More Sprite Please

[@MrDunky48]

It’s this aspect of your mechanical life I find most interesting! More so than vehicles stuck in sand!

[@hrc5534]

Totally agree. More wrenching, less sand.

[@eggybreadplease]

More Sprite action please and definitely more old car videos 👍

[@hrc5534]

My favorite videos from you are like this one where you fix these old cars. Amazing skills. Hope to see more.

[@bladerunner6282]

me too. for some reason i find his straight-forward no frillls, matter-of-fact commentary very refreshing. none of that fake, high powered, over-the-top, youtube style banter that they all feel is so necessary. like Joe Friday used to say, "..just the facts ma'am..".

[@julianwinn4502]

Keep on working on this little gem!

[@jlwilliams]

This really makes me wish I were out in the garage fooling around with an old sports car. Feels like spring!

[@bladerunner6282]

i know i wouldn't get a decent night's sleep until i found some way to give that cooling system a thorough flushing. my god what a mess!

[@stephenricketts7764]

It was worth cleaning the old water pump just to see what it was like but sadly it was no good to keep as 'just in case' spare. Those parts are fairly easy to replace once you have freed up the old ones but I am glad you pointed out the 'pit falls' of replacing that hose. All great work Steve, I will look forward to the next episode on the barn sprite 3. 👍👍

[@4418CARLOU]

Great work.

[@tomk4199]

Always interested in the Sprites!

[@keithkrause3386]

Awesome, are you able to back flush the block? With all that crud in the pump it might be an idea. It'll be neat to see this one running.

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks

[@leondown6869]

Good to see you start with important stuff first...bonnet badge. More Sprite pls.

[@kenem1946]

😄

[@wgoconnor33]

Sprite !!!

[@mboykin6047]

A coolant flush is definitely in order judging by the gunk in the head.

[@graemelliott3942]

Steve this is my favorite style of video that you make! Keep ‘em coming 🎉

[@paulhall170]

More fun with 'cheap and cheerful' British design!!!

[@fepatton]

Can’t wait to see more of this car!

[@michaelstoliker971]

After seeing that munge in the water pump, I'd have the head off to check the passages in the head and block. Also, looking at the state of that generator you might want to think about an alternator conversion.

[@johnalexander5078]

Sir. I find these videos on your smaller older sports cars very very interesting. Seeing how you solve the problems and install the new parts is informative and fun to see. Also, your explanations are useful. How in the world did you learn all this?? I’m contemplating joining the local MGB club here, and seeing these videos encourages me/us. I don’t enjoy watching the mud derbies and wreckers, etc.

[@Topher5035]

Love the Sprites

[@robertoconnor279]

Yes!, more videos on this car!

[@janforward8784]

I would love to see more on the 6 sprites you bought, you make it seem all so easy👍👍

[@robinbennett6853]

Keep 'em coming! 🙂

[@secretsquirrel6124]

If you use a bending spring and a heat gun on straight hose pretty good bends can be formed into the hose

[@TL243]

Nice video. Someday you will do the blue mini truck.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Just got a notification that some of the parts I need finally shipped!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Steve :) also yes nice more videos on this Sprite car please and thank you! Very nice car for sure 👍 👌 👏 😀!

[@BoonesMountain]

Did you end up selling this Sprite? More videos like this please!!! Thanks Steve!! Keep up the great work you do fixing and making these videos! This is one of my favorite channels!

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Not yet send me an email and I will put you on the list of interested people.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that car is cool Peace out

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

There's no such thing as too much of this kind of thing!

[@craigwiest772]

Great video. Do you make house calls? 😂

[@kenem1946]

😀

[@dinsdalepiranah8759]

Love it.

[@diegoluisavolonta338]

Morning Steve, since you have Sprites, Midgets etc, I thought it would be a great video to do comparative test between one of those and you Fiat 850 convertible. Look forward to the test. Diego Volonta

[@redbank542]

More sprits and less shorts please 🙏

[@oldtanker4860]

What are the plans for this Sprite?

[@stephenricketts7764]

Steve said it will be for sale. I would send him an email if you are interested in buying it. 👍

[@breezeone3514]

Are any of your cars for sale….if so contact me..I drove mgs in the 70s also worked at a British car shop for 6 years Would love to own a MG or Sprite again

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

This one will be for sale when I am done, send me an email to get on the list.

[@Dog.soldier1950]

In most states signal lights must be amber or red

[@johna1160]

Never red in front. You have the option to install an amber coated bulb for use with a clear lens.
