I agree with most of the other posters. Yes but it'll be very Spartan, you'll need to be careful with your cash (there's bargains around). And you'll need to be able to do everything yourself.
For example, mine is about 30k (and I'm not quite finished yet).
Body and Chassis Rails $6000
I used almost everything I could from the wreck. $5500 engine/trans/comp/dash/wiring, use the exchange rate to your advantage
Shopped around on ebay for bargains: Jag front end $100, rear end $200, parts from the UK (jag), land rover defender lights, Mini Headlights, rebuilt the Jag stuff myself, Lemans cap $50 from a wholesaler.
Lots of stuff made at home or with engineering companies I bartered with. Sprayed the paint myself, not perfect, but I love it.
There are many better cobras out there, but it's got my fingerprints all over it, and that makes me proud.
Remember that when you buy an unfinished project, you normally have to pay to fix the old owners mistakes.
