Here are our new wheels and tyres.
The brake disc's are not fitted yet so the wheels
look a little close to the wing supports, but when
the disc's are in place the wheels will sit about 10 mm further away from the supports.

We are now getting the front suspension together so the wheels can be fitted .
It all went together very well

As you can see Spencer has finally fitted the diff into the chassis.
It only took him 2 days of lifting,pushing and pulling to get it in place.
He had to take a day off as he was completely worn out.
He also painted it a shiny silver colour.




















Hi all


More and more is now getting done on the car as you can see.



We have test fitted the steering column and brake master cylinder.

Its getting more and more like a racing car every day!!!!
















This is the side panel being fitted.


We have to test fit the panels to ensure they line up correctly before Spencer bonds them in place.



Here is Spencer putting a side infill panel in place

He then bent the tabs you can see down, ready to meet the rear top panel when it is fitted.






Spencer is pointing out to me the extra strong mountings for the diff at the rear of our car.

He has spent a long time designing these mountings on the computer at nasa where he works.

They will hold the differental in place as we race around the race track at top speed.



Here we are hard at work on the propshaft panels.




This shows some of the propshaft panels as well as the rear of ths seat back and our new fuel tank!















Spencer has bonded the panels on and I pop rivet them in place. teamwork!!











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

This is the seat back panel.

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.
