Jon,
Welcome. Glad to have you here.
Sounds like you have a lot of missing parts...I would source a donor car if I were you (if you had the room)--much cheaper than buying all new (or used piece-by-piece, for that matter). 66' Sprites are pretty reasonable, I believe (although some may disagree).
As for hard to come by parts (there are some, esp for some earlier sprites)--check back here at that time. We all have "hidden gem sources"...

Hi, Jon. youll get lots of advice here. One more parts supplier that might come in handy is minimania.com. They have a lot more of the racier stuff there.

/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif Makes me think of my many rollover incidents in Minis when I was in England. Even when you know them upside down, don't you hate it when that happens? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif Plus I imagine spridgets are harder to turn back over, you would probably need 6 guys as compared with the usual 3 for a mini /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gifBugeye58 said:

Hey sorry I havn't been back to the forum. My first step in getting to work on the car was cleaning out of the garage from MANY of the small winter projects my dad and I had been working on.
Bugeye58; that would be great. I have never seen a complete car, so I am sure I will have a ton of questions, and if I am ever in need of some help, I will let you know!
I have a webpage for pictures, and as the restoration goes on, I will be taking pictures HOPEFULLY every day to show my progress. Depending on time, some days.. I may get a lot done, other days.. maybe not as much.
Here is the website that has the pictures of the Healey, along with other pictures of Misc. things lol.

This is the color that my uncle wants it painted as of right now /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif I really don't like it, and hopefully he changes his mind, but we'll see. Anyone else have pictures of any OTHER green Sprites you could post? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Well Check back to my website often, hopefully things will get done as quick as I'd like them to.
