Hi all,
I am new to this club and forum, but I have always been a fan of Shelby cars and especially the Cobras, definitely one of my dream cars.
My interest got more into enquiring, since I saw the kits from Factory Five Racing (FFR), as I like the idea of an all brand new parts instead of a swap in Nissan or Jaguar suspension and the likes of that. Also, they manufacture kits and spare parts on a decent scale for maybe Low Volume Vehicle Scheme and the complete kit only requires the engine, transmission, water pump, wheels and tyres.
I don't know much about the kit/replica build cars and the compliance with ADR and Victorian state laws. Has anyone in Victoria been successful in a full registration of a FFR Cobra? I read somewhere else that VicRoads, do not allow tube spaceframe chassises. In addition are working side-exhausts legal in Victoria? Furthermore, I'd like to know how good are the tonneau covers in the rain and if anyone has a removable hardtop?
I like to have an FFR Cobra kit with maybe a 5.0L Coyote V8 with the Tremac Manual Transmission, working side-exhausts and a removable hardtop. Hope to hear from you all and be in many more discussions, thank!
Cheers,
Tony
