There is still a TON of work to do on it but it's mostly all cosmetic at this point, the mechanical shit is done. I had a blast and the thing runs like a champ. I wound it out a bit in 3rd gear a couple of times and took it on some nice twisty roads, the kind the damn thing was designed to drive on and the engine runs strong.
It's the first time since I have owned it that it ran the way it is supposed to and didn't either over heat or break down on me.
It cost me a shitload of money but it's worth every cent at this point.
For those not familiar with my 25 year long Love/Hate relationship with this fucker, it's a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite that I have driven less than 2500 miles since the day I bought it because it was always broke down.
Look up the word stubborn in the dictionary and you will see my picture.
Now it's tear the dash out, sanitize the wiring and paint it, get the gauges working, new carpets, new interior trim, recover the seats and repaint it, again.
If I'm lucky and The Good Lord is willing, I may actually finish this damn thing before I die.
