Anyone got a Zero?
Has anyone got a RHE Zero?
Their kit seems good value,
I am looking for a 7 Kit that's comprehensive and good value. A project for myself and my Son ( he's 5 1/2  )
I have 3 other cars on the go at the moment but We have been watching "Mark Evans, A Race car is born" which has refuled my desire for a
7....
Any comments on the Zero, or any other ideas.
I am not sure that sourcing all the parts needed for a Roadster will actualy be cheaper than the basic Zero,

not sure if the zero is the same, but I have heard the build manuals are tosh and some of the parts are not bolt on, some modification is expected.
That said the zero is meant to be all new so might be different. Does look cracking value though.

The Zero has to be the best from them so far. Ask your question here link
There are a few owners of zero's on the site.

I looked at the zero in detail and it does look good value - however for not much more you can get an indy that looks a much better 7 replica - I know
they have some good price kits but trust me and go for the MK you will be a lot happier with the finished result for not a lot more money

Yes they "look" good value very comprehensive list of parts and the chassis is not bad , but be prepared to do a lot of refinishing or
replcement if you want to achieve a quality finish

Couple lads round here just took delivery of Zero's, very quick (3 week) turn around and a comprehensive cheap bit of kit.
There's always the Haynes Roadster if you fancy getting really involved

Let me know what they think of it...
I am not sure how much cheaper building from scratch will actualy be? unless I scrounge round to find things like a cheep set of shox..
Donor parts is not a problem,
I guess my biggest worry, is the cost of the IVA and should I bother building and instead buy an IVA'd car and be done with it..

If your worried about cost, you will probably not be able to build it for much more than the cost secondhand (particularly for a Zero if there rep is
anything like Robin hood was). Have a good look at the secondhand values first..
7 replicas can be cheap second had a the moment..
Personally I'd think about MK rather than the Zero (but do check it out as things have moved on with this company)...
Also the cost of build is proportional to how much time you have i.e. making donner parts fit, re-conditioning part's yourself, making bits
rather than buying and resiting expensive parts, as they all add up. Did mine on the cheap, made the body panels ect but it's taken a while
5years, (and 5 house moves that didn't help either!!)..

How's your sheet metal work? If it isn't good (and quick) then get an Indy. You'll get better resale value too, and build it
quicker.

you could by my unfinished fury for not much more! With a proper motor too.
I had a look at the set up at RH as I live near. not the same quality as other kits but you don't pay as much either.

I'd disagree with that to be honest, whatever you think of the GBS kit I reckon the proportions make it look far more 7-like that the majority
of cars at the cheaper end of the market.
Just re-read that...did you mean better as in higher quality, or a better replica as in looks more like the original?
