Hello Cobra Club Members

[Seamus78]

Thanks for the advice Guy.
I'm a Gold Coast boy and I have basic mechanical knowledge and I can work with my hands. My only requirements for my future build is that there is no HOLDEN parts. Ford through and through. I'll look into rolling up to a club meet.

Cheers

Hi Seamus, and welcome.
I like the way you're thinking there.

Here's a link to my AP 289FIA build. The 289FIAs are the ones that won the races

Ha ha...but the originals had 'ring in' parts (Jag/Salisbury diffs etc) as well, so the bits that don't motivate it fast towards the horizon don't matter

Excuse us Seamus....just a little bit of blue vs red rivalry. As well, and just co-incidentally, my car will be blue and Dean's is ....red.

Cheers,
Glen

Well now I'm p155ed! Chevy and auto!?!?
Yikes, will this abomination be allowed to play in all the other reindeer games?
Just getting in early... Merry Christmas boys!

Glen, make sure when you're out driving with deano through those Adelaide hills, you take it extra easy. We wouldn't want poor deano bouncing off the redline just trying to keep up.

Oh yes... Welcome to the light side dear Seamus. I see the force is strong in you.

You'll come around ....

Ford's nice (and traditional) but there's just too much good Chevy gear around these days to blithely discount it altogether. Keep an open mind at this stage of your deliberations. Listen to both camps.
