2021 in Bugeye Photos

by

This is still a vacation week for some of our team but we wanted to make sure we still put some Bugeye in your mailbox this weekend. 

Below is a video of some of our favorite cars that we shipped to new homes in 2021. 41 people adopted Bugeyes in 2021, bringing our total to 339 sold! This makes 41 Bugeyes that went through our transformation process and hopefully 2022 will be the year you take one home too! 

Thanks so much for participating in our growth and evolution and we look forward to a spectacular 2022!

Be kind to your oil pan

by

They get no respect. Water inevitably gets in your engine oil and sits on the sheet metal under the oil. Hard to believe that such a well-lubricated tray could rust from above, but the water sits below the oil and does the damage. (Remember, you need to change your oil at least once per year to get the water and sludge out. Even though you add quarts of oil through the season, you still have to change it.)

Keeping up with the Joneses

by

The 948 Sprite engine is a delightful little powerplant, and it works just fine for noodling around country roads, or for running up to the grocery store, or for taking the long way home. But it was designed in an era where there was no such thing as a 500 horsepower new car that you could buy from the local car dealer. It was designed when the everyday bloke had some free time, and didn’t have to rush home to check his instagram account. It was designed during a moment in history when 46 horsepower worked just fine.

0 days since broken British car parts

With supply chain issues and pandemic closures, it sometimes feels like the world is broken right now. But we had a jump on everyone else… British classic car world was broken long before the pandemic arrived. Our day is spent with broken things, and our job is to figure out efficient ways to keep everything moving forward nonetheless.

Bugeye Swan

by

I call this display our Rusty Swan Manifesto. 

These are quarter elliptical springs from Greg’s Bugeye, which, as you might remember from last week’s post, were found to be sagging and rusty. Here’s how they look on the floor once Terry extracted them. One great way to make peace with messes like these is to call them art.

We cleaned out the spring pockets, rust-proofed them and loaded in new springs and shims. The photos below show the result. The available springs are all too tall but our wedges fix that issue, so Greg’s car now looks and rides right!
