Hi Roger
Well you live in a great area.
I know of a number of Cobras where you are. One in Raby bay, one in Alex Hills owned by pete a regular on here, one in Capalaba (harrison) and one in a lock up in Cleveland (mine) which I can show you in 2 years when I get back. Go to the Queensland Cobra club meeting.
I think you have made a great choice and if you need any help i can give you my experiences of companies around Redlands.
Good luck what a journey you are about to take.
Bruce

Welcome Roger. Good car choice. I have recently finished my Harrison build and let me know of I can ever help. I'm at the Sunshine Coast but come to the CCC breakfasts usually.

Cheers,

Merv

Hey Roger
Welcome from another Harrison builder, this forum will be your best friend, lots of knowledgeable people kind enough to give advice, especially after you think you've driven Warwick crazy with too many questions.

Hi Roger,

Welcome to the Cobra fraternity.

I'm working in the Middle East and for many months on my coffee table was ...... a starter button . Now it's in my Cobra but a bit harder to reach from here.

Enjoy your build.

Cheers

Default The QLD International Cobra Club

Hmmm, I have been noticing that we now have a few international chapters of the QLD Cobra Club. Wazza, might be time for you to tour your subjects;

Saudi Chapter
Houston Chapter
Wisconsin Chapter
and now abandoned Beijing Chapter

How does it feel to be a ruler of the known universe?

Cameron

P.S. Apologies for the hijack
