SHE LIVES !!!!!!!!!!

After Three and a half years...I finally got to hit the "Start" button..

Cobra LS7 First Start - YouTube

Cobra LS7 First Start...engine running. - YouTube

I was so nervous I couldn't think what I had to do...

For some reason, I was afraid it was going to jump into the wall in front of me !!

( I've done THAT before )

Is it in gear ??? What do I do...Oh yeah...turn the ignition on....ya dummy.... !!

DUH !!

REALLY happy with the work that Scotty Hampson ( Venom Fabrication) has been doing to get the car finished up to the level we wanted....Thanks pal.

He's been very particular, and pays attention to every detail.

It's been a long birth so far...but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...Hope it's not a train coming !!

BEFORE I get the usual " It's not a Corvette" comments...I can tell you that the engine covers will not look like that in the next few weeks.

and don't worry...that old steering wheel was just for moving it around...there's a nice moto lita wheel in the box with a bunch of other goodies.

Sometime this week , I'm hoping to get the car off to Dave Britton at Annvid Motor Trimmers,

Annvid Auto Upholsterers and Marine Trimmers - Repairs and Custom Trims Brisbane

for the final step....The interior.

It's all designed, and ready to install, so I'm hoping it won't take too long.

Next time I post...I'm hoping it will all be finished , and ready for rego.

Cheers,
Warren.
