Saying hello

Hi
My names Gary, I have a Sammio 550 spyder kit which I purchased awhile back. Been watching this forum for a while and having got to the point where the kit looks like something, decided to join. Pic shows the chassis/frame ive constructed which is now ready for the floorpan. Engine is a stock 1300 twinport beetle lump, although ive built the rear frame to take something bigger later :icon_cool: will post some more pics once ive resized them.

Hello another Gary... Any part of the build will be interesting to someone. Try and load pics onto Photobucket as their a bit small. Maybe T, can explain if he's not in the garage!

Hi there Gary flyingbrick, welcome to the forum.

Nice to see a 550 being built, how's the experience been so far?

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your progress, and if you want to post pictures directly try

There's a guide thread somewhere on here, but the quick version is just upload the picture then copy and paste the 'img' code into the post.
