Time for an update methinks ....Thanks to Paul L's comment I ended up with a Sammio bodyshell . Hugh on here who literally had just acquired his body was a bit overwhelmed by the task ahead of him creating a frame etc and messaged me asking if I wanted to buy his bodyshell , a shortish trip to Axminster later and I have a body !
I have progressed somewhat to this stage ....
Whilst collecting the parts for this project and the presence of the D type project in the workshop , the creative juices have started to flow and I am keen to build something else , related but not related ...kind of !!
So my next step in this build was to do this .......
