Ok I'v just joined purely because I'v stumbled across the sammio kits this week.
I bought the Haynes book a while ago with the intention of building a locost type kit car..its not happened i sold my donor car earlier in the year but a friend has some cheap sierra parts going.. so as you do Iv started looking for a chassis again, long story short while searching on ebay i saw the spyder kit advertised, went to the website and I see the 550 kit.
I'm a VW nut but love anything classic, If i was to build a kit car id love a 550 obviously with links to vw and looking more like a real car, but I cant afford some rival kits hence the idea of a cheaper haynes derived kit and Iv never bothered looking too deeply at anything else, until now.
So i am hooked! Still got my van to finish and a bike project lined up but theres always room for more ;-)
Already hunting for a chassis and some donor parts which shouldnt be a problem, why is it i passed up a complete rolling chassis a few months ago! Always the way.
Iv got a splitty gearbox spare that should already have the diff the right way round IIRC
So..Is anyone building one of these themselves? Am really interested to know more and keen on building one!
I'v even been scribbling out some ideas for gear linkage this morning and I havnt even heard back from you guys yet about a kit!
