the old austin healey engine doesn't work out we're going to put a rotary in it.


BTW>>> I noticed it looked like you don't have an OMP. I am wondering what mod you did. If you could send me a PM that would be awesome

 

The body just needs a once over, I finished all the major body work last year but I put a few dings in it since then.

 

Thanks man, I'm just waiting for the driveshaft to be completed and I'm ready to start it up! Good thing because it's getting crowded in there!

 

Well, all my hard work paid off, I got it running on the 2nd try! Still runns a bit ruff but I have not put a timing light on it and I don't have gages so I don't run it long. I'll post another vid and some more pics soon!

sounds good bro

 

Awesome!

 

It's alive!
Very nice!

 

Thanks guys, I'm working on the brake system today, now that it's running I'm motivated to get it on the road!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's a shot of the tranny install for Arggie, this should give you an Idea of where the shift ended up!

 

Looks like we are pretty much in the same location (my shifter is a little further forwards as I'm using a 12A tranny). I'm wondering how Brian Kraus was able to keep his at the stock location. Unfortunately he seems to have disappeared from the Interwebs.

 

Yeah that's is super nice but a bit more than I'm looking for. Good luck man and lets see some pictures!

 

Nice job! It fired right up, sounds like a match in heaven

 

Yeah Stu, I'm still stunned on how easy it was. But I have to thank YOU along with Jgrewe, Jeff20B, Ulltimatejay, Kentg, Drivefast, Argatoga, the whole VMRC crew, and many others. I was nice to get all my question and concerns answered no matter how big or small. I would have never got there without the help. I still have your wire diagram hanging in the carport, it worked perfectly! LOL

 

Congrats!!! Great Job!!!

 

Fantastic work. Now we need some burn out videos.

 

So...what color is it going to be?
