But thats all i know, the other stupid reason to all this is because im stuck at home under quarantine and on my drive sat haunting my dreams is my old 1L automatic nissan micra, so basically what im trying to do is
1. find exact dimentions to build a chassis
2. find dimentions to make the body
3. transplant as much as i can from the donor car (trying to make this build an automatic)
4. up the engine to a 1.2, 1.4 (insurance is hell ain't it?)
5. fit the electrics in.
I know this is a lot but im on a fairly limited budget and working with what i have, i will appreciate all and any help throughout this terrible idea,Thanks!!

Cruel to be kind. Yes, it is a stupid build.
As others have said, don't even think about putting a 4 cylinder in a Cobra.
If you believe you have the skillset to build a chassis from scratch, dimension accurate, then a V8 driveline is easy.
