Austin Healey Sprite MK 1 Frogeye new home.

 After several months of being very busy selling our home and moving, then rebuilding it.

Changing jobs and Covid 19 the Frogeye as we have arrived at our new home.

Our last garage was big enough for one car and is where I had hours of fun doing the Sprite Mk3 and the Cooper S 1978. But I now have the luxury of a garage where I could probably squueeze in 3 sprites or 2 and still have place to work.

After having a new garage I thought time for a new work bench.

Got a cuboard given and had it filled in minutes, also thought that was a great place to store some gearboxes. My daughter thought they were UFO's ??? :-)

 Cracked on with the work bench and give the surface a coat of black paint before I fitted the vice  and started filling the tool board.

And finally a basic bench ready to be filled and used, the basics anyway.


Here is a pic of the sprite in its new home, already started struggling for room as we still have loads of other things still in the garage taking up valuable hobby place. ;-)



Just a quick look at what the car would look like with an outer sill fitted.


 And if I am still wondering so I thought fit a few outer panels just to equip me with a bit more motivation to start getting involved in the project.
