One of the Cars on car sales is mine. Out of desperation I have to sell mine. I've only just finished it. As a mechanic it still had a lot of headaches. Like Treeve said, pulling the engine in and out several times, fitting of brackets, making brackets, supports, taking the dash out several times. Then you have to hire a car trailer several times to put it on the dyno to get the emissions checked, then you have to hire a race track to road test for brakes and handling. Paying the engineer everytime. Passing the noise test. Obviously I sound biassed because I want to sell mine but I think all will agree with me, that's why many kits doesn't get finished. Getting your ambition and capability mixed up. That's how I got mine and saved a bit in doing so. So the easiest way is still the pace, but the price of the complete kit will set you back a lot more then most second hand Cobras. Have a chat with Deano.
Good luck in your choice and keep asking questions.
