Customer enjoys Hill Climb in the Zero…..

Earlier this week it was nice to receive some photographs from a GBS Customer who at the weekend enjoyed doing a Hill Climb Sprint in his Zero at Aintree, where he came third in his class.
Its great to see everything opening up again and events like these happening, we look forward to being back out on the track later in the year with you all in the Zeros.
Its our GBS Zero Run Out this Saturday (1st May) so we look forward to sharing more photos and videos with you from that next week. To join us in your Zero and to see more details please click here.

Behind the scenes of how the Zero Chassis is Powder Coated....

The Zero chassis is powder coated as a standard option on all self build kits and factory builds and is a very important part of the Zero build. The powder coating process makes the chassis and components more resilient, gives a superior finish to paint, is long lasting and hard wearing and offers excellent corrosion protection. Here we share with you more details on the process and a few behind the scenes photographs of the process in action.

Once the Zero Chassis production is complete and all the required welds are flattened off, the chassis is now ready for the Powder Coat process to begin. Here you can see the process of what happens when a Zero chassis is powder coated.
The chassis is placed in the Shot Blasting Chamber where it is blasted, the chassis is then blasted, the blasting process removes any dirt from the chassis. Then the powder is applied using static charge. This is a two stage process first being primer, and the second black satin top coat. The Chassis is then placed in the oven and heated up to 200 Degrees. This allows the powder to fuse and bond with the chassis, this process is done over a period of time. Whilst the chassis is still hot from the primer, the final top coat is applied using the same electro static process. Once again the chassis is placed back in the oven for the final time to be fully baked and hardened. Then we have a finished Powder Coated Zero Chassis ready for the build to begin.

Testing at Blyton Park with a customers Zero and other performance car....

We always have a workshop full of Zeros and often have other interesting cars with us that we are doing work on and bespoke fabrication. One GBS Customer has a Zero and also owns this Repco Brabham sports car which some of you may have seen in the workshop when you visited last year. It was with us for engine, electrical and custom works and earlier this year it was back with us for the geometry set up and to prepare it for its test and set up day at the track.

Where last month we booked a test day at Blyton Park for the Brabham to be be put through it paces on the track to see how it performed, some of the GBS Workshop team also attended to make sure the set up was correct and to make any required adjustments to the setup. It was a successful and enjoyable day and the car performed well with only a few minor tweaks required. Denis also enjoyed several laps of the track in his Zero too, and can’t wait to join us on our next GBS Track Day. The Brabham is now all set up and ready for its Hill Climb event which is happening later next month, we look forward to hearing how it gets on.

Its always great to see what customers also have in their car collections along with the Zero, and we are pleased to offer a full range of workshop and engineering / fabrication services for the Zero and other sports cars. Click here for more details about what we offer including our IVA Service.

Busy in our Machine Shop.... New software is working well for us.

To enhance our manufacturing capabilities here at GBS, we recently invested in Autodesk software platforms via Cadspec. We wanted to design, manufacture as much as we can in-house and this gives us a lot more flexibility on the design, options and performance, which we can then pass on to the customer.

We are pleased to say that we are really pleased and excited about the new software Autodesk as it is helping us to grow our manufacturing and engineering capabilities. On a recent component that we had in production it saved us a whole 7 minutes, which is a massive time saving.

We manufacture a full range of components in house for the Zero and other sports cars, to see more about the products that we manufacture please visit www.atrproducts.co.uk and follow us on Instagram to see more behind the scenes of what we are upto.

It was also great to be featured in the March issue of the MTD Magazine about our recent investment in Autodesk with Cadspec. We look forward to working with MTD Team again later this year and doing more track days and events together.

All of the ATR Product range is available online from Kit Spares, visit www.kitspares.co.uk to see the full product range.

Zero Transformation & Painted... From Orange to Grey.

BEFORE & AFTER

It now has the new GBS Seats and seat belts, carbon fibre dash with smiths instruments, new exhaust silencer, LED Style Headlights and full carbon trim and full paint with stripes. The customer now has many track days and road trips planned for later in the year.

Father & Son enjoy their Zero Build..... See what they say about it?

We first met Father and Son Jerry and Matthew Haller in January 2019 at the Autosport’s International Show at the NEC in Birmingham when they visited our stand. Soon after they visited us at the factory and enjoyed a test drive in our Zero demonstrator where they then placed their order for their Zero Self Build Kit. Their build is now complete and we were delighted to have had it with us in the workshop for our IVA Service that we offer, and after passing its IVA test last month and now fully registered it will soon be collected ready for them to enjoy this summer.

As the Zero Self Build option is a popular project for Father and Sons to enjoy together we asked Matt if he would write a few words for us about his experience building a Zero and how they found it………

It all started at the Performance Car show at the NEC in Birmingham- where the GBS stand caught our eye. My dad and I were looking for a car project and so the sound of building a high performance seven style kitcar was fantastic, and it didn’t take long for us to order a kit.

Our chassis came panelled and painted which was a very helpful start as we were complete novice builders. We knew a bit about cars, but we were hardly experienced mechanics.

We loved to figure out how things went together and why they did. The satisfaction of getting a job done was brilliant. I think we both agree our favourite jobs were dressing the 2.5l Duratec engine with ATR product parts, and the suspension, again using ATR dampers. Doing electrical work on the car was a dream, due to GBS’s wiring harnesses- not a tangly mess of wires anywhere in sight!

However, the build was not always easy for us. The engine and gearbox installation was tricky, as well as the diff installation. But the harder the job, the better the feeling you get once completed. Building your very own car is not your average project, and it was a privilege to have such a helpful team at GBS to aid us along the way.

 It was quite simply one of the best things we have ever done- fantastic fun and an amazing learning journey. I was 16 making this car with my dad- the amount I have learnt (both about the working of cars and technical skills) is astonishing. The build process has also gone towards my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award and an Extended Project Qualification Award (EPQ).

We are very excited to get the Zero on the road, and we look forward to being involved in the kit car community. We are also certain that because of the incredible experience building a zero kit car- it wont be our last build! - Matthew Haller (February 2021).

The Spec of Jerry & Matthews Zero is - Gen2 Custom Zero Self Build Kit, Sport standard Chassis, Painted with Stripes, Ford 2.5 Duratec engine with ATR Throttle Bodies, GRP Dash with Smiths Flight Gauges, Carbon Finishing Panels, DRL Style Headlights, GBS Seats with Blue Stitching, ATR Adjustable Suspension, ATR Front Brake Upgrade.

We now look forward to seeing Jerry & Matthews out enjoying their Zero and sharing more photos with you, and joining us at our GBS events which we hope can happen later this year. For more details about the Zero Self Build options please contact us and we can answer any questions you may have and discuss all the options with you. We look forward to hearing from you.

National Apprenticeship Week..... We are pleased to have two Apprentices with us here at GBS.

Will Wightman (left) Thomas Slaney (right)

As its National Apprenticeship Week we thought we would share an update on our two fantastic apprentices that we have here at GBS.

Thomas, who is based in our machine shop and engineering department has been with us for many years now since 2016 and has progressed to now be studying a HND Mechanical Engineering course at Rotherham College where he attends one day a week.
Thomas Said "It's been a great experience for me and I would recommend the apprenticeship to other people”.

Our most recent Apprentice to join the GBS team is Will, who has been with us several months now and we are delighted to have him on our team. Will is based mainly in the GBS Workshop, where he is involved in the Zero Builds, IVA preparations and much more. Will has also enjoyed time spent in each area of GBS to get an understanding of what we do and to learn about the components that we design and manufacture for the Zero and other cars inhouse.

Will has now started his college course which is Level 3 Engineering at West Notts College in Mansfield where he also attends one day a week. Due to Covid-19 and the lockdowns the start dates of their courses were delayed slightly and the lessons have been online so far. Hopefully in the next few months the colleges will be open and students will be able to attend in person.

We have a fantastic team here at GBS and we are all very proud of our two apprentices who are both very valued members of our team. Hopefully you will get to meet them later in the year at our GBS events and Track Days.
