Best body gaps I've seen. Nice job!

Dad passed away aged 81 in January, I want to build one in his memory. Xx

My dad had one of those with a 1275 swap, he had it for 35 years and recently sold it, I hope I can buy it back some day because he really loved it

@12:47 That is a wonderful forward-tilt (@5:32) and latch (@10:21) mechanism. You need to make the plans available to the Bugeye/Frogeye world! Respect.

That is a beautiful restoration. I didn't realize this vehicle had a unibody.

What happened to the removable hard top? Very collectible and the best part.

Great restoration, ive always had a huge soft spot for sprites and other British motors of the age. I'm sot sure why, but I always assumed these were a fiberglass body, or atleast the front clam shell, but thinking of the age, I'm pretty sure the C1 corvette was the first fiberglass car.

I love it other than the 4X4 stance!

lost all it's old car charm

I am looking to restore a frog eye sprite, my Dad had one, in red, registration XXE 145, in 1958. Xx

Hello, just curious cause I’ve been interested in restoring a bugeye myself, how much did this beautiful restoration cost?.. just like an estimated cost would be helpful. Thanks

[@ronluckenbach9492]

I had my fair share of Bugeyes..will alway have a place in my heart for them. Did you also restore that rare Hard Top or just forgo it?

Great work but not a fan of that colour. Doesn't suit the car at all and makes it look like a fibreglass replica !

[@1983Beardo]

+1. Amazing restoration but you lost me with the colour. Looks odd to me.
