I took some time today to dismantle some parts that I would like to restore this weekend with the help of my new toy, a shot blasting cabinet. I will remove all the paint and rust, and give a perfect key for a new primer coat and some black paint. The air filter housing, the pedal box assembly plus the master cylinder, and the pedal box cover.
This blog will describe my daily, lets say monthly, restoration project of an iconic car: an Austin Healey Sprite MK3 1965. It´s a nice, cute, little car. As said in many period magazines, it’s a "little sports men car". I will restore this car to its former glory, and will share it with all of you....

Some orders and some parts dismantling
I love arriving home and finding some big parcel has just arrive.... it's like Christmas time!!! last week I made some buying on ebay, and found an original MK2 and MK3 workshop manual. Getting hold of original manuals is cool, and it's a great add to those Autobook's or Haynes manuals we all have. I also found a new and original bonnet hinge, that of course I bought it immediately. Original parts are always best than reproductions made today...
