Default Just wow

Point made about generic Cobra bodies for sale, but referring to the recently deceased as a sucker in response to the bereaved is on another ******* level.

Condolences to the OP on the loss of Rustyrims and hopefully he had some plan in place for fitting the body to an existing chassis. Maybe try contacting the manufacturer to see if there were any fitment options built into the body when it was ordered. If there is a pathway to completing a build without having to scratch-build a custom frame, that would definitely help your chances of getting it sold. Good luck.

Not to fund the Tiger restoration, but to give me more indoor space for the Tiger and the "7". I'm thinking it might be better for me to sell my Trailex trailer, which takes up almost enough indoor space for two small cars, and hasn't been used in almost two years. To be honest, I've pulled the FIA from my places on the web, left it here and two others, but have already turned down offers as I'm not 100% certain I actually want to sell it.

I totally understand, right now people are trying to slim down there inventory with Projects and selling older stuff.
I think if you clean the ERA up a bit and put it on BAT it might bring in mid to high 60's.
Whites a tough color....People tend to gravitate towards the British Greens and Blues/Black/Reds when it comes to the 289s
Keep us posted if you still move forward with the Sunbeam build if you cant sell the ERA
Best of Luck

Working on it, heck, almost done mechanically, tight space, but I'll make it work.
