Our Little Sprite

14 years ago I bought a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite from the proverbial barn. After a year of my neglect (good intentions, little time) I sold it to a coworker. After 12 years of his neglect (same intentions, same limitations) I brought the little car back into the family fold last winter.

1964 AH Sprite

The intention was for it to be a project for Meagan and I. Well, if anyone has less free time then I do, I suppose it is a Junior honor student who plays softball, volleyball, and participates in virtually every scholastic program imaginable. Suffice to say Meagan hasn’t done much to this point other than pick out colors :-)

Nevertheless, progress has indeed been made! After putzing around with the car for the last couple of months with my dear friend John, the little beast ran last night! No, it won’t be on the road anytime very soon. The purpose of getting it running was to make sure the engine was solid (it is), and now it will be coming out of the car to allow for a more comprehensive clean-up, repair and paint.

I’ll keep progress posted here
