She's a little rough around the edges but complete. I'm in the process of restoring her. You have inspired me to start working on her again. Reading your threads just gave me a lot more motivation. Thank you and keep up the great work!!

Awesome Sprite, I've been itching to do one with a Honda s2000 drivetrain. Bummer on the back, I had laser spine surgery 2 years ago. Finally reached the point I couldn't work so I had to do something about it. I have to limit what I lift to about forty pounds max but I've been good since, knock on wood.
