New guy..

You see, I gotta convince the missus by telling her she'll enjoy the ride too. So things like air con and sound system are part of that, and if people have done it I'd like to see how/why. Just part of the pre-build research..

Shelbyfest looks like a seriously good idea too, so I'll try to get along to that as well.. The more cars to look at, and the more builders to chat to, the better.

Ivan,

Being in Melbourne, I'd recommend a drive trip down to Warragal to see Colin/Shelly/Keith a CTC who are the importers of the Superformance (SPF) Cobra.....I purchased a "SPF" cobra through CTC last year and they were fantastic to deal with.

DadnDave's suggestion of perhaps an already registered car is also an option worth consideration.

I remember when I was at the same stage a couple of years ago, the best advice that the same guys on this forum gave me was to get out to as many of the Cobra club events like Shelbyfest, Cobra Nationals, etc as possible and invest the time to look around for what you personally like!

Good luck...

Regards....Paul

Hi Ivan,

I actaully took the plunge last year and bought a rolling chassis as I wasnt sure about my technical capabilities in the metal fabrication area.

Prior to that I spent 6-9 months research/reading and saving :-).
Visited a few kit builders (interstate as well).

I have found using this forum site for advice and background reading was the key to resolving most issues.

I am in outer east Melb as well. Feel free to drop me a PM and I can speak with you or even come round to have a look/chat.
