Hi,we had some trouble with the wheels to day,so you can see I'm under the rear of the car looking into it.Thats the drive shaft and rear hub and I'm tightening the bottom wishbone bolts.You can also see the rear shock absorber with the green spring.I hope to change these shockers as green is not a fast colour and my car is going to be fast!!!

Spencer told me that we have a major problem with the fuel tanks. He says that it will take all of his engineering skills to solve it. The fuel tank is at the rear of the car behind the seats. We hope to have a twin tank arrangement,with two separate tanks and two filler necks but this is the problem.Getting this set up correctly will cost a lot as the filler necks and pumps and pipes are all very expensive!! Our budget is all ready streached to the limit and close to breaking!!

Never mind I'll just have to come up with some way of getting the extra, I might have to sell Spencer on eBay!!!

JUST JOKING!!!!

The top picture shows us looking where the propshaft should fit,but some idiot got given the wrong one and it won't fit!!

I'm not very happy about this as it delays the build a little but its not the biggest problem to date so I will return the prop and have one made up specially for me.

These pictures show us fitting the engine into the car.It was very hard to fit it correctly and took us all day.

You can see in one picture that i fell into the engine bay,but dont worry i'm ok!!

Spencer has been working very hard and it was a very hot day,but he didnt take his scarf off all day!!

Spencer knows a lot about cars and told me that we have to talk to the engine if we want it to work correctly,so in one picture you can see me talking to it.I have to be honest and say that its not a great talker but we got on in the end.At one point spencer and myself sang a song to it.We sang a song by queens of the stone age called no one knows and i think it liked it.


Later we will be fixing the rear wheels

I have now fitted the front and rear suspension and we now have a rolling chassis.One of the pictures shows the engine that i will fit to the car.
It has been completely overhauled,with new shells and rings and also a new oil pump. The cylinder head has new valves which have been rimflowed and a fast road cam.

I am also making a ignition system call a mega-jolt to replace the standard distributor so i can have a wasted spark system.

The top picture shows me and my friends pearl and portia, they are my cats but for the picture they are wearing dog suits!!

These pics show my garage and the small space i have to work in,so its lucky spencer and me are small!!!

This shows the front suspension partly built up.I dont like the dampers and hope to change them soon for some high quailty items.

This shows me and my best friend spencer (he is sitting in the fruit bowl)

Spencer is helping me to build the car,and helps with lifting the heavy stuff,like spanners as he is very strong.

I also have the use of a monkey for some other jobs.

Also in this set of pics you can see the chassis almost build up.The diff is going in to the rear and then the rear body work is built around it.

zoom zoom mk1

This is me building zoom zoom mk1.
It took me ages to finish it but when it was done it was the fastest car on the block!!
The next car i will build is called zoom zoom mk2 and will be a little bigger and also a little faster.
i am going to build a kit car called a robin hood lightweight, it is made from aluminum panels riveted together much like in aircraft construction.
