Hi Guys...
I've been meaning to post this for a while now... just haven't had the time to.
The restoration is on the home stretch now, a 1967 Austin Healey Sprite MKIV.
I found her on Craigslist back in March, and have been working hard since.
Here's the link to the project:

Nice, your dad is going to be stoked! Hope my son does something like that for me one day. But he's in first grade, so I have some waiting to do :smile:

Oh I have, he was out we with yesterday with the ohms meter helping me test wiring. And he always has a wrench in his hand asking what he can do. He really is a mini-me! I told him that when the car is done in ten years he will be able to take girls on dates :smile:
