I am sure there are a few more UK cobra guys who'd do the same.
I am not from UK, but Denmark. Reading through this story, I almost cried myself. 10 months ago, I had my own house, my own company, my first car project (A vw beetle completely restored) that I bought back after a sale + I had 2 other dream projects + 3 dream guitars (Daions) that I loved to play.

Than I got sick due to a serious moldproblem in my house. No insurrance to cover it, so everything had to go. My cars, my guitars - everything that could sell for a few bucks. The last 3 months, I have been rebuilding my house top to bottom, and in 1 week it will be completely done. So the project is almost completely finished.

Doing this time, the one thing that kept me going, was the fact, that I still had my Cobra kit. I did put it up for sale, and that broke my heart big time. It also took most of my energy out of me, because why should I care anymore? Now, I am SO pleased, that it didnt sell. Yes, I might have lost almost everything else, but you know what? My dream is still possible, and I KNOW yours are that as well. That is something worth a LOT more than money.

One thing to think about as well. Worst case senaria. You dont survive this. What will your daugther say to this, if you sold the one thing that made you happy just before that? It will be important to her, to keep it, in this case. It will be a huge part of you, that she will treasure big time.

So trust me on this, take one of the offers. Also take a break once in a while from the stress, and just work on the car. It brings a LOT more peace and rest than a good nights sleep.

All I can say is: How can I help? I am also looking for the paypal info. I dont have any parts, but I can make donations.
