AP2289 Build log 'stage 2'

Well Glen … I am glad to see that Alfie is on the job keeping an eye on things, proper supervision is important.

From what little I know about the registration process you have to work with in Australia, it is a lot more complicated and involved than it is in California. It varies a bit in the US from state to state and I suspect it may be the same as well in South Australia versus the other five states. So in the long run, you are probably better off with an Australian built car, but you are a better judge of that than I am.

I do have plans to come to Australia once things settle down, it would be my first trip and I am looking forward to it. I suspect however, that by the time I get there, the motor & gearbox will have long since been installed and you will be out and about enjoying the open road

The lights look great! You better get back to work, Alfie is watching.

Yeah Tim, his unofficial title is my "workshop manager", and he's always outside when I'm in the garage, sticking his head in regularly checking on me.

Registration for our Cobras here in South Australia is a lot more involved than in CA. However, Victorian (Aus.) registration for Cobra replicas does sound more like your SB-100 system, but even that (Vic. reg) is changing, so I hear.

Cost of reg. here in SA for historic vehicles like my Alfa is great though, with reg. costing around AUD265 (USD170?) for 3 years, 90 days per year on a log book system. Would be nice if we can negotiate that for our Cobras with the SA government. Our club is working on it!

Tim, when you visit us here, you have a priority on the list for a ride in the Cobra!

Please stay safe!
Cheers,
Glen
