It would be great to see past builders

Hi all, got my thread action back. Still on holiday so brain so relaxed. I will try and update where I am to date and show as much as possible so others can see and guild.
As this is my first rebody build I am always looking for detailed advice.
Most of my experience has been with rebuilding classiscs.

Hi Carib,
Just saw your post, it is nice to see another Miglia build postings. I really like your choice of engine/gearbox - it will suit Miglia for sure!

You're right, I've modified my frame as much as I could. Like yours, the frame I received was really basic and did not have the pedals/master cylinders plate, prop shaft tunnel, etc. I did not know how to weld, so I bought a basic gasless MIG welder and gave it a go. My welding skills are constantly improving, and my welds are not the prettiest, but they pass my hammering test and are strong enough.
The idea was to use fibreglass version of the original bulkhead that was to be supplied with kit, but apparently there were problems with fitting it. At the certain point they stopped making and supplying the bulkhead with the kit, but never modified and improved the frame to make up for the absence of it.
At the moment I'm working on the rear of the frame. I have decided to make a compartment behind the seats and install fuel tank in it, instead having it all the way at the rear. I'll post some photos when it's all done.
Looking forward to following your build and good luck with it.
Cheers, Deni.

P.S. I have same problems with the photos upload, something changed a while ago. I emailed the admin on a few occasions....

I can't comment on hosting your pictures directly on this site as I've never used it.
I use Flickr to host my photo's.
Not sure, but I think you can still get a free Flickr account up to a 1000 photo's.
Once the photo is uploaded to Flickr you hit the 'Share' button and then paste the 'BBCode' into your draft post here. When you preview your post, the pictures appear.
Works everytime!

Thanks Peterux, I might try using Flickr.

Cheers, Deni.

Carib Classics - “Can anyone help with my pictures posting?”

peterux uses Flickr and I use Google Photos in a similar way.

I’ve just posted this on Deni’s build…

It is a pain, but adding [ i m g ] before and [ / i m g ] after the image link, without spaces, gives this…



Looking good.

@Carib Classics - Have you gone through the links on this thread?

Unfortunately, ‘Photobucket’ destroyed a lot of thread photos.

Similarly, the Sammio forum ‘next door’ has a lot of builds of a similar nature.

Hope that helps and good luck, Paul.
