THE OLD PROJECT SAMMY
CUT UP FOR BITS ON THE NEW LWB SAMMY
NOT THE BEST PICTURE IN THE WORLD BUT TAKEN
BY SIMON TOURON ON A CAMERA PHONE LATE IN THE EVENING. IT HAS BEEN DRY STORED FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD RAILWAY
CARRIAGE WITH NO WHEELS.RUST IS MINIMAL WITH A SMALL PATCH OR TWO NEEDED HERE AND THERE, THE BODY IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN
A LONG LONG TIME.
A FEW MORE PICTURES OF THE
SAMMY AS SHE GOES OFF TO RHINO CENTRAL FOR A SPOA, DFLEX AND OTT STEERING.
SHE'S A TIDY LITTLE SAMMY
WELL
I HAVE RECEIVED A CALL FROM TIM WESTON AT RHINO CENTRAL TO SAY THE SAMMY IS ALMOST READY AND HE HAS SENT ME A COUPLE OF PICTURES
OF HER WITH SPOA, D-FLEX AND OTT STEERING AS I WANTED ....... ENJOY
A FEATURE OF THE D-FLEX KIT
IS THAT THE SHOCKS POINT INBOARD, ALLOWING LONGER SHOCKS AND MORE FLEX
NEW FRONT SHOCK
MOUNT POSITIONS
REAR D-FLEX SHACKLE
FRONT D-FLEX SHACKLE
AND A VIEW OF THE NEW STRENGTHENED OTT STEERING SET UP
MUCH BIGGER AND A LOT MORE CAPABLE.
I WILL COLLECT HER THIS WEEK COMING AND FIT THE VITARA ENGINE AND SAMMY BOX PLUS ROCKCRAWLER TRANSFER CASE AS SOON AS I CAN.
THE ENGINE IS MISSING AND ALSO THE GEARBOX, BUT NO PROBLEM...... I HAVE ALREADY SOURCED AN 8 VALVE
VITARA ENGINE WITH NIKKI CARBS AND A 410 TRANSFER CASE WITH ROCKCRAWLER GEARS ( EX K9RDJ.CO.UK ), SO ONLY THE GEARBOX TO GET AND
THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM AROUND.
WE DECIDED TO GO SPOA AND OTT STEERING, DLEX SHACKLES AND 32" TYRES. MORE MODS AND A FULL BUILD
UP WILL BE POSTED HERE AS AND WHEN READY.
ALL THE BITS ARE HERE ITS JUST A MATTER OF FINDING TIME TO FIT IT ALL.
