Clive Hencher's 1958 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite
|
largely original Aug58 Frogeye. Was rebuilt (bare metal) by Classic car restorers in 98/00 after being found in garage where it had been for over 10yrs following a roll in a field. All metal panels incl. bonnet. Additional parts incl. brake servo, electric fuel pump, 2 stud and slot w/screen. Have bought new Hood & Tonneau and refurbished s/screens. Head gasket replaced and carbs refurbed. Rear end (wing tops) rust treated and back end resprayed. Bonnet and remainder of body panels to be treated and painted this winter together with wheels. Some chrome needs re-chroming.
Interior and seats need a refurb too.
I use it most days from Apr-Oct when the weather is kind. I also do Tulip road tours and grass auto-tests in it.
Looking to possibly install a s/charger on a second engine if I can get one at the right price.
