Good support from the team at GBS talking through the build, general advice etc then checking through the order.
I ordered virtually a complete kit so it took the best part of 3 hours to check everything against the list and load into the van. I happened to have rented an extra long wheelbase van which was easily filled by all the boxes.
Of the 100s of parts half a dozen will follow later;
Richard designed a spare wheel carrier for me, removable and integrated into the chassis - otherwise the Kit is standard.
Got home around 9:40pm, lost the light around 10pm, first chance to use the engine hoist (in darkness) to get the motor out of the van, and finished unloading by about 11:00pm:
Note; the bonnet (sitting on top in this picture) is rolled and edges formed as standard now; + the main right angle bend on the rear panel:
Its all tidy at this point:
And now not so much,... ready to sort out a little:
Again panels - it looks like the side panels have changed a little - larger floor 'triangles' built in and all bent/formed up (bottom left of this picture against the wall):
The picture on the wall is to provide inspiration and make sure I don't lose sight of the wood for trees!
+ the GRP panels are currently sitting in the
First build task - sort all this stuff out so I can move in the garage;
Need to find somewhere to put the tyres on the wheels which will save some space too.
Busy - but very productive day!
