Success! Now it just needs a little cleanup, lights, ignition wire, speedo, brakes, and a hood....easy stuff! I see we're finally getting some subs to add up. Nice!!
Be careful of the gear lubes you use. Some older rear ends and transmissions had brass internals that would be corroded by EP lubes in the newer stuff. If it calls for a GL-1 some Harley Davidson bikes required this and you can get it at their dealerships. To shift properly they were designed for a certain level of friction that EP additives messed with.
My dad had a baby blue one. He used to tape up the hoses before we would go for a ride in it. He was a doctor, not a mechanic. Not sure why he never got it fixed.
No no no, don't allways sell your cars - this is a little gem, that should be taken out, when big lazy cars with enormous engines shall learn how to corner fast! In a hillclimb you will be faster than many newer cars, with way more power. Keep it, please!
So if necessity is the mother of invention, does that return spring washer rig make you the mother functioner? The Sprite might be old and funky engineering, but that engine and transmission sound so sexay.
One of my new favorite channels
I wish you all the best Josh. I’ll be here watching every video!!!
Nice to see it running! Also right on starting a channel Josh!
Anytime I went for a test drive after repairing my car, my dad always asked if I had a good pair of shoes and a bus pass.
Love the headlight.
Safety 3rd!
Nothing better than working on projects with friends. Great job.
Finally Josh holds the camera while JR works
That is a proper test drive!
Maiden voyages are a blast!
Glad you got it fixed. Really enjoying your channel. Looking forward to the next project
Congratulations! What a great milestone in this build.
Well done, congratulations. Now you have to get on that Falcon that JR helped you with all those episodes ago !
I've got to finish up another joint project first.
I don't know why, but I thought you 3 were brothers...LOL...man I love how that Healey is looking!
Another awesome video Josh! Can't wait for the next one. JR should of waited until you posted your first start Healey video.
Josh is the Good Guy Greg of Automotive youtubers.
The smile on your face and the shear happiness in your voice was pure joy. Well done 👍. Thanks for another great video.
That scrap piece of 2x6 is the world's most expensive JB mixing surface
🤣 and going up
Nothing like that moment when a project becomes a car.
It's a very cool car!
So awesome. No wonder these cars were so popular back in the day.
Awesome content!!!!!!! keep it coming.
awesome video keep this type of content I enjoyed it alot
There is no missing the pride coming through with the Healey moving on its own.
The only thought I have is to use non-ethanol gas in the long term.
Only thing I use in my vintage cars.
walmart usually has a dedicated pump for that

So sick, congrats.
That thing is cool as hell. "Fly-Fight-Win"
that little sod is ready to rock
It must be running Good Now judging by the Look of the Smiles on Yours & JR's face. 👍 👍
My brother’s AH Sprite was British Racing Green and sounded great with an Abarth muffler! Fun little cars!

Yep, old VW transaxles have that issue. GL5 will eat them up...
I found out the trans wants detergent free 30 weight and the rear wants a detergent free EP90.
Josh, nice job. Just found your channel and wondered if you have already sold it or have plans to. Enjoy your commentary very much.
7:34 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I’m dying

I’m a certified JB welder.
Blinker fluid?
You know, there's a reason why radio porn never took off. Turns out, people actually want to see the "dirty and wrong" stuff.
😁🤷♂️
Good work.
i see four existing holes on the top of the valve cover two of which are inline to the throttle, why not use one of them?

That's Roadkill. 👨🔧
Hey Josh, are those Bang & Olufsen speakers in your garage?
She looking up....
2:10 what's the diameter of a AA battery? :-)
Blinker fluid is low
Sad thing is, I’ve got a bunch of parts for these cars that’s going to scrap metal.
What is this car worth once sorted?

The correct spelling is "maiden".
Mayden? What's that?
