I agree with the others ETB gauges are great and the team are very helpful. Ultimately its up to you and your imagination on dash design. Regards Mark

Jamie, Looking really good I collect mine on Wednesday looks like I need to buy a lot more clamps and clekos. Anything else you can think off? Regards Mark

The site is looking really good. I have nothing but good comments about GBS, always helpful and flexible. I pick up my kit on 7th July and I am sure it will be a good day. Mark

Graham, Looking good I wish my garage was a big as yours. I will use these picture as reference when I pick the kit up next month. Let me know when you post more. Regards Mark

Steve, Looking good I pick my Zero up 2-3 weeks everything is clean, painted and ready to go. Getting excited....nervous. One question did you use washers or tube on the diff spacers, can't see clearly from the photo? Regards Mark

Hi All, Just about to order fuel lines, so many to choose from. Can you please advise in your opinion which type of fuel line I should use? Plastic, Copper, Rubber, Stainless steel overbraid Also what is the ideal gap between p clips? Cheers

I think Ebay is great I was going to order some odds and sods for the car through CBS (good company) but then had a quick search on Ebay found a lot of bits and saved £58. Always worth looking.

IT is not my strong point however the change looks good and the map is brilliant.

Good application great for planning convoys.

Same here good day out. Finally oredered the Zero kit car Richard was very helpful and swapped some items around that I did not need, fingers crossed should be ready for collection mid-June. The RHOCAR stand was friendly as ever great brew! - thanks Ian. Hopefully next year I'll be there in the car (time permitting). Be prepared for the newbie build questions.

Not much help but they are the same as my drive shafts I took off a sierra a few weeks ago. As I owned the car for a 3 months and decided not to strip the CV joint just clean old greae out and replace the boot/gaiters from ebay (Stretch cv boot kit) comes with a grease pack. I did replace the wheel bearings.

Hi All, Has anybody used these stretch CV boot on ebay? Are they any good? Do they last? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-STRETCH-CV...=item27afd13734 Regards Mark

Looks good. I was designing a blog space for my build but IT security in work has just blocked all blogs and social networking sites. This might allow people in work to see my progress (or lack of progress). Regards Mark

Dan - thank you. Excellent tip on slide a boot medium gaiter on ebay - Ordered. Regards Mark

A few years ago the kids had a coin maker from argos for Christmas you can make plain coins if you don't use the stamp/press, silver or gold. You have to melt the chocolate, then use the template, keep cold in fridge for about an hour and finally wrap them. Lots of sticky fun , about £15.00 Pink Golden Coin Maker. 383/8190. Regards Mark

Iggy, Nice dash I am thinking of using carbon how easy was it to cut accurately? Regards Mark

Great news you always gave me confidence during the kit car shows. Best of luck. Going to order the Zero very soon thanks for emails. Regards Mark

Jess, Made a mistake on the engine chioce - ebay sierra good runner advertised as 1.6 pinto won the bidding war (sierra's are getting thin on the ground) the seller drove it to my brother-in-laws house. He's 150 miles away and siad it sounded OK, no smoke a bit of documented history so I was happy. Got the car transported to Telford drove it off the transporter and around the estate agian I was happy. Pulled into the driveway to have a good look under the bonnet C**P it had a 1.6 crossflow fitted I checked the history its a 1984/5 Ford sierra import from South Africa. Ford South Africa fitted xflow until the end of 1985. Don't get me wrong I like xflow and they have a lot of potential. Therefore I am going to stick with it and plan for a winter upgrade in a few years. Bottom line don't buy a car of ebay without seeing it yourself! Mark

Hi, I have finished stripping the sierra and started to clean, service and paint everything. Before I actually order the RH Zero what else should I be thinking of buying in advance (i.e. nuts, bolts, tools etc). Misses doesn't know about the kit car fund but I want to be as ready as possible and spend a little per month until the kit arrives. Thank you Mark

Nick, Looking really good I am still stripping the donor vehicle. Did GBS powdercoat the chasis if yes is the finish good? Not going to order the kit untill the parts are ready due to limited space. Regards Mark

Daz, Looks really good, its surprising how difficult it is to decide the final layout. I'm still stripping the donor and I have shed loads of photos from the shows and various build sites...... but still can not decide. Well plenty of time yet - ETB dials on wish list. Regards Mark

Grizzly, I found your site very interesting and useful. I intend to use this for my Zero can you post a picture of the hinge area please? Regards Mark

My donor has been using the additive with no problems for years. Although I might change the engine after IVA but for now I'm going to keep using the additive. Stick with it unless you have problems with your valves and seats. Regards Mark

Graham, When did you order your Zero, I am still stripping my donor vehicle and looking for the current lead time? Regards Mark
