SPRINT RESURRECTION

[alfadave]

Bought 20 fags when I was 14.
Smoked the lot one evening.

Turned the colour of AOG's Sprint.

Never smoked anything since!

Good way to put a young potential smoker off.

I agree with Tim you’ve done such a splendid job on the car so far IMHO the later “Wrong” seats will really spoil it and again IMHO the original seats when refreshed are actually much more comfortable than the later ones

Thanks a lot, another challenge

Given the car is green, I'm guessing the seats should be either brown (camel) or that yellowish colour. I think I can forget the early check pattern. Anyone other than John got any? Happy to do a barter deal, the material to recover the GC seats wasn't cheap!

In other news, here is a picture of the crankshaft & the rear main journal. Two of the pistons are scored on one side as per picture, might be useable with new rings. The Gudgeon pins are an interference fit in the pistons & I can't see any wear.

The conrod little ends are allegedly slightly worn, but I don't know what that means. Before I scrap these items, they are free to a good home. Collection preferred esp the crank due weight. I'll also list in the parts for sale section.
