You're in the right place. Look to the posts from DavidApp. He's one who has posted progress through a rebuild quite well.

Good luck, and don't get discouraged!

Thanks I'll look into those posts

Fight the good fight, and we'll hep any way we can. Lots of knowledge around here.

I was a complete novice with my '69 Sprite. The BCF Community is VERY helpful. I've performed repairs and fixes on my Sprite that I never would have dreamed that I could ever do.

Thanks to all of you. I’m not a novice at this I’ve restored 8 British cars but never an “A” pillar. This car has been sitting 20 years and will probably be my last. I’m 68 now and this one should take me a year or two to do. Now a days there’s video’s. I’m searching you tube now and will do all the work myself. I’ll keep you posted.

With eight priors, just consider it a refresher course!

And take/post photos of the project? You're another of the "instructors" here. Folks who fear to tread will thank you!!!
