kev's build

2 Oct 2012, 9:01am
Hi all, i've been lurking on the forum, getting tips for a while now, received my kit in august, just after andy took over. Had a few small problems, but the service provided by Andy to sort them has been first class. I'm doing an extended sammio, hopefully with a boot, steel mgf wheels to start. My progress is slow as i shattered my femur in febuary snowboarding-not yet healed. So far i have a running car, frame on body and bonnet trial fitted. pictures to follow when i figure out how to reduce size.

Welcome. Lots of pictures. I have just shattered my talus so my build progress has suddenly slowed. Even more reason for you to post pictures and keep me from getting too bored.

Hi Kev, welcome to the Sammio experience.

I'd recommend uploading your pictures to [url]www.photobucket.com[/url] as the easiest way to post them on the forum.

Looking forward to seeing your build progress.

Welcome Kev.

Like Mister Towed I use Photobucket for my build photos.

You will find other tips here...

- Practise uploading photos here

The more detail and photos you can add the better.

Good luck, Paul. :)

So is it going to be blue? Like the frame...

Hi gary, blue was the remnants of a tin of hammerite. Final colour to be decided but probably either old english white or British racing green. Steel Mgf wheels just arrived today, will paint silver, hopefully will give it a fifties look. Just fitted a solid steel 60mm lowering block to rear, and gaz adjustables to front to try to get stance right.
