Garage clear out

Well over the last few days i have been sorting out the garage ready for when the Zero kit arrives.
It's not a huge garage but should provide me with enough space to build the kit.

As you can see from the pics bellow i have full electrics with a double socket on each side wall and  a double socket on the end wall. It has 3  strip lights which should give me plenty of light.

I still need to buy a few tools ready for the build but have a good selection to start.

The next update should be with me visiting the factory to place my order.

Where to begin ?

First off hello to anyone reading this or following my build.
if you have found your way to the blog you must have an interest in kit cars, and more to the point the Robin hood Zero kit car .
I decided to make a blog of my build to keep a record for myself and hopefully help
out anyone who is either just starting out or is thinking of getting a Zero.

My journey started about 2 years back, but have been into cars, and all ways wanted to build a kit from about the age of 15.
i started by buying a few of the kit car magazines on offer. I also spent a lot of time on the internet researching different kit manufactures.
then at the start of this year i found the RHOCAR site. i spent quiet a lot of time looking at all the info on the site and from there found a few build blogs and spent most of my time looking at them. ( Im still following a few blogs now)

Then back in May this year on a sunny bank holiday weekend i went to the stoneleigh Kit car show.
I spoke to a few owners of GBS Zero cars on how easy the build was, time it took, help from factory etc etc.
Then back at home it was time for more research and decide if for one i could actually afford to build a kit ? I decided if i wanted one i would build it with all new parts to get a new reg plate when it's all complete. After a few months of working out figures etc i have decided to go a head with the project.

First up i need to fit out the garage and get all my tools sorted ready for the build i will update this blog as much as i can so please follow me on my journey.
