$250 takes it, if not, I am cutting the bonnet up and making a planter out of it.

It doesn't look bad---just no one in need of one right now. You have'nt got a spare corner to let it rust in for a while???
I know--- my wife says a spare parts shell has to go with spring cleaning.

I've got the pieces to patch that bonnet if you would like them?

I found another to use, so I have no need to fix this one up.

Found a good steel one from a local fellow. Apparently he has a factory supercharged Sebring Sprite, which I am looking forward to checking out.
The fiberglass one from Spridgetmania does not have the beading, and mounting it was going to be a challenge as there was no structure on the inside. Also, after talking to a buddy who does restorations, he urged me to go steel.

Hi- I live in Arizona and have a bugeye bonnet which needs some pieces (headlight buckets and mouth surround, and possibly the mounting hinge flange. If you do decide to cut it up and are willing to box and ship some pieces (I'd pay for shipping), I'd be interested. You can email me at ahealey1004 at yahoo dot com, or call me at 480-414-4042.

thanks!
Austin

Hey ahealey. The parts you want are the best parts for the planter! And I don't really want to cut up, box up, and ship.

I am interested I have been looking for a bonnet to modify for my Sprite project. I am in So Cal so I would need to figure out a time to get up to Chico. Let me know if you still have it.
