Picking Up Kit

The day finally came, after getting the call from GBS I booked the van for the next week.

The van was overkill but I guess its better to be safe than sorry.   After a stop at Maccy Ds we pulled up at the factory and started to load onto the van.

As I have previously read GBS were thorough making sure everything was correct and I had to sign off each item as it was loaded in the van:

Shame I didnt take more pictures of the van loading, you could tell the guys at GBS had done it before - all neat and secure.  The chassis wasnt too heavy, two of us lifted it into the van with ease.

Spent a lot of time talking to Ben and Lawrence about the build procedure and they went through lots of tips, where to start and what to look out for which I am sure will be help as we progress.

Back home we managed to fit everything into the garage, its a bit of a mess at the moment:

 After a nights rest and a few other things I got time to have a tidy up, got to look after the knees :)

 First job complete - steering column bush.  Ben said this was the very first thing I should put in, it was easier than I thought but I guess thats because I had plenty of room:

Note the unopened tool chest in the background.  Thats the next job, organise the tools and plan out what we do next....
