Miglia Spitfire Photos

[davecymru]

While i like my Miglia kit quite a lot and It's no secret that i get on with Mike, TBH I gave up on my Grill and Headrest and decided to make my own!

From my perspective if he has supply issues with them, then just sell the kit as body-shell and frame. At least that way people have their expectations set and are able to make alternative arrangements.

BTW MarkF - I look fwd to seeing your build thread soon, but i totally know how DIY can impact a build! I was lucky and allowed a stay-of-lieu on repainting the windows on our house last year so i could start the Miglia, but i _have_ to do them this year or I'm a dead man

Yes your right dave he could have sold the kit as a frame and body and I would have still bought one, but he advertised mine with a fibreglass bulk head, and selection of grill, which I have paid for and did not receive, that's my only complaint. I too will not sit about waiting for it to turn up, I will also make my own, but what about a refund for bits not supplied, and there is the question of not receiving a receipt, for the purchase of the kit, he can a least reply to emails or phone calls surely.i have no grievances with Mike at all just expected correspondence to be easier, I am sure he is a very busy man.

As everyone who has dealt with Mike knows, he is a good guy, but lousy on communication. I tried phone, email and message on eBay. I definitely need a receipt to register my car, so he is being a bit cheeky at present. But here's hoping :-)

Sorry Oxford - I have created a new thread, and it has a photo of my car - come on over and take a peek. And if you are in th Essex area, then you can pop round for a cup of tea and I will show you the beast in the flesh.

My new thread has my own photos now I have mastered the art of posting from my phone. That's me, last of the luddites...

Ah, I have not been clear enugh in that case - my apologies.

My Miglia is very much Spitfire based (next week, when the chassis on stands photos go up you will see the Spit chassis), and the body was shortened by Mike by 9 inches to suit, along with a custom made frame.

I think (IMHO) that it was the frame that made Mike decide to give up - I think it was just too much effort considering he has a full time day job. The frame was outsourced to a local fabricator at his expense, and it works ok. When I get to that part of the build I will probably do some modifications myself (including a centre tunnel etc).

And can I now ask that we stop this thread, as I would rather move all questions etc over to my new build thread, that way we can keep everything in one place. This old thread can then be left to wither and die.

So not trying to be rude, but I will now no longer answer questions on this thread, and hope that is ok for anbody reading.

All the best guys, Marc signing off (on this thread only).
