Keep the photos coming, i'd like to see how the floorpans go in and how you bond it all together.

I'm loving the job you've done on the chassis, its certainly giving me some ideas of what to aim for with mine!

Out of interest, have you gone for a red gel coat on your body?

Nice to see - and will be interesting to see how the red gel coat pans out - or will you spray as well?

Have you / do you have to lower the radiator with this Miglia kit?

I know i did on the Sammio and TBH it's not a problem, but if i don't have to then that will be great!

Cheers matey, in which case i'll not refit the new rad yet and i'll wait for the frame to turn up before messing around.
That'll give me time to sort a few other bits n bobs out :

I have gone with a red gel coat as i want to mot test and get on the road before I have it painted, thought it would just keep it all, one colour, plus I will be spraying it red any way in the end. the radiator as remained in the original mounting place as on the vitesse, but the body frame also fits to these mounts, so I advise you not to fit your rad to vehicle until you sit your frame on. I then had to trim the rad mounts just to get it to sit flush. I sat the frame on when it was delivered just to be able to get it all in garage, that is why the body looks high at the front in the photos, this will sit lower down over the front wheels now I have fastened the frame on correctly, and rad is now back on.

floor pans, frame now in situ on chassis rewelded new rear outriggers on, but cut them down anyway can't really see it being a problem with dvla, but if it is I will weld the ends back on, and see what they say then. put tank, and fuel pipe in as well.image.jpg

Default pedal position

mounted clutch and brake pedal. tried seat in position to check steering column, and driving position. well it's either cut my legs off, or chop the frame, and pedals to reposition, as the frame must have been made for a midget, back to the drawing board ........now where was that hacksaw????????image.jpg

Not sure if this photo from TlrTone's Miglia build will help.



I know he had a different set of pedals, so wanted a "non standard" set up.

Good luck, Paul.
