Vehicle Description

This is My 5 Year Project Car

My Sprite has Been Stripped clear down to bare metal. Floor, inner and outer sills, quarter panels, door columns, and bottom of doors replaced with new replacement  parts from Moss Motors. When finished  the interior area and bottom of car was coated with truck bed liner coating. Once body work was completed we had her primed, and painted. While this was being done I sent the engine to Sperry Engines to be rebuilt. The motor is the 948 cc, complete rebuild including water pump, fuel pump and rebuild on the generator. In the next months I Replaced all the front end parts, quarter eliptical springs, tapered Wheel Bearing kits, coil springs Drum brakes in rear, and disk brakes in front. the rack and pinion steering was tight and did nothing there. new lever shocks all around as well as new master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.
