Great video David! Nice to have you in front of the camera rather than behind it.

Love your video of the BugEye! I am just finishing up a rebuild of the dash gauge cluster and switches on my 73 Midget. I also restructured the wire harness such that all the gauge lights are wired into two power blocks - one for +12VDC and one for ground that go to a single 2-pin (male) blade connector, then the warning and signal lights are wired into a single 9-pin (male) blade connector and the various switches (headlights, fan, brake pressure warning...etc) are wired into a second 9-pin (female) blade connector. The reason for alternating the gender of the 9-pin connectors is to prevent improperly connecting them to their mates which would lead to lots of smoke and, as all electrical engineers know, electrical devices run on smoke and when you let the smoke out, they stop working. 🤓 I wish I could show pics because it is much cleaner than the stock MG wire harness. Incidentally, I replaced every single light bulb including the headlights with LEDs. Cheers!

Love it - about to start the restore on a '59 Bugeye I picked up over the summer. Not a stranger to British cars, but these little guys have some unique (to me) features and this walkthrough was very helpful.

Great video but what about checking the coolant water level?
@bugeyeguydotcom

always a good idea! Most of the time, a coolant leak reveals itself through puddles or drips. And most of the time, these seek their own level, and will piss out the overflow when you fill them to the top.

Very amusing cars. However, there is little to gain with an engine swap and a 5 speed gearbox conversion with a single line braking system (scary). These things love oil it goes everywhere. Enjoy!

I owned one and left it with my girlfriend to sell when I was drafted to go to Vietnam. I would just love to find another bugeye Sprite now that my girlfriend and I have been married for 57 years and I'm 78 years old. I would trade a well-running 1996 Chevy Impala SS for one straight across.
