Hey, Rick, I tripped across an ad yesterday about a BE hardtop for sale. I
don't think anybody would complain if you let the list know about it. I'd
bet somebody here may have an interest.

Subject: [Spridgets] What a FUN car!!!
I worked on my Sprite Friday - Monday.
The brakes and clutch are working, seats are bolted in, fuel pump wire
removed from dash switch and wired to ignition hot and then after figuring
out the choke on the Bugeye carbs I got it started up and running.
So I decided to give it a little shakedown cruise around the neighborhood
last night.
Even sitting low due to the wood bottom seats and having them bolted to the
floor and all the way back the steering wheel doesn't give me much room.
(I really need to lose some weight, or find a smaller steering wheel)
So I'm out there and there are a few corners and every time I go around one
to the right the drivers door opens up and all the while there's oil
dripping on my right knee and I discover I must have pulled a wire or two
loose under the dash because I've got no signals or anything on the dash
that works except the oil & water gauge and so I got it out there and
there's not a whole lot of throw to that clutch pedal but it works and I can
go through all the gears up and down and it runs real smooth but there's
this oil drip drip dripping on my right knee and the drivers door just
opened again and I haven't put seat belts in it yet and is that a cop behind
me???
I was laughing my a$$ by the time I got it home!!
I've got a few small adjustments to make and a few things to fix but - WHAT
A FUN LITTLE CAR!!!!!!!!
I like my 78 Midget - but this little red Sprite is way more fun!
