My build at the moment

[willandrache]

Hi Richard, I am chipping away at my Cobra, also 2 steps forward, one step back. I am doing most of the work myself, including body and paint. I really enjoy the fabrication side of the build and am just about to finish the stainless drop tank (I’m going to run on e85 but have fitted a flex fuel sensor)I have made all of the fuel lines in braided stainless with an fittings, made the brake lines, made the dash and fitted the gauges, made a glove box and lid, fitted all the chrome work and windscreen. Made under dash mountings for the ecu,fuse panel and relays. Mounted the radiator with brackets I’ve made. Have made a fan shroud. (I bought a sheet metal brake and went nuts) All the suspension and brakes are done - I fitted the full ap racing calipers and big discs off an R8 commodore. I ordered yesterday the afm delete with a new cam etc from America. I made my own extractors. The bodywork is about 90% done, but has taken a lot longer than anticipated due to the poor figment and alignment of the body I received. I’m looking forward to doing the wiring. Sideshow has my loom and ecu which should be done any day now. I will put some pictures up soon. It’s exciting for you to get your car painted, the real fun (IMO) begins when you can start reassembly with all the shiny bits. ��

Sounds good Will, sounds very familiar, i to bought a brake and went nuts, very handy for the ali panels and made my own shroud as well. Can you register with non standard cam, over here it as to be stock standard. I will be interested to hear how your cam swap changes your motor, ie how much extra KW and if it gives a lumpy idle. Keep updates coming mate and pictures.
