So I hope you do the project justice as I may be a customer
Soon
Are you thinking along the same lines as the sammios
As in a basic body and frame or a more developed "kit"
As I like Gary philosophy keeping costs real! All the very best

I'm thinking of developing the chassis more in line with the original but still using low cost of the shelf solutions for suspension and brakes etc. I want to keep the car simple. I'm my opinion it's sometimes more cost effective for a builder to buy a part that simply bolts on rather than having to refurbish and try to fit something cheaper?
I'll also keep the original jigs so that i can offer a vw beetle based chassis or a more advanced chassis. Both chassis options would use the same bodywork. I'll need to have a good long look at what gary's done so far then take it forwards - the more input from you guys the better!
I hope to get a website up and running early new year so that everyone can see the development for themselves.
Keep in touch.
Robin
