Those scammers with the same profile pic as your one asking to be contacted on Telegram are doing that on like 10 different yt channels with different content. But the text from them is always the same
I Definitely want to see those cars running again! Especially because there are a ton of detailing yt channels out there and a lot of let's get this car running again yt channels but non of them do both on the same channel so... If you want to stand out here's your chance!
Yes on seeing you guys and getting more personality. Also, yes on trying to get things running. I love that you guys work to save these old pieces of art.
Since you asked, here is my humble opinion. You guys have a great chemistry together. I love these junkyard rescue vids. Something going from total loss to driving again. It would be nice to see a total restoration. A bit of welding and few new parts this car could be saved. I know that this involves extensive work and funds. It would be totally worth it seeing it drive again.
Where I live, the provincial government auto insurance is making it more difficult to get older cars on the road even if body sections were fixed by welding in new panels. They do not want to see any repairs on rocker panels. This takes a lot of older cars off the road.
Some 30 years ago, I restored a Frogeye Sprite that was not as far-gone as this one. They were cute cars, but the cost in both time and money usually cannot compensate the fact that they were very badly designed and made. Best thing to do with most cars like this is to do what's being done here. Clean up as far as you can to try to make what's left last a bit longer, but getting them to roadworthy condition is very likely to cost far too much - more than they are worth.
Great video and I love it when you do a before and after strip. I do enjoy when you explain each step more and the product used. It is good to see you try to get them going as well, everyone loves a "will it run".
The Volvo is an Amazon coupe made from 1950 to 1970. Came in a sedan, coupe and Wagon. That's a rare Volvo, and it looks in pretty good shape. That blue is amazing clean and shiny
@@tonisjolander6436 the hood similarities throw me off. After a Google you are right, both are beautiful and under appreciated classic, especially in the US.
Yes! Show updates on the cars as they progress in the stages of working. I love the detailing part but to see something run again after years of being ignored, is awesome!
We have a unique collection of classic vehicles, parts, tires, wheels, and utility tools available. You can check us out if you are looking for a car project/parts like this.
Great job on the detailing. I admire the work that you guys do so that is why i follow the channel. I like the new of of how you do your videos and i think you should continue. The car is far gone but with time, effort and money it can be brought back to life.
Personally, I love the "clean it up and get it running" vids. I'm into British cars so this one is especially fun! The engine in you car is an Austin "A" series 948cc 4 cylinder with dual SU carburators mated to a 4 speed transmission. That generation Sprite shared underpinnings with the MG midget, hence the resemblence to the Midget.
That is quite a natural evolution of your channel and content on it, where whe've got attached to your personalities as well alongside the detailing and restoration. My vote for keeping up on adding more of yourselves and making cars running in addition to detailing
The Sprite looks to be a MkII with a 948cc BMC 'A' series engine. My first car was one of these - it was not in the best condition, however I did replace the engine with a 1098cc tuned lump. Great memories and fun for a teenager!!
You asked about the engine: If it's early enough, it might be a 948. Or a 1098cc. Doubt it's a 1275 (these were later Sprites and MG Midgets--after 1966 or so). Engine bay looks original and complete! Whoever gets this car will have some nice parts. Or the British Motor Heritage makes body panels for these little British cars. Great video and good luck to whoever gets this diamond in the rough!
OMG!! I am so glad someone addressed this! Because there’s someone else that I follow on TH-cam and they have done the same thing. That same scammer is doing the same thing with someone else. I’m so glad you guys confirmed my suspicions. Now let me get back to watching you guys work your magic on this 1960s roadster. Because I truly hope you can.
I think it’s a real shame to junk a car, especially an extremely rare Austin Healy, as it’s history and numbers and identification are forever lost. Were the money available, a heritage bodyshell could have given the car a new lease of life, preserving its story and history for years to come. Failing that, new sills, floorpans, etc are easily available from the MG Owners club and many other suppliers.
I have total faith in the restoration of this little pup car. One which I would love to have as a retired 26 yr Navy Vet. Has been my dream car for years. Take care of the flooring and the rest will be ez peezy. Look forward to the restoration.
The actual fact that you do all this work and detailing for free is more than what anyone else on any channel is willing to do.. Because if you really think about it, detailing these old time cars from an era where they used to be popular is still better than nothing. The funds alone to try and restore these vehicles is not a cheap task. Because you'd have to do a lot of research on where to find the parts to even get these cars running. Since you don't see them on the road. So the fact you do the work in bringing life into them again with the TLC you give, is still amazing to watch.
Awesome video guys you can really tell how much passion are care you put into your restorations!! Your attention to detail and all the little steps you take to perfect the car don’t go unnoticed!!
I combined a 1960 and a 1964 midget to make one runner many years ago. Engines are like a fine watch. 4 speed tranny are a blast to shift. Lever shocks require more maintenance. Positive earth electrical system is a challenge. Loved it as an everyday runner a couple of years. I’d come and get it in a heartbeat.
I like having y'all in the videos. Most other youtubers just show the detailing. Yours is unique. And, you seem like good guys. I enjoy and look forward to each one.
Definitely seeing you guys in the videos is a big Plus. Showing what you're doing and how is another Plus. Love your videos, keep doing what you're doing...
Love seeing more of you guys and you sharing more of your personalities in your vids as well as the amazing transformations you do. Please keep up the great work and videos!
I love how you guys do your videos! As a detailer passionate about his work; you put out great camera angles that always amaze me on how clean the cars become. However the cars you do leave a lot of questions as to what is going to happen next to them so your cut scenes talking about the machanical/ functional aspects of the car are a huge bonus to me. Don’t change a thing and keep on making the videos this way.
I have seen worse than that brought back to being on the road! I really enjoy your videos! I have not been a long time subscriber! I do think your videos are great! I really like how y’all bring cars back to life from looking like roadkill
I would like to see you more. It is nice to see people working together without a lot of bad language. plus you give a lot of great tips on how to take care of your car.
Engine’s a BMC A-Series. 1275cc pushrod inline-4 with two SU carburetors. Wonderful little engines. I adore them. Nice Volvo PV544 at the beginning too! Another favorite of mine.
My parents have an antique alfa rameo spider lol. We gave up trying to restore it. There is so much to be done to it and not enough time. Its a beautiful piece of work. Hopefully one day someone will buy it and bring it back to life
I watch a varied group of You tube videos. The one common thread is the human aspect and how their passion and ability to translate it to us (viewers) is paramount, so yes, please continue.
My brother in law had one of these 30 years ago. We worked on it together sometimes. It’s just under 1000cc engine. The engine is so small that we could carry it, and the transmission bolted to it by ourselves, barefoot 😅. We put the engine and tranny in the car without a hoist. Great video as always. Thank you! 😊
Really enjoyed your video. i had one of these back in 1975 as my first car. it was half iron oxide and half body filler even then! But i loved it. It brought home many happy memories! Definitely involve showing yourselves in the video. People are always even more important than cars! Clifton
My wife and I like the format of your videos. When you guys include yourself it reminds me of the guys at my glass shop goofing off. Keep up the awesome videos.
Great to see you reclaiming a classic. I had 2 Austin Healey Sprites in the 1970's a Mk3 which had the windup windows and the Mk2 which had the sliding windows, which yours appears to be. The engine was a BMC 850CC green model I think. Loved those cars, be good for someone that is restoring one to get this car as parts are very hard to come by now.
It SO deserves to be saved! Patch it up and get it running then enjoy. Living in San Diego it's a quick trip across the border to Baja Mexico and the folks down there work wonders for an affordable price. All the parts are there other than the taillight lens!
These old car vids are ok but it would be nice to see a more modern car transformation. The vids with the customer reactions are the best. THERE'S LOTS OF OLDER PEOPLE AND SINGLE MOMS THAT DON'T HAVE THE TIME AND MONEY TO GET A CAR DONE. That's the vids that make a difference.
I'm not a Healey guy, and really don't know my way around the weaknesses of the later model Sprites, but superficially there's an awful lot of good metal there and with the right attitude and maybe more money than you'd ever get back, this could be a really fun restoration. The chrome looks remarkably good for a 50+ year car.
i love when you are joking around and talking while we see work being done. It is """ more fun"" funner"?? - you know what I mean. More enjoyable to watch, knowing you are having fun.
Love the way you guys make your vids. Yes, keep featuring yourselves & the commentary & the banter between you guys. Definitely makes it more personable, intimate & fun
Guys, just keep what you are doing with the new way of making the videos. Fantastic to see how something so badly abandoned can come back from the dead. Great work and keep it up 👍
I think you guys can restore this Austin Healy Spirit. My brother Karl had one in the 1960s. He had just graduated high school. He and another graduate were celebrating graduation & wrecked on a turn. He was pinned under the Sprite while the friend was thrown clear with few injuries. My brother suffered a head injury, hip & ankle injuries & was hospitalized for months with lifelong complications requiring many surgeries. My family was devastated. He eventually married & lived a comfortable life in Maryland. I have very fond & loving memories of my brother and of the Austin Healy also. He was so proud of it. It was red
It's great to see the guys in the video and showing what you are doing step by step.its also good to show what cleaning products you are using at which products are the best.
The fact it was out in the elements, it might be a goner. Someone with the experience to do a full rebuild might be able to bring it back. 😎 GREAT video guys.
Barn finds are gold because this thing had all the sun and rain. I'm surprised it didn't just break in half when they lifted it up. ( reminds me of my fiat spider)
In the UK.Worth around £2500 to £11000 for that year showing on the internet if running.Some fun doing this up for a very keen car enthusiasts.But will cost a mint doing it up.Good luck to who ever gets it.I remember seeing these driving around regular over here in the UK.I had a MG Midget.Great videos.Enjoy watching them and like seeing you all more.Good luck for the future.
That is actually a very rare model, it is a MK2 just after the frogeye sprite mk1 but before it had wind up windows in the mk3, I think it was built from 1961 to 1964 or there abouts, it is also retains most of the original parts including the rare 2 spoke steering wheel even the original twin SU air filter, it is definitely worth saving.
My father had a MGM sports car which I loved but it was going to cost quite a bit to ship over to Canada. One car Ive always appreciated was the Austin Healey, what a find. It needs some more tender loving care to bring it back to its glory days.
Lovely little car guys, in the UK this will definitely be up for grabs for a restoration project, very rare, the engine is running twin SU 45s. Same engine as the classic mini here in the UK however sightly made over to go faster. Those engines where also used in the triumph spitfire, Triumph Herald, bug eyed sprit and also the mini metro very reliable engine, you guys certainly made a silk purse out of a pigs ear there, well done
This would make a really cool 24 hours of lemons race car! See if you can make it run. With any luck the engine isn’t stuck, if it is that isn’t typically a show stopper. Pull the plugs now and start soaking the cylinders with ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil. Once it spins over, you only need spark and fuel. Good video!
Well… In my humble opinion, this would be the perfect car for a school project. From a technology stand point, these cars are very simply… you learn about all the different aspects of a engine, the chassis, as well as interior… and so on… any trade school with a strong HANDS ON Programm should have such a car 👍
The first sports car I ever drove was an MG Midget, the upgraded version of the Sprite. That would have been around the mid to late ‘60s. My buddy let me drive the car all day. What a blast!
You guys do amazing work. I like how you are more present and interactive in the videos. All you guys have fun personalities and it makes the videos more enjoyable to watch.
Awh man what a compliment! We have so much fun making these videos we figured we show all the goofing off we do. It’s great to see that people enjoy watching that. Thank you for making this possible for us !
I acquired a sprite in worse condition that this and had it fully restored to new condition. It is possible to do it as all parts are available. It just depends how far you are prepared to go and how much you are prepared to put into it. Usually it requires more than the current market value , but these are great fun cars and will be worth the effort. This body shell does look repairable. Inner and outer sills (rockers) are quite cheap, as are the floor pans and boot floor. The engine is a BMC A series and they are quite reliable units. It is definitely a viable restoration. There are repair panels for the wings all available from the MG Owners club or from Moss.
Am from the UK 🇬🇧 and 61 I had a Austin Healey in the 80s it needed a lot of work but wow so brilliant but a big smile 😊😊 on my face when driving it a fully Restored one could be worth about $60.000 so you should think about it before you give it away 😢 it would make good videos on restoring it 😮
My first car was a 64 Sprite I bought in 69. It was a ton of fun. Until winter. I'd love to see this back on the road. A good body man using a welder and sheet metal could do the job. Lots of money could put it back in running order. As far as the engine, it was about 1100 cc and close to 60 HP. The side draft carbs sucked. In more ways than one. It was actually a good engine for the light weight of the car, mine topped out at 86 MPH. Not quick or fast, but plenty fast for such a small, light car with an 18 year old kid at the wheel.
Brought back memories... I had a 1963 AH Sprite that actually spent more time in the shop than on the road. I think that the mechanic may have been taking me for a ride. Anyway, from what I remember, those Stromberg carburetors were very sensitive and frequently needed adjustment. While we did have a lot of fun driving it (when we could), we had much more fun after we traded it for a 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible.
I literally just bought one of these out of a closing salvage yard a few months back, sitting much the same way this one was, that was sitting there for 40 years. Same color and all. I'm saving that one, as it was a California car, that is close to rust free, and there's a lot of parts here I could use.
I got a black '62 AH Sprite for free that had been abandoned in a friend's yard. That was in 1973 so was only 11 years old and very solid. Any British car sitting out in the elements like this one was bound to be a junker.
Been watching your channel a year and a half or so now. Just really like the 2 of you, now 3, and the approach you have always had. Great that you got a shop now. Video and editing has changed a bit, most recently after the colab with the Florida guy, MAD detailing, and it’s real good. Barn finds are really popular these days, but any true revitalization of a car is interesting. Great progress and improvement overall with your channel. Many of your details have special and personal stories, and honestly, a real innovative thing to do with a channel like this would be follow-ups of the cars detailed. All of them, or as many as possible. I think you are on to something with the Volvo and the new guy. All these rescued cars you did, where did they go, and where are they now? That would be a truly unique channel if they all had follow-ups moving forward.
I love the way you guys make your videos now then before seeing when you pull the car to then working on it and showing little tricks is way better in my opinion
We’re in New Zealand and had exactly the same deal with this car’s cousin. We were give a 65 Mg Midget, abandoned for 16 years, if we could extract and restore it. Great project. Nearly complete. Very cool little cars.
Do you think we can save this & get it for free?!
Dont forget to like the video and subscribe!
Do you guys want to venture more into restoring cars after detailing them? Or it cost that much and do you need more time in the restoration?
Those scammers with the same profile pic as your one asking to be contacted on Telegram are doing that on like 10 different yt channels with different content. But the text from them is always the same
I Definitely want to see those cars running again! Especially because there are a ton of detailing yt channels out there and a lot of let's get this car running again yt channels but non of them do both on the same channel so... If you want to stand out here's your chance!
Do a video abt cleaning under the plastic flooring
Normal placement for the rear view mirror on a convertable that age.
Look at a Corvette from 1953 (first year) to 1962 for instance.
Yes on seeing you guys and getting more personality. Also, yes on trying to get things running. I love that you guys work to save these old pieces of art.
Agreed
Maybe so but the channel is geared toward teenagers...
Agree, Detailing and restoration all in one channel would break TH-cam.
NOT art, garbage.
Since you asked, here is my humble opinion. You guys have a great chemistry together. I love these junkyard rescue vids. Something going from total loss to driving again.

When my father was stationed in England after ww2 he bought a 1952 Austin Healy and he used to rally race in it, would love to have it now!

I am amazed at how good the chrome is after so long being exposed to the weather. True quality right there!
I'm not a Healey guy, and really don't know my way around the weaknesses of the later model Sprites, but superficially there's an awful lot of good metal there and with the right attitude and maybe more money than you'd ever get back, this could be a really fun restoration.

Yea, I like seeing you all working on the cars. Love your videos. Blessings to you and your families 🚗🥰🤗
It's amazing that the paint job restores as well as it does. Kudos to you guys and Austin-Healy for a solid paint job and restoration.
There is no car too far gone that can’t be brought back to life. That is A beautiful car and need just a little tender loves care.
1 mint into the video and I can't wait to see how it turns out 🚗
It’s always nice to see a person that works on the car and I do like your comments I think you should continue😊

My girlfriend father has a Austin Healey, all original, what a sweet little car.
That is actually a very rare model, it is a MK2 just after the frogeye sprite mk1 but before it had wind up windows in the mk3, I think it was built from 1961 to 1964 or there abouts, it is also retains most of the original parts including the rare 2 spoke steering wheel even the original twin SU air filter, it is definitely worth saving.
They don't seem to be to rare by my research, me and my dad own one we got for 15.5k and they seem to be going for like 25k
You guys are stars. I so enjoy watching these transformations!
Pingin lihat mobil ini berjalan👍👍👍 sukses selalu tim WD
I'm from indonesia 😊
My father had a MGM sports car which I loved but it was going to cost quite a bit to ship over to Canada. One car Ive always appreciated was the Austin Healey, what a find. It needs some more tender loving care to bring it back to its glory days.
Sure it wasn't a Warner Bros sports car?
Lovely little car guys, in the UK this will definitely be up for grabs for a restoration project, very rare, the engine is running twin SU 45s. Same engine as the classic mini here in the UK however sightly made over to go faster. Those engines where also used in the triumph spitfire, Triumph Herald, bug eyed sprit and also the mini metro very reliable engine, you guys certainly made a silk purse out of a pigs ear there, well done
This would make a really cool 24 hours of lemons race car! See if you can make it run. With any luck the engine isn’t stuck, if it is that isn’t typically a show stopper. Pull the plugs now and start soaking the cylinders with ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil. Once it spins over, you only need spark and fuel. Good video!
Well…
In my humble opinion, this would be the perfect car for a school project.
From a technology stand point, these cars are very simply… you learn about all the different aspects of a engine, the chassis, as well as interior… and so on… any trade school with a strong HANDS ON Programm should have such a car 👍
Personality is great, but content and technique is why I watch. Nothing personal. Really.
The first sports car I ever drove was an MG Midget, the upgraded version of the Sprite. That would have been around the mid to late ‘60s. My buddy let me drive the car all day. What a blast!
On my bucket list guys. At 80 what could be better Than that. You guys do great cleaning.
You guys do amazing work. I like how you are more present and interactive in the videos. All you guys have fun personalities and it makes the videos more enjoyable to watch.
Awh man what a compliment! We have so much fun making these videos we figured we show all the goofing off we do. It’s great to see that people enjoy watching that. Thank you for making this possible for us !
I acquired a sprite in worse condition that this and had it fully restored to new condition. It is possible to do it as all parts are available. It just depends how far you are prepared to go and how much you are prepared to put into it. Usually it requires more than the current market value , but these are great fun cars and will be worth the effort.
This body shell does look repairable. Inner and outer sills (rockers) are quite cheap, as are the floor pans and boot floor. The engine is a BMC A series and they are quite reliable units. It is definitely a viable restoration. There are repair panels for the wings all available from the MG Owners club or from Moss.
Just getting it to a clean state to be evaluated more closely is awesome! Thanks for the video!
We love seeing you guys in the videos and your fun interactions and personalities. Nice offset to the killer detailing. God bless!
Seeing you guys interacting and working, encourages.
Excellent product!! Always try to get the cars running. lovely little cars Healey Sprites.
Much better when you appear and explain different aspects of the detail process
Yeah getting these cars running will absolutely explode your viewership and engagement because you'll get a whole new audience.
Am from the UK 🇬🇧 and 61 I had a Austin Healey in the 80s it needed a lot of work but wow so brilliant but a big smile 😊😊 on my face when driving it a fully Restored one could be worth about $60.000 so you should think about it before you give it away 😢 it would make good videos on restoring it 😮
I personally like that you guys fix some stuff. Most detailers don’t go that extra step to make their finished product better.
Worthy of a full restoration, plus more of you guys, more of getting the cars going too.
You should be proud of your work. You all are Artists very talented and very gifted. And with that said you should be shown.👍
My first car was a 64 Sprite I bought in 69. It was a ton of fun. Until winter. I'd love to see this back on the road. A good body man using a welder and sheet metal could do the job. Lots of money could put it back in running order. As far as the engine, it was about 1100 cc and close to 60 HP. The side draft carbs sucked. In more ways than one. It was actually a good engine for the light weight of the car, mine topped out at 86 MPH. Not quick or fast, but plenty fast for such a small, light car with an 18 year old kid at the wheel.
Yes guys save this from another scrap collector save what you can great videos guys 👍👍🇬🇧
First time watching, balance between car work and your input is a great balance. Keep it up.
Brought back memories... I had a 1963 AH Sprite that actually spent more time in the shop than on the road. I think that the mechanic may have been taking me for a ride. Anyway, from what I remember, those Stromberg carburetors were very sensitive and frequently needed adjustment. While we did have a lot of fun driving it (when we could), we had much more fun after we traded it for a 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible.
Good to see you guys in it as well and getting the cars running.
Yes, I love the idea for you to get cars running too, great job
I literally just bought one of these out of a closing salvage yard a few months back, sitting much the same way this one was, that was sitting there for 40 years. Same color and all. I'm saving that one, as it was a California car, that is close to rust free, and there's a lot of parts here I could use.
I got a black '62 AH Sprite for free that had been abandoned in a friend's yard. That was in 1973 so was only 11 years old and very solid. Any British car sitting out in the elements like this one was bound to be a junker.
Been watching your channel a year and a half or so now. Just really like the 2 of you, now 3, and the approach you have always had. Great that you got a shop now. Video and editing has changed a bit, most recently after the colab with the Florida guy, MAD detailing, and it’s real good. Barn finds are really popular these days, but any true revitalization of a car is interesting. Great progress and improvement overall with your channel. Many of your details have special and personal stories, and honestly, a real innovative thing to do with a channel like this would be follow-ups of the cars detailed. All of them, or as many as possible. I think you are on to something with the Volvo and the new guy. All these rescued cars you did, where did they go, and where are they now? That would be a truly unique channel if they all had follow-ups moving forward.
That's a 1963 Sprite.... no roll up windows. A true British Roadster... I had 5 of them back in the 80's
I love the way you guys make your videos now then before seeing when you pull the car to then working on it and showing little tricks is way better in my opinion
Enjoy watching you guys bring back the beauty of these cars
We’re in New Zealand and had exactly the same deal with this car’s cousin. We were give a 65 Mg Midget, abandoned for 16 years, if we could extract and restore it. Great project. Nearly complete. Very cool little cars.
Detailing and make the cars running again is a great mix.
