11th September 2021 will be burned into our memories for some time. It's been 20 long weeks since we ordered the kit and it's finally ready for collection!
Little did we know at the time, but the first challenge of the build was the chassis not fitting on the gen 1 build trolley we had bought second hand (money saving expert dot com). This was a taste of things to come!
GBS have moved the battery tray to a position in front of the engine on the lower chassis rails, bear this in mind if you are trying to get a gen 2 chassis to fit a gen 1 trolley!
Richard kindly obliged with an angle grinder and we were good to go!
That is one big pile of car!! Let the build begin...
One thing to note that we have found very useful during the build is that all of the wheels on the gen 1 build trolley swivel. This has been very handy when moving the car back and forth across the garage to gain access to different parts of the chassis.
