Thats great, video time.... come on, you've got nothing else to do?
11 May 2012, 4:25pm
Nice. Very nice and well done on adding to the Spyders on the road. Like the wheels too, they give a nice blend of 'now' with the 'then' :biggrin:

Whoo Hoo! Congrats matey and just in time for a nice sunny weekend! :)

The next thing you know you'll start find 'excuses' to take it out any time you can, just like i do. e.g. i've got to go and get a take away in a min and guess what i'll be driving :)

:pop2: mmmmm a take away sounds good, how far away you from sunny Barnstaple..

Looks great, like the wheel choice, suits the car.

well done mulberry, it looks lovely!

Park it somewhere scenic over the weekend and take lots of photos to spur us builders on!

You'll have to add to Dave's running report so we all know what expect!

Congratulations on passing the MOT.

I really like your colour choice. :cool:

My donor Spitfire has very similar wheels and it is great to see them looking the part too.

Enjoy the sunshine, Paul. :)

LOOKING PRETTY SHARP MATE ....Congrats on what looks like a well finished car ...

Hi
It's Andy Andrew from Bickington. You kindly showed me your Sammio under construction a while back. Family matters intervened for me and has delayed me, but I am now back in the market. If it's convenient I would love to see the outcome of your build?
Best wishes
Andy

Interesting to see a finished Spyder with someone in it. Do you have lowered floor pans/seats?
15 May 2012, 6:25pm
no Nick Mulb hasn't gone for lowered pans...
16 May 2012, 3:55pm
I am hoping Mulb is over 6ft or I am gonna have a problem not lowering my floorpans!.....Ican almost taste those flies.
