SAMMIO ALPHA now with doors

micky1mo 26 Mar 2018, 7:01pm
Finally after some delay the Sammio Alpha is now fitted with door shuts and doors.

Chris and Dan at Tribute Automotive have, again, done a excellent job of the modifications. :nod:
I still have to do some work on the hinges but I'm hoping I can incorporate what's left of the original Triumph Spitfire "A" post to help support the hinges!!







While I was in Poole I collected a few more bodies and projects.



So I think I'm going to be busy over the next few weeks :faint:

Mike - Are the doors an option?

Or will all future Alphas be built this way?

Just curious really.

Good luck with all of your builds, cheers, Paul. :)

Paul L Doors are a option.

The car was designed to be built without doors cutting down the build time and keeping the build as simple as possible. :happy:

Some builder will want doors and will also have the time, the ability and the skill to fit because right now there is no door "fitting kit" available. :eusa_silenced:

I am hoping over the next few weeks to design and supply a hinge system that bolts onto the original "A" post of the donor car. :icon_rolleyes:
