Stop turning us builders green with envy. They look great and are an inspiration on cold and wet nights in the garage/workshop.

build them to use them ... got too make the best of it now.. just keep the sun out like to day.

Cars are both still looking great. Should be a silver one joining the parade by Christmas...

your car is come in on great i see the seats when i pop in to trimmers nice

Cheers Phil, Brockwells did a great job on them with a really fast turn-round time, thanks for the recommendation.

Quick question for you Phil - what filler do you use for the final finishing process before paint? Everything I've tried so far is a bit too coarse, leaving pin-hole voids here and there.

hi dave i use esay sand filler from aj paints in lynn they do a non pin hole filler too i get my paint mixed there too pop in they are very good and have a lot of stock

Thanks Phil, I'll give them a try.

Cars look fantastic as usual, Phil. Video is good too, especially the overtake. Awesome soundtrack, might have to replace my standard stainless back-box with something a little rortier...

going to have to make space for num 3 sammio its going to be a 2.5 with a very hot motor maybe black going to use all i can too make this one king of the 3..... pics to follow

Will it be road legal or pure race car?

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress. Give me a shout if you need a hand shifting stuff, I'm only up the road after all.

As for the motor, I'm sure I've seen a 2500 bored out to 2.7 on triple webers fitted to a Spitfire when I picked up my donor. Worth researching...

Oh, and I love the idea of a black one.

it will be road /track car got the webbers 3 and a 25 motor and o/d box and a lot of great bits also pick up that chassis got wheels...[ also looking for 7 inch wide off set wires]..as mite go abit wider archs ....in fact all i need is a new sammio body work as i have it all ready just a mass of bits.. would like to have one door d/side as considering a roof ? like to pick up a fast road cam as well..going to play about with discs to get it to stop as well as go.... i will have to ring andy ? is it.. about a body just have in a bit of time off building at mo as fair bit of work at mo, but will get going xmas week off then the fun will start

Phil, I thought that bonnet was going to come off...

Sounds good Phil. Have you considered banded steel TR6 wheels instead? They'd be a lot stronger than wires given the power you're looking to put through them. The adaptors cost less than the splined ones too -

thank s for link, have found a place that make wide wire wheels 14/15 inch up to ten inch wide for racing with deep off set and a wide band with very strong spokes like on old vintge racing cars li


like the back one as i have humbs and spinners all ready

That is a pretty, pretty car! Although i can't imagine that exhaust is IVA friendly
