Really great to see you doing something for you Sammy. You work really hard and bloody deserve it. I bet you can’t wait to get it built up and fit some Blue Samco hoses 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Craig,it can be quite frustrating at times building everyone else’s dream cars and seeing mine sat in the corner untouched. It certainly makes me feel better about things when I can see a little bit of progress on my own build, sadly Craig you won’t see a single Samco blue hose on my car,I know it will disappoint a lot of people but I just can’t do it🤣🤣🤣
Well, you've got your work cut out for you. I do like the budget builds because the work you put in you can see that you have put heart and soul into the build. Also it's good you got the 2nd body. It pity it can't be saved but will go to building up the 2 door. Maybe you can sneak more work on the car throughout the year.
I’m under no illusion this is gonna be easy,lots of fab/panel work to go but I think it’ll be worth it,I get great satisfaction from doing everything myself and this build will be no different in that respect. I’m hoping to spend more time on it this year,I’m not getting any younger so I need to push on a bit more with it
I’m aiming to do at least one night a week on my own car now, I’ve got a bit more enthusiasm towards the build now that I’ve made a bit of progress so I’m just gonna keep chipping away at it
When I sold this car to my brother back in 2012 he did the same as your car,he welded the back doors up and fitted tarmac arches but never completed the car then sold it on,the next owner then undone all this work to turn it back to a 4 door but again never got the car roadworthy and it was sold again and left in a barn untouched for many years until it came up for sale again and I ended up buying it back many years later
Great to see you putting new life into an old modified shell instead of the easier option of using a rare mint example.
This shell/car has sentimental value to me so it was a no brainer to do this car instead of sourcing another shell
@@SCClassics2022 That sounds like a great reason to me. It will be good to see the progress you make on it.
I’ll film everything good and bad so your all along for the ride haha

Nice to see you doing your car try and find some time to do some more you deserve to get yours done to 😊

Look good, looking forward to seeing it finished!
Thank you,I’m looking forward to seeing it finished too haha
Following with interest I have a moredoor into a two door with rear doors welded up by the previous owner who built it
When I sold this car to my brother back in 2012 he did the same as your car,he welded the back doors up and fitted tarmac arches but never completed the car then sold it on,the next owner then undone all this work to turn it back to a 4 door but again never got the car roadworthy and it was sold again and left in a barn untouched for many years until it came up for sale again and I ended up buying it back many years later
Great story it was meant to be back with you the previous owner did an amazing job of it
