X Bob Weber Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite

Well-known member
Earlier this year I purchased Bob Weber's Austin Healey Sprite Rolling Chassis. My racing plans for this car have changed. I still feel this would be a killer car for Mid Ohio / Indy in GTL or Production trim. I have done nothing to the car since I purchased it from Bob. It is now located in Bailey, Colorado.
Below is the link for Bob's original posting with pictures & info. The only difference is I would prefer to keep the 6" wheels that came with the chassis.

It seems there are problems with the original link for the description of the Roller

I have the new description below:
