Ello ,
Had a bit of an itch for a while now (not that sort of itch !!)
The mini itch, been keeping my eye on a few, now found one about 20 miles away
Thought right pop over have a look / drive see all the rust and how bad it drives that'll be it out of me system
Well left a deposit picking it up Saturday ...
94 sprite that had very little rust and drove surprisingly well
Plan on some nice exhaust & some 10x6 wheels (7.5 discs) not sure wether to go miniators or Cosmic's ?
Can't find hardly any pics of silver cars with 10 inch rims .....
Anyhow I'll get some pics on when I get it ...

Welcome. My guess is, photos this week, start replacing parts and find rust spots, these will eat at you like rust at a mini so decide to do restoration within next month or two. Ha ha ha it’s just the way it goes.

Good luck with the Sprite

Once you scratch, you can't stop! 😎

There are the 1100specials that are mainly grey with 10s but usually steel with hubcaps...

The 1100 special came with alloys from the factory
