I really like the penultimate pic. It looks ready to go. Nice job.

Agree with comments above, black chassis and frame looks classy.

Moon rover stage looks good to go!

Looking bl**dy gorgeous. Getting lots of ideas for my Spyder build.
Keep it up.

i'd also be interested in those measurements, and also whether the "drop" at the rear takes the low bit lower than the bottom of the centre chassis rail, and if so by how much?

As if by magic, you can download the drawings for the floorpans from

Good job, congratulations !

tlrtone · #**151** 2nd September 2013, 19:05

The body arrived today...

Fits well, after cutting the slots for the rear outriggers and steering column. even the wheel arches seemed to line up.

but... my eagerness to get things done before the body arrived may have backfired a little as the battery access is now non-existent and the steering column needs to be about 50mm longer

Anyway, I will have a go at some of these bits over the next few days, and hopefully if the weather stays dry at the weekend, I might get it all bonded on!

rattler · #**152** 2nd September 2013, 19:37

I am envious have you cut the front springs looking really good dave r

christinedmc · #**153** 2nd September 2013, 19:48

Wow, it's a beast already. I like how the wheel fill up the arches. Agresive nose. I like it.

yes, I cut the front springs down by 70mm and not lowered the rear at all yet. I might get the 25mm lowering block for the rear - that should be enough..

I'm fond of the Miglia body, maybe for another project because I've to finish first my SAMMIO CHEVAUX !

Your built is very well done congratulations, don't hesitate to put pictures all over the construction witch help others builders !

davecymru · #**156** 3rd September 2013, 12:20

"seemed to line up" i'm sorry, that confuses me!

slartibartfast · #**157** 3rd September 2013, 20:06

Tony. You say you cut the springs ... ? not got round to that on my Sammio build yet, but was thinking of getting early Spitfire ones ..... is there any particular advantage in just cutting ...must have to be pretty acurate ... intrigued. let me know
BTW ... phoned your brother this evening & will drop the hub puller back soon. Hope we can meet up for a beer.
