Miglia speedster german build

[mikmiglia]

Busy week , just sorting out new spray oven , and just sprayed this engine cover i have to make for a fomula 3000 race car.




I will update pictures on this build. My customer asked me to make him a masarati style Grill so i fitted this and i recone it changes the look of the car . I like this look .

Looking nice Mike.

I will pop in on Saturday if that is okay to have a look.

Love the grille.

[mikmiglia]

Im getting steel tommorow. your gear linkage is done too.

Sculptured grill is very classy

[mikmiglia]

Thanks , i think it give people more choice , i can get them polished or powder coated . We have got a powder coating shop two doors up from the workshop and they do a great job.

[mikmiglia]

The Miglia is a week away from the sprayshop now, just got to fit the front inner arches , plus the new screen .

Then its on to the next one , Tom wants a red car and then a green one for his wife.

Soooon.

That's a word a Jamaican receptionist used when we asked when the shower would be fixed in our Hotel room.

I'm not sure what it means but our shower wasn't fixed before we left Jamaica 14 years ago, and I suspect they're still telling guests that the man will come to fix it soooon.

I did a bit of sanding yesterday but I'm in the middle of a set of shifts which eats into car building time, plus it's blowing an absolute gale here today which turns my garage into a dust storm when I open the doors.

Will report on progress soooon.

[mikmiglia]

Lol, well be sure to tape up your garage door shuts and brush some water on the the floor , that will help with the dust kicking up with the airline and your feet. You can rent front someone like Brandon hire an extractor with a long hose so pass that through the window and tape around to seal around the edges ..

Mike - Looking good & the grille works well.

As always, I'd love to see more photos of your doors & hinges (inside & out).

I know your doors are more solid than the ones I am working with.

But it would be good to see working doors to give me something to aim at.

Cheers, Paul.

[mikmiglia]

Hi paul send me your doors , i then will send you my inner doors fitted for you and i will then mould you the door shut of my kit. You will have to fibre glass this into your body but at least it gives you a chance mate.

Now that's what I call customer service!

[Paul L]

Mike - Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it.

But I have got to at least "have a go" at my doors before getting the professionals to do it properly!

Cheers, Paul.

[mikmiglia]

Well paul , doors on any kit are a pig the best of times , so just keep at it and if you need a hand , give us a buzz

Paul. Please consider rearranging this well known phrase -

gift never mouth in horse a the look.

I know what I'd do if I wanted doors.

[froggyman]

I think that is a very generous offer from Mike and to be honest I think it will save you a lot of time and heartache. Guaranteed to work too. Think fast track!!!

[Paul L]

Mister Towed & Froggyman - Good points, well made.

PM to Mike send & thread hijack over.

Cheers, Paul.

[mikmiglia]

Mike

I tried to send a pm to you last week, i think it did not go. It said yes I would like the windscreen surround you have and did you have or could you make a boot lid for the G46
