larry c's 1967 Austin-Healey Sprite
|
4th owner I believe
Came from back east to Rocklin CA around 2000, Owner Mr. Avery
Sold in 2007 to Chris Tower of Santa Rosa, CA.
I purchased the car 4/18/21, now in Cameron Park, CA
Unfortunately car was not well cared for but used a lot with quite a bit of abuse. Was in an accident in '08, rear end. Repaired by Solano Collision, have paperwork. Chris did have B210 transmission installed, provided by Rivergate. Previous to Chris' ownership car was fitted at one time with tube shocks but currently they are lever shocks, bracketry is still visible at rear end wheel wells.
Generator replaced with Mazda alternator, oil cooler added along with spin on filter. Positive to negative ground performed. Current condition of rear brakes non functional due to failed wheel cylinders, major oil leak at banjo fitting which I have recently repaired. Have plans to do full brake and lever shock replacement along with leaf springs. Will replace bearings in B210 transmission due to whine of counter shaft bearings on 1, 2 ,3 and 5th gears. Body chrome pitted, all rubber cracked, interior old and poorly fabricated. Wiring terrible but majority is working but will be replaced in toto. More to come....
