Hello, we're new builders from Holland. (sorry for the bad English)
We followed some blogs and topics for a while and we registered us today.
I'm Jerome and I am building a Sammio with my dad. We've a English Vitesse as a donor car.
There is a lot of work done at the chassis, suspension and bulkhead. Most used parts are new.
We are building a Sammio Spyder with a Lancia style bonnet.
Here some pics of our project.
Some photos from Gary's place and our trip to England.
Here a link to another topic from us (in Dutch, more photos!

We fitted the body and had a lot of problems with the fitting shape (?)
The left side (seen from behind) is at the bulkhead 2 cm's longer than the right side. Our bonnet is at the right side 2cm longer (so no problem) But we've a problem. We have a very big gap between the body and the bonnet. I've seen a lot of pictures of other Sammio's and some gaps are very narrow. Is this filled with filler before painting or is our bonnet very bad in shape?
Here a pic of our gap (we,ve cut some pieces out to fit it like this..)
Another question is about the front springs:we've bought some lowered (1 inch)
springs and 'spax' absorbers (ride adjustable)but it still too high.
In Holland it is not allowed to cut the springs,so I need shorter springs.
Any options?
