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!!

Here is Spencer racing a formula renault car at thruxton race circuit.

We had a day at Thruxton race circuit and we got to drive lots of supercars like the Ferrari and lambo shown here.
Spencer also drove the formula Renault race car.

Here we are just working out where and how to connect the radiator up.

As you can see Spencer is fitting the battery tray before we make and fit the scuttle.

And I am telling him what to do.

Just checking the settings on the carb today.

At the moment we are trying to work out how to fit the radiator at the front of the engine.

We saw some fitted upright and some fitted flat under the nosecone.

Spencer thinks we should fit it flat under the nose and as he works for nasa in a top, top secret department I think I will do as he says.

More work done on the engine and here you can see us looking for all the horses in our engine as gasket rebuild it and said it will have a few extra horse power now.

We could'nt see them

We installed the racing engine and gearbox in the chassis by using a crane and jacked the front of the car up high to help.

This is the three of us making sure that the engine is nice and comfy in the engine bay

Got the pedals in today and a nice job we made of it too.

This is Spencer crying after we pulled his paw out of the exhaust pipe.

He's such a silly bear!!

If you want to cheer him up send him a email.

We have been fitting the exhaust to the car, and as you can see it took both of us as its long and heavy!!

At one point Spencer got his paw stuck in the tail pipe and it took ages to get it out again!

You can see me helping him to pull it out.

Here is Spencer fitting the exhaust manifold to our racing engine.

Here we are having a team meeting.

Spencer told me that all the great racing car company's in the world have team meeting to discuss tactics and strategies .

So we had a meeting.

All we seemed to agree on was we don't need team meetings!!

Oh and our other business is also doing well and we now have 2 tyre fitting van on the road.
