Yes its home :thumbsup: And I forgot how stunning these cars look. Its an absolute work of art. Big thanks to chris and the Zcars team.
I don't think its going to take long to build as its more of a bolt together job compared with the mini conversion.
I am starting from the bottom upwards by installing the carbon composite floor first. Even the floor looks nice.
Just waiting for the shops to open so I can buy a powered rivet gun.

Aric Did you get a build dvd or some instructions with yours? :thumbsup:

Nope...Chris said "ring me if you have any questions". His "e-mail phone" hasn't had a week without at least one question it seems in nigh on two years - he's very responsive as always of course :thumbsup:

Well I done the jigsaw puzzle thing yesterday to see where every thing goes and if anything is missing.
Going to have a good look at your build Aric to make sure I am doing it right.

I haven't took many pics due to sore hands off riveting. I have an air powered riveter now and a air nibbler and a new tool chest after a trip to machine mart.
