    I found this car on Offer Up for $2k a few years ago. Had been in sitting in a barn since 1976. Former owner had replace engine with 1100 and disc brakes.

    New Frogeye project - the road may be bumpy

    Hi from Tasmania all. With the Sprite Mk2a almost fully restored it was time to think about the next project (of course!). I'm about to take possession of a rather butchered Frogeye but who could resist that (still) smiling face! Originality is sadly lacking here: Mitsubishi...
