Woohoo! :cheers:

There's just nothing like hearing an engine start up for the first time.
 
And it is indeed beautiful.

Wish I could do that, wish it was mine. sigh.
 
Sounds great! I expect those skinny tires are going to be smokin'. :devilgrin: :driving:
Again....KUDOS on an awesome job!
 
now I don't know if everyone has on their screen what I have on my screen, but, if you do, glance to the right under member's pictures to see the "twilight" picture of this Sprite - I might be a bit scared if that was smiling at me when I walked in the shop.

On the other hand, it is shortly going to be smiling at the cars it smokes - and that will be a sh*t eating grin.

Thanks, once I get the pre-silencer installed I'm hoping to smooth out the tone. I don't expect them tires to last long, I'll get some wider stuff once I get serious about the rear-end swap. For now it will be fun light'm up some.
 
It does look menacing!
 
Need some help, I have he original VIN plate but do not know where it was goes? I would like to mount it in the original position. Your help is greatly appreciated. VR Dave.

BTW the workmanship in this is astonishing!
 
....and notice they don't show it running...

down here thay'd call that wun rr'nt.

I'd rather the 20B three rotor model m'self.
 
Never have been impressed with that car myself, sure someone spent alot of time and money but I cann't think of anything it would be good for,

To short a wheel base for a drag car, to front heavy for auto cross, can see to drive on the street, plus don't know where the large gas tank is to support that gas sucker.

Plus that car should be putting out more than 500 HP, My built mustang with a one holley 650 carb puts out 455 hp, no blower
