@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.

Best body gaps I've seen. Nice job!

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

[@robertbrandywine]

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

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

[@ArgentPure]

I love it other than the 4X4 stance!

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.

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

[@marcusgrant6547]

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?

[@user-rb1gv6kc6j]

👍👍😀

lost all it's old car charm

[@SatnamSingh-er5hp]

How much it's cost for restoration

[@michaeltough2449]

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.
