Hi Glen
We just done a 1000k trip in the Fia and the wife did comment on how good the large footwell was to stretch out.
Just a thought.
I put the battery behind the Passenger seat.



Cheers

Hi Brett,

So, 1000km in the car in one trip? Well done! Did any shake-down items turn up that might interest me?

Interesting comment about the passenger-side leg room. As mentioned previously, there's sufficient room for me to "passenger" there, but because of my height, not for 1000km .....but then I wouldn't need to

Cheers,
Glen

Hi Glen
The only thing is without sound deadening and no carpet, there is a lot of heat generated through the footwells as well as every clunk echoes through the Chassis, but hey, it's a Cobra.

Glen,

Your car is coming along really well, finish line is well within site. I believe that if you take your time, be meticulous, thorough, logical and have great attention to detail in your build, which you clearly have done, you will have very few if any shake down issues.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks Richard; comments appreciated.

I'm actually just waiting for there to be a clear day weather-wise (nearly 2" of rain in the last 24 hours, as you would well know ) and also finding somebody to transport the car, and it will then go to my mechanic's workshop for the engine and gearbox to go in.
Any suggestions for car transport in Adelaide?

Cheers!
Glen

Unfortunately no recommendations, but I have major trust issues when it comes to my Cobra, I hired a trailer and did it myself. I have all the tie down
straps if you want to borrow them.
