So I was watching the the latest episode of Reidus and Cletus and it made me think about my 1969 Austin Healey Sprite MKIV. She has been in my life for the last 7 years with almost no work done to her for the last 5. I have posted before about selling her, but she is the first car I ever bought and my first project. I worked on her hard for the first year and then went to college and have been working and living places without garages. So the last five years she has been sitting in my storage unit collecting dust, storing boxes of shit, and not getting worked on. I just really want to thank Clayton and Alex for reinvigorating my passion to finish her. Now just to find a garage... and que the music

Glad to hear! You can do it! You’d be amazed how much you can get done just chipping away at a project for 2 hrs every day.

Exactly. Just need to get a garage first. Which is really the hard part.

Good luck man! You can do it. Maybe we’ll have to come visit you for a rip once it’s done!

There are some good roads out here on the California Coast. Road trip up CA-1 to SF etc... That’d be fun. But then I’d have to do the same and come out to Maine and Canada. Good thing I have a passport.

This reminded me have you seen Top Gear Ground Force and Jeremy’s favorite tool for weeding the garden?
