Spyder to Timmy?
http://www.ottersccustoms.com/timmy.html
Have any of you seen this or actually done this mod? It looks pretty cool, but I've only just started learning the mechanics of paintball markers and this looks a bit advanced (and expensive) for me to try right now  .

"Spimmy."
It's a good project for a spyder. You end up with a gun that's just as good as the older intimidators.
It's also a little work, probably not something to try unless you're pretty sure you'll get through it.

Probably around 300ish if you got all your parts from ebay.
andisblue did it a while ago.

that looks pretty cool but almost like a waste of time. for the money you spent you could just buy one

but not many people have guns that shoot like timmys but with spyder bodies. its worth it if you want a custom gun.
Buy a used 2k2 for cheap and get rollin if you really want one.

You would be surprised how many people have spimmy's....
I have thought about doing this in the past, but like roadkill said, you could just get an actual timmy for the same price...and it usually looks better.

If you buy all the parts used, you can do it preaty cheep. it also helps to have friends with hook ups who have hook ups.
parts are easy to find and cheep if your willing to be patient. i'm doing it for fun and to learn a bit about timmys.
at the cost rate im getting my parts, it's not gonna cost me more than $200. Lookin round ebay actual timms arnt goin for less than 400 used.

even buying used you would still lose out. Thanks to the buildup of the mid-end market and the extraordinarly low resale value of highend guns that are only 1-2 years old.
