Cool thanks, was half expecting you to have posted pics of yours mate ;-)

Are you accusing me of being an attention whore?

Or just admitting I have a beautiful creation ;-)

St Tropez Esprit
 
Ah... that takes me back the St. Tropez Esprit in the background, early 80's had some great cars ...
Anyone remember the open top Countach with a Koning kit that was put out, I think by Mirage, I remember seeing it at stoneleigh on its release, that had the same type of effect on me. Must be something to do with wedges.

Hi gents, I haven't touched it recently but hoping to get a full week on it very soon

Hammy 18th August 2014 11:03

btw I've done a lot of reading and googling but if anyone has any top tips on how to strap / join the cut panels back together that would be great.

Paul L 22nd August 2014 17:50

Hammy - I assume you have read all the Tribute development threads?

As Chris and Dan are the experts at cutting things up and joining them back together. :cool:

Viatron, Swifty and myself have all been "cutting & shutting" our Cordite/Navigator bodyshells over on the Sammio/Ribble forum.

I've certainly learned a lot from others on this forum.

Good luck, Paul. :)

Hammy,I don't watch soap opera's but Paul L's build is fantastic..the trials and tribulations,the highs and lows ,happiness and tragedy of building a sammio

Beats telly anyday and you learn so much...of course the other guys threads are good as well.

One day I hope I can join in the fun.....

Danny_HUFC 23rd August 2014 08:27

Geoff's 250 SWB Replica Build thread will help you over in the Tribute section, the latest posts show how they widen arches etc.

Hammy 24th August 2014 15:54

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I know the tribute guys and have built one of their kits. I'll checkout the other suggested threads. Off this weekand weather permitting will get on with it

This "David Crocket "kit front on MX5 base has a lot of Europa influence...

Spotted this though to mate to the rear shell should look cool I think!

Also I have searched for the Davy Crockett kit but no joy, if anyone knows anything about it it would be much appreciated
