I am based on the Gold Coast (aka Cobra Central) and decided that a local workshop would be the way to go for me, leaving Harrisons or DRB as options. I dropped into Warwick's workshop one Saturday morning (only time I have available) and he talked my ear off, giving me absolutely all the information I might possibly need. The following week I attempted the same at DRB but they were unfortunately closed. I am not sure if they normally open on Saturdays but they weren't on this day. So it was either Warwick or nothing. I did like the look of the G-Force kit but distance from the workshop was a bit of an issue.

So I churned for a couple of days and the decision was made.

I now see Warwick on an almost weekly basis (usually a Saturday along with many others!) and he is always happy to help.

Along with many others I will be at the November breakfast and will be more than happy to share more details. As well as Warwick, other builders have been a great source of information for me. I have collected a reasonable set of photos and other details around the (Harrison's) build process that might be useful.

Good luck!!

What would I do without this forum, I would certainly be wandering around aimlessly. You blokes are as someone said here, a fantastic source of information. I will be trying my hardest to line up a visit with Warwick and DRB on that November meeting weekend. Thanks guys Mick

Mick, just sent you a PM with my contact details and more specifics on coming down here. More than happy to help out where I can.

You can also check out Snake Bite(Cobra accessory manufacturer) & FFF(specialises in painting Cobra's, GT40's etc) while you are down here, both will help you estimate costs involved in your build.
