Andrew, I was in the same situation 3 years ago. I now have finished my first and am part owner in a 2nd!

Never stop dreaming!

I was in the same position 3 years ago looking at building, found it a lot easier to buy a car already built and then start playing with my own mods. Saves the frustration of waiting, and still having the pleasure of personal input into your car...... not forgetting you can drive it from day one!! I live at Marsfield now and if you want to talk or visit drop me a line.

Welcome to the Forum. You've made a good start by joining up here and getting involved with the NSW club is a good idea too. That way you will make less expensive mistakes in whatever you decide on (Build or Buy).

Get along to a few events. One thing you will find is that Cobra folks are very aproachable and will be more than happy to talk your ears off about their cars. It's very easy to be passionate about these cars.

The researching stage of the Cobra project is a lot of fun. You will learn a lot and make a bunch of new friends. I've met more new friends out of this Cobra hobby than any other activity I've done.

Cheers
