We have fitted the rear panel now after Spencer and I spent 5 hours making it.
It took a very long time to get it correct, but the end result is worth it. As Iggy said to me as we were finishing another late night in the workshop '' If it worth doing its worth doing well''
Well if he had turned up in time he could have helped us!! Cheeky bear!!







After we finished the brakes we started to plumb in the fuel lines.


As you can see the pump is now in and the fuel lines are connected to it.


The tank is now bonded in and also bolted down with 2 large straps



Spencer managed to get some glue on his paws when bonding the fuel tank and the spanner stuck to him

Spencer took these pictures of Iggy and myself rebuilding the rear brakes. As you can see we fitted new wheel cylinders to the back plates and also new shoes and drums.
Iggy painted the drums blue to match the car bodywork!
It was hard work but we got it done.















We have been busy building and now we have the help of iggy things are proceeding at a faster pace.














Spencer and iggy are fitting the dash board into place. this is just a test fit as it needs to be adjusted after the wirning loom is fitted.

This is my cousin Iggy from Germany who has come over to help us build zoom zoom.


His day job is as an actor and he can currently be seen in eastenders playing the part of Dotty's teddy bear.


As he said '' Its a demanding role and only a bear of substance could play this part''


Well all I want him to do is put the brakes together!!



Here we all are at the christmas party, and another year is gone.

Hope we get it finished soon!!
