New Sammio Alpha build

[Yorkshireman]

So busy week started with best intentions but rain stopped any out side photos fingers crossed for tomorrow.



So in between filling and sanding I made an attempt to throw out some rubbish.





Things were moving forward till the bathroom sprung a leak so after another unexpected house job I am trying to have a full day in garage tomorrow

Yorkshireman – Looks like you have been busy Dave.

I know that reshaping wheel arches and the bonnet is a pain that also takes a lot of time.

But I’m still amazed how all these changes can ‘disappear’ when you get to the body work stage.

I also know how difficult it is to keep things tidy.

Good luck, Paul.

Looking forward to seeing some profile pictures now the wheel arches are set-up.

Paul you are correct body work has been a big learning curve for me and you will see from photos still a lot to do.

Mike some photos of the arches but it’s still work in progress it could be a few months before I have them finished.

Back to the build it’s been a busy week. With house repairs Christmas preparations and offspring.

First thing was to move some spare parts and tidy garage. I came up with a plan to hid everything in th garden lock up as that won’t be used till the spring

So I managed to find a hour with a clear drive and no rain so took the chance to take some photos.

As you can see there is more work needed on front wheel arches to get the shape correct the backs now need blending in. The fronts I am now going to tie in with the original spitfire bonnet attaching a strip of steel similar to what mike did with his alpha build. Also I feel it’s time to add the correct wheels. That’s my next job to do.

So with that and an understanding wife and Christmas Eve I put the Alpha away.





So with that I wish all the forum members which are building cars, enjoy their completed cars or planning future builds a very Merry Christmas and a happy New year.
