FFR MK4 in Arizona

[Robertk]

Good morning all, I see there is an Arizona group so thought I would try this.
I recently set out to purchase a cobra replica, having just sold a FFR 33 hotrod I thought I would stick with FFR.

I wanted something a bit more old school, simple, carburetor... a lit more analog but not what I purchased, felt I couldn't pass the car up and now I have to make a decision to sell as is or move forward with it and thought I would reach out locally.

I didn't mind something needing any body and paint as I am in that industry and taught eom paint certification for 16 years for BASF.

I purchased a ffr cobra mk4 that has more technology than I wanted, it was an unfinished build that had been complete, assembled and driven about 300 miles before the builder had knee replacement and couldn't find someone to finish body and paint... it had been gapped, sanded and bodywork started but never finished and painted.

I got the car late Sunday before early Monday travel for business so not allot of time with the car yet.

Appeared to run and sound great but thought the oil and water temp stayed too low and oil pressure too high but now I'm hearing that might be normal and make sure the gauges aren't set to metric.

The car was a full complete FFR kit mk4, coyote Gen 1 crate motor, new TKO 600 5 speed, IRS rear, 17" halibrand replicas, etc, it was at one time completely assembled with all parts and now some stuff disassembled and in boxes, not sure what some items are... I am sure I can push through it but would sure help with some local knowledge, I would pay someone to come look at what I have or I would drive to look at one completed and hopefully an FFR mk4.

I feel this car was way over engineered for my taste with added vintage AC, hydro brakes, power steering, seat heaters, fire suppression system, foot box vent system etc.

I am trying to make a decision to move forward on it or sell as is and purchase a more old school replica.

I am hoping to find some local help if it's out there, I am in the surprise az area but again willing to drive to look at a completed one or even better someone come see what I have and a little information would be great.
