Finally road ready. It has been a journey getting the car back on the road. I still have a few things to do...as always the honey to do list never ends.

Well it has been awhile and I have finally applied color to the old Sprite. My wife chose Black Cherry Pearl for her car. Just sprayed it today. Now the task of putting everything back together again. Will post pics of completed car at a later date.

A quick pic of the front end. I need to buy another grill. This one is banged up. But that piece will have to wait til later.

Decided to make a steel filler panel to prevent potential break in.

I understand the factory tried the round wheel opening, but went back to the squared opening for strength.

Hello Norman,

I just simply like the looks of the round opening better. The quarters
was bashed up when I got the car and I had to weld in replacements.
After stepping back and looking at the squared I decided to make it look
the way I preferred.

I agree looks better, makes it easier to change tires to.

I dont like a green motor... Pic shows the installed alternator. The generator was junk. I have converted to negative ground and installed an aftermarket fuse block.
