Well, not actually a boat, but something with less metal. I've been pretty unwell since Saturday and stuck in bed since Thursday so thought I'd try and be productive yesterday and replace the broken wheel studs from the RBRR. Bit of a mistake as it turns out, for two reasons;
1 - I ended up back in bed afterwards
2 - I've found yet another rust hole
Annoying as it's not like the car is 55+ years old, sits outside all year and only covered about 2300 miles last year (2k miles was the RBRR weekend)...
Anyhoo, it leaves me considering fibreglass options again.
Years ago I fancied a Sammio but I'm not overly keen on the proportions. But for a while now I've been keeping an eye on the Formosa. Two issues (again);
1 - it'd mean no more RBRR for this car due to no roof
2 - my engine is about 6 inches further back than standard so there may be packaging issues.
What are peoples thoughts or experiences? I'm done with a welding session each year but I don't want to recycle the car either!
Here are some Sammio and Formosa pictures.
