Thats nearly finished, driving by Christmas.
You are a car guy like me, been polaying for years. I went from this. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps28tir7ha.jpg To this in just over 4 weeks, go hard Deano. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psovwjzjun.jpg But in all honesty mate, enjoy the build. |
i am spreading myself a bit thin atm still building trailer . mrs wants house painted have done some rooms , racing season is still going . and hip needs replacing but cant get it booked in till the listed jobs are done ,
i seem to be the king of unfinished projects at the moment and thats not normally me i usually like to finish one thing before starting another. your always welcome to come and stay boxhead for a month or so and kickstart my motivation lol. cheers dean |
Sorry to hear about the damage on the trip down.
I hope its not too hard to repair. Look forward to seeing the builds start when you have the time |
Put a sticker over the scratch... solved.
Good to see that you have your project there, don't forget updates and pictures. |

Well done Dean. Glad you've got it all now, and looks like you've already caught up to me! Red certainly is faster!
Bad luck about the damage. I got a bit too but I think it'll buff out. Bl00dy carriers; why is it so hard to find one that cares? |
Quote:
i dont know what the answer is maybe they need to be in a sealed box ? it all adds to the cost tho for what the carriers charge you think they could take more care cheers dean |
All about profits I suppose. Hard to make profits if you hire staff that care more and pay them more. And design better practices. Smaller loads. Etc etc.
So if the insurance rates the cartage companies had to pay where exhorbitant unless they had 0.1% damage dates, that might help cage them. Reading this insurance companies? There, problem solved. Anything else need fixing? |
i spent a bit of time last night cutting out the insulation for under the bonnet . i found a old pair of sharp dress making sissors that i got from cleaning out mums house they go thru that stuff like a hot knife thru butter.
but my hands and fingers gave way after about a hour of it so retired inside and started putting the pages from the Manuel into plastic sleeves and into a big folder i had the manual all printed out about 600 pages worth lol . hopefully have the underside of the insulation in this weekend or at least a good start on it . cheers dean |

rather than have parts stored in boxes and having to forage thru when looking for parts i bought 3 shelving units from bunnings and joined them together to make one big unit i started with two but quickly filled them so headed back down and grabbed another one.now there all layed out on shelves i can see what i have to play with .
half the bit's i have no clue where they go but im hoping it will all go together like a jigsaw puzzle, first job will be to remove the body off the chassis for better access . forgive my uber photo skills im not sure why it turned out blurry will try and grab a better shot later. cheers deano |

Well, that's what Warren Zevon reckoned anyway Or maybe the meds haven't kicked in yet? |
Ahh an Ikea cobra - fold flap A into slot B
Between this forum, the build manual, which I hear is pretty outrageous in detail and your local fellow cobraphiles I reckon you'll not stray too far wrong Dean. Have fun emptying those shelves. |

Plastic Sleeves?? I've gone old school, just paper, nothing tells a story like grease, oil and coffee stains on the pages......
|

I thought you would have it on memory stick & then play it on you tv in the man cave dean then you could see it better one old fart to another rob |
