Ordered and holding deposit paid in September,which then got Dean on the build order.
Normally then it is something like 3-6 weeks until the build starts...
With the Nationals and a busy period,the build started after 8 weeks...
then it was 12 weeks for the body and chassis to be built...(we usually allow 12-16weeks)
I would never have imagined we could have finished the build by Christmas.
That 12 weeks took it up to February, and since then,we've completed a full detail,and fitted all suspension brakes and steering.
During all of this I have sent a ton of updated photos / email updates etc., but I know I've heard that "Christmas delivery" a few times now,but the build only started in November,so we couldn't make it a Christmas present unfortunately.
We have had some delays now fitting the Auto gearbox,and I'm hoping it won't be much longer...( we could do with about 4 more staff at the moment,and hope well have that sorted in the next week or so)
I know Dean is very keen to get her home,and were doing our best.
I know we should be quicker with some builds,and I know that it seems like a long wait....but at least it's certainly improved from days gone bye,when many of us took YEARS to get a Cobra finished..( mine nearly killed me waiting for over FOUR years).
We will continue to do our best,and with the extra staff,should be back to full PACE very soon.
Cheers,
Warren
