Hi there, just a quick introduction. I have been lurking here for a while so now it's time to join in. Picked up a Harrison Christmas eve and have fiddled around since. Front and rear suspension installed and now installing the brakes. I have enjoyed all the assistance you guys give each other and hope I can tap into that knowledge when needed.
Thanks Bob

Get in touch any time we can help Bob. Lots of pics, experiences and even woes to share (still trying to get mine started)!

Hope to catch up with you at the Cobra Club at some stage.

Thanks Merv. Your posts have been a help to me already. I met you at the club meeting a couple of months ago.
Cheers Bob Sandow

G'day Bob and welcome to the forum officially. Another Harrison which is great to see. Which engine are you going to run and more (or just as) importantly, have you decided on a colour yet?

Thanks for the welcolme Paul. I'm running a 5L HO (early 90s vintage) with a T5 box. The jurys still out on the colour. Leaning towards traditional blue with white stripes at this stage.

Hi Bob
Welcome, Sounds good, a Blue manual 5L "Ford" Cobra with stripes, would you post some pics of your build for us.

Thanks
Terry.

A Ford motor, and blue with white stripes, that is almost a rarety lately.

Hi Bob, where did you get your wheels from? Ive never seen wheels like yours before.
What size are your Kumhos? Ive got some on the water at the moment and should see them in about 4 weeks. Ive ordered 255/50/17 and 285/40/17.
Be great to see more pics of your car, good luck with the build.
Regards.

Thanks guys for the welcolme
Mando, The wheels are Dragway DB51 with sand blasted centres and polished rims. Nothing radical in tyre sizes. Fronts are 225 50 16 and rears 245 50 16.
Will get some more oictures into the gallery.

Welcome, Bob. Looking forward to following your build.

I must pass by you about every other month as Nth Tamborine appears to be in a direct line between the Club breakfast and home ... or a good excuse for a great drive!!

Keep the photos coming.

Sanctuary Cove to Palm Beach via Mt Tamborine - not quite a direct line but who needs an excuse for some extra corners. Not sure if I have the right person here. Do you work in Blanck Street Ormeau

Hi Bob,
Although I'm new too - welcome. What are the rim sizes on your Dragways. I have the same wheels and am currently contemplating tyre sizes.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the welcome. Fronts are 8" and rears are 9 1/2"
