Wow, thanks for the useful information everyone. Seems like a lot of people have gone the way of the Classic Revival kit. I guess my question would be, would you use this kit again (assuming you were a novice at building cars) knowing that the instructions were poor/could be improved?
Here are a few things that I pieced together from what I have already learnt:
-Authenticity is not a huge concern for me - I am really after a car that I think looks cool and goes down the road in one piece.
-If possible I am trying to avoid this becoming a black hole of money
, although from what I have seen that can happen with any kit.
-I am not particualarly pleased with the concept of having poor instructions (although I dont mind asking questions).
-Im located in Victoria, but dont mind getting a kit from interstate.
-I have no particular power requirements from a cobra, other than some track days which I would love to try for the first time. Im also indifferent when it comes to engine manufacturers (although in keeping costs reasonable Im sure that it will impact on engine type etc).
