Hello spridgets,

      who would have expected this? its mid october and the rains have
      yet to arrive in Western Washington! with it sooo sunny albiet
      cold (in the mornings) i just HAVE to drive the sprite. you all
      know the feeling. but i haven't had a heater in the "red thing"
      since i bought it. case cracked, mounting bolts loose or
      missing, not connector hoses for either the air or the
      water....so i took the day off friday and PUT IN THE HEATER!
      still no air hose to the front of the car, but since i have the
      exhaust leak at the manifold "under control" that's no big deal.
      used electrical tape to seal between the blower and the heater
      box, put in a switch, got the water hoses working and made a
      "bolt cable clamp" for the damper wire. I HAVE HEAT and
      DEFROSTERS! the last electrical thing to fix is that darn gas
      gauge.

      let's see.. since i bought the car i have fixed the wiring to
      the headlights, (since burned out the low beam wires :-(, gonna
      have to fix THAT this winter) got the turn signals working, the
      lisence plate light, the wipers (the motor for that wasn't even
      IN the car!!) the dash lights, the tach, the speedo, the brake
      lights, (at every single wire junction! including the switch)
      the horn and now the heater! but then, i AM and electrician.

      its getting to be almost like a REAL CAR!!!!

      happy motoring!
