1960 Austin Healey Sprite club racer

[Reeves Racing]

This is the Gunze Sangyo curbside kit of the Austin Healey Sprite.

I cut the hood loose and used some sheet shock to finish up the engine compartment.
I cut out the molded in engine underside and used a 289 from the parts box.
The wheels are from the newly re released Opel GT kit and the tires are from a Revell BMW 320i kit

The fenders got some bodywork to bring them out a little around the wheel openings.

Parts box decals and Duplicolor paint. The seat belt hardware came with the kit but I changed to red belt material.

Nice work Mitch, really like the wheels.

Very nice! and, without any SU carburetors to boot ... what more could you ask for? 

[Dominik]

like it! really really nice and a lot of work in that simple kit. Well done!

One thing catched my eyes...is it a spare-batterie in the passangerseat area? You have spent a lot of time on details and there are no cables

Great build!!!
