My name is Jason and I'm from outer Melbourne. In line with the common theme I have always dreamed of building/owning my own AC Cobra. I have finally gotten to a position in life where I can make the next step (wife approved) and have started doing some research and looking, have joined the club and started reading some of your posts.
I am interested in doing a build or partial build and have a background in panel beating / spray painting and metal fabrication and mechanics (jack of all master of none) so a build is not far outside my skill set.
What I have in mind is a part finished project (seems to be many around) that I can personalise to my requirements.
My dream is a big block cobra, I am not interested in racing but a lap or few on a club day is to be expected I will not be driving every day so club registration would suit my needs.
I have looked at an early kit on the Toyota chassis and although it would get me around any emission problems I'm not all that keen on 69 Toyota suspension etc not to mention any re-sale as they don't appear to be highly regarded.
So any advice on kits to avoid or which would or would not suit a BB engine would be appreciated. I have also been informed that even if it is a new registration but on club rego I may not have to comply with the emission requirements. Any experiences??
Sorry to start off with so many questions but now that I have made the decision to buy, I am having trouble containing my excitement.
Thanks
Jason.
