Hi all, just a little about & my car. We (my girlfrend & I) brought a Frogeye last September. Found it on fleebay with 32 seconds till end of auction & bidding was at £2000. It was mot'd and on the road, 1275 engine, disks up front, fiberglass front & back end, looked OK.
We'd been looking for a Sprite for a little while & the dream would be a Frog, but never thought we'd be able to afford one. Well another slug of Glen somthing & for £2400 it was ours.
Next weekend drove it back from Bristol (60 miles) in pi**ing rain. Only problem I had was that I stomped a little hard on the foot dip switch, resulting on a spring passing my ear & no headlights. Great fun to drive though, if a little hairy as the car was a little (LOT) skitterish.
Since then I've started the re-build of the front end, as everything moved,wobbled,flexed & bounced.
The shopping list was basically everything. I've fitted new kingpins & bushes (made myself an alignment tool for the adjustable reemers). Polyurethane bushes in new wishbones, the shocks have been emptied & re-filled with 20W fork oil. New disks & caliper seal kit, etc etc. It's nearly ready. Just a question about fitting an anti-roll bar (see post elsewhere).
That's enough for now, seem to be worbling.
