Here are some pictures of the panels beening fitted to our car.

This is the seat back panel.

Here we all are at our christmas party

Spencer has also painted the suspension parts in black.

He used a special bare metal primer and a top coat of

garage door paint.

Here's Spencer just after the paint removal.

All the rubbing has made his feet swell up, but does'nt he have great new shoes.

As you can see we have now got the chassis painted in the top coat of blue.

Spencer did all the spray painting and he did a

FANTASTIC job!!!.

At the moment Spencer is having all the paint removed from his fur. He had a little accident when painting but its not much too worry about.

He has had a little bit shaved off but don't mention it to him next time you see him as he's sensitive about it!.

This is the chassis in our new million pound workshop facility.

This is the chassis in primer, and when its dry we will spray on a top coat. (Also when we have got all the spray paint off spencers fur !!)

We have collected the new kit and it is now at home in our new garage.

The van we hired to collect it was huge. Spencer said he learnt to ride a bike in a room smaller than that.

As you can see from the pictures Spencer did the steering and I worked the gears.

It was a little hard to get used to the van as our work van is a little different, but we soon had it flying up the motorway to the Great British Sportcars factory.

We unloaded the kit with the held of our chief test pilot GRANDMA GRUMPY. As you can see from the picture. Here we are rolling the chassis into the workshop.

Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry but spencer took them and I think he had a fit of the giggles.

Hello everyone, well the deal has been done and we are expecting a new zero kit to be arriving very soon. Spencer and myself would like to thank all the people who have shown their support and sent us emails of good luck on the shoe situation. At last sense has returned and no more shoes are arriving in the near future. (we think it was the letter to the MP that did it)

Here you can see the GBS ZERO as seen at the kit car show at Donnington last month.

Spencer has put off hibernation this year to build this kit so lets hope he doesn't turn grumpy!!

Remember to check back soon for updates and if you have any comments please leave them.

Here is another new car I've been looking at.
Its a GBS zero 7 and is just like zoom zoom 2 Spencer and myself were building earlier in the year.

As I am a busy business bear I have done a full cost analyst of this project and have gone into the business implication of the purchase of this car.
We have looked at all aspects of the build and set up cost centres and management teams to fully test all probabilities. The conclusion we, as an organisation have reached is...........................

WE SHOULD BUY THIS CAR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I Will have to check the shoe count and see if any more are coming.

Hope you like the tyres I have collected this week.

Spencer has spent such a long time removing these tyres and then stacking them!!

I'm still dreaming of a new car.

I really want this new westfield very bad!!

But with more and more new shoes coming into the house it's hard to see how I can buy it.

THIS IS VERY SAD!!!!!!!

Hi

I have just taken my first step onto the property ladder. I bought a home for my workforce and you can see pearl my cat sitting in her new home!!!!

She loves it.

The gang all here!!

This is Spencer and myself with Gasket and this brother Dipstick, who came to vist us last week.

Dipstick is just like his brother in most ways, except that he never won a race!The best he's ever come is last!

But its great to have him visit (just don't put any money on him to win!!!)

Here's our van near the dome.

Spencer was fitting some tyres near there.

Here are my cats pearl and portia on a company day out at the park

This is me looking at the new Westfield kit.Its a limited edition of only 25 to celebrate 25 years of Westfield.

I was hoping to buy one, and build it but I have been stopped because of the need for more shoes. I was promsed this kit but it looks like I will miss out again.

As you can see I'm a busy business bear doing important business things.

Hi all

This is me in my office working on my new business.

As you can see I'm working very hard!!!

I have a laptop computer and a desk and all sort of office stuff!!!

This ia a picture of the van spencer drives to fit the tyres to peoples cars.He loves driving it.

Hi all, sorry its been so long since I've posted but a lot has changed at Baxter Automobiles.

The long and short of it is, I've had to sell zoom zoom before it was completely built to help with the expansion of my empire.

So the car has gone to a new home and Spencer and myself have been busy with our new enterprise.

We are now in the tyre business, and sell tyres from our mobile fitting van so, if you need tyres for your car give our website a look and order your tyres online and save a lot of money!!!

Its www.etyres.co.uk

Don't worry though we will be building a new zoom zoom soon.

Spencer has been moving the metal plates about the workshop and I've been bolting in the fuel tanks.

Well I think you can see that the end is in sight.

That is the end of fitting plates to the seat back/roll hoop.

As you can see the tank frame is also coming along very well.

Its hard to fit in there, but goes in.... just.

Spencer is measuring the panel to make sure we cut it correctly.
We used high tensile button head bolts and special glue to bolt and bond the new panel to the seat back and under the roll hoop, this will make it extra strong.
You can see the special bolts in the pictures as we are admiring our handy work!
