Ok, so this page describes the only real disaster we've had (so far) whilst building the car. 

It all started with offering the pre-rolled rear tub up for fitment onto the chassis. Sounds simple enough doesn't it - but ours just didn't quite seem to fit.  After a lot of head scratching, we concluded (incorrectly) that for the bolts at the top of the panel to attach to the stays that come from the roll bar, the tub had to be pushed quite hard onto the car.

Pushing the tub onto the car it seems made the back panel go all wavy - but at the time, I don't really think we had realised that was what was causing it. After a few good shoves, we think the back panel now had a new wavy shape.

Holding a straight edge up to the back panel revealed we had a problem - and after a lot of deliberation, we decided that problem would be fixed with filler. It only seemed like a couple of mm we needed to fill on each side 

This was all starting to get a bit mad. The panel was flexing whilst trying to sand it flat and was generally just a nightmare. We were starting to worry, one quick stamp on the throttle and we might be leaving this filler abomination lying on the A50 behind us.

It started to dawn on us we had royally fecked this up...

Admitting defeat, we were due to visit GBS to pick up some bits and pieces, so decided we would seek some advice while we were there.

Our fears were realised... chatting with Richard at GBS, the tub shouldn't need anywhere near that amount of filler. We had made a big booboo!

Fortunately, GBS had a spare one knocking around - so we bit the bullet and bought it. Not quite standard - this one didn't have the ears because it was destined for another life on their race demonstrator, but none-the-less beats a 6 week wait for them to cut, bend and fab up a new one!

This time - we follwed their advice and glued in the boot strengthening panel before trying to fit it. That was fun, lots of clamps and lots of weight!

Then when fitting it, we elongated the holes for the roll bar stays, so we weren't trying to push the tub onto the chassis.

Low and behold, it fits now and will just need a skim of filler before paint (by a professional too!) Phew!
