Smile A new Cobra is Registered

On Tuesday 26 July we received our registration papers for our Harrison NO.102.
Delivered to my w/shop Dec.5 2009 as a body chassis, trailered to Engineering
May 25 2011 waited a month for invitation to apply for Queensland Transport Inspection and then waited another month to go over the pits all good.
Inspection time 25 min. paper work 1.75 hrs. I am not going to complain I am over the line registered.Stalled the rollers front,back & hand brake happy camper.
So now plenty of road testing around the Sunshine Coast before the next Club Breakfast.
Having some difficulty controlling the Right Foot may be its the shoes well that's my excuse anyway.
Thanks to all who have helped along the way I could not have got through with out your considerable inputs.

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks yes I will be comming down for the Breakfast with Steve and yes I will keep the lights on.
The Brakes front are standard GM rear Nissan R32 set up but finished up with a set of Green Stuff Pads yes they are dusty but they got me through without question, that was name of the game for me. Photo's after the Q C Club see the end result I will run some out.

Hey Trev,

Congratulations on the new Cobra...she's beautiful.

Some really nice touches....
I especially love that idea of the sunken badge in the nose....what an excellent little touch....

wish I'd have thought of that...

I took these shots at the breakfast on Sunday...hope you like them.













Cheers,
Warren.

They are still smiling ... or maybe it is the fact that it is Trevor's birthday?

I know there's heaps of red and blue Cobra's, but that particular red looks fantastic. Well done on achieving rego.
