Stop turning us builders green with envy. They look great and are an inspiration on cold and wet nights in the garage/workshop.

Cheers Phil, Brockwells did a great job on them with a really fast turn-round time, thanks for the recommendation.

Quick question for you Phil - what filler do you use for the final finishing process before paint? Everything I've tried so far is a bit too coarse, leaving pin-hole voids here and there.

Cars look fantastic as usual, Phil. Video is good too, especially the overtake. Awesome soundtrack, might have to replace my standard stainless back-box with something a little rortier...

Will it be road legal or pure race car?

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress. Give me a shout if you need a hand shifting stuff, I'm only up the road after all.

As for the motor, I'm sure I've seen a 2500 bored out to 2.7 on triple webers fitted to a Spitfire when I picked up my donor. Worth researching...

Oh, and I love the idea of a black one.

Mister Towed · #20 31st December 2012, 09:32

Nice to hear that you've got your next engine running Phil. Any performance modifications on this one?

My car's nearly there now, just a bit of fettling and the paint to go on and it'll be finished. Weather and work have held up progress over the Christmas period, but I'll crack on with renewed enthusiasm in January.

Loved the Ferrari 500trc clip, great sound track!

Also like the fact it's got a bigger scoop than mine, and was intrigued by all the locking pins and vents along the back edge of the bonnet. I guess Ferrari had the same problem of the bonnet lifting at speed as Sammios tend to have. I might just add a couple of vents to the back of mine...

Anyway, Happy New Year Phil, and I'll see you soon.
