Again, you are better off not going to look at it without a mechanic at the very least. Forget about what you eyes and your heart is telling you, play it safe or walk away.

Thanks, I haven't built a cobra, but i have built a sandcar from ground up and swapped a few engines in my day, no expert, but comfortable with my skills. I'll be sure my head is in the game.

I'll try to keep an eye out for the little things that can turn into big things.. its a running car, just needs the finishing touches. I thought you were saying there is something inherently wrong with that builder.

PS i'm in the middle of reading your how to buy a cobra thread. Thanks
