My build at the moment

Great photos SSV ute. Love the body stand. I have just made a stand for my body too. Hopefully I will get to work on mine in the near future. Keep up the progress photos. Its great to see a Cobra coming together.

Thanks Bender,
I had to come up with something because I only have one half of a double garage to work with. Wife's car has to be in other half. This way can roll body to other side while I work on chassis, means have to clean up all the time but is what it is.
Any pics on your build and where you are up to with it?

I bought the car as a roller but have stripped most of the suspension. Most has been zinc plated that can cause embrittlement. I have been collecting most of the parts I need. It will be a 347 windsor with Tremec 6spd manual. Its a gforce car from WA. I have an lsd for the jag rear, seats steering wheel, gauges, wheels and tyres. Most parts to complete. It has sat for a few years due to work. Just about to get back into it. I will start a build thread shortly . Once I get it cleared so I can start work on it.

Hi All,
Engine bay pretty well finished, all brake, clutch, fuel and power steering lines done. Radiator/cooling system, air intake done and battery installed. All fluids in. Next job is to modify(again) rear aluminium panel to give more clearance for larger rear wheels/tyres. I changed original manufacturers design to give more room in cab and use 16" wheels, i am now going to run 17's, i can fit them on but not enough clearance.

As alot of you guys would know it's alot of 2 steps forward and another 1 back, at least i have plenty of time with current isolation rules.

After that i will start on electrics, put some 98 in the tank and see what happens...

Nice compromise between historic chassis and new components. What suspension parts are those?

[ssv ute]

Hi Dominik,
The front end is Madza RX7 FD3S twin turbo, the rear is Nissan Skyline R34GTT but with aftermarket top control arms and with all components removed from cradle and mounted direct to chassis.
Coil overs are all Gaz Shocks from V &A Spider I in Melbourne.

I to are having A Lot of problems logging into site.
