Another sammio spyder build

[Yorkshireman]

Well I thought I would start a new build thread as tidying the garage resulted in starting the sammio spyder. A few more detailed photos to follow.

Good luck, looks like you are nearly done. ;-)

Have you just put the body shell on to tidy up?



Or are you going to be building the Spyder and Alpha side by side?

Either way, good luck, Paul.

Barber and Paul thanks for the well wishes. The sammio was suppose to be a build over next year. But as I am waiting to start the Alpha I thought I would get the garage organised. I then got inspiration and started with the angle grinder and selling some of the donor car surplus parts.

So to answer your question Paul I do believe I have started both projects and will build them side by side. However I do have a date 30.07.2018 that the Alpha has to be ready for.

So next job is to bolt frame on to the chassis. So I guess the Sammio is taking the lead over the Alpha this week

Well Starting the Sammio project before the Alpha I thought I had better put up the Photos of starting with the Herald before I stripped it down and started with the grinder.

[Yorkshireman]

So after lots of looking at previous build threads and some beers. Out came the grinder the next morning. I am going to use the original floor trimmed down with some adjustments to fit the framework I managed to track down the same time I got the body last summer.

Result.

If your ‘support team’ look that happy cleaning an old Herald, you can’t go wrong.

Good luck, Paul.
