When the car is finished, hopefully in the very near future, i will post a new thread with all of the pictures from the day I purchased the car to the completion date. That way, whoever wants to view the pictures without scrolling through an excessive amount of pages filled with responses, can easily see the pictures I have and the progression of the build. Sound good?

Thanks for the responses on the camera. I've been meaning to look into them for a while now, but since i was invested every spare penny into the Kirkham, i decided to wait. I will start my research tonight.

Have you tried photo bucket ?

I really like it, as you can store an endless amount, have different albums, resize, etc. Plus, what ever website you on, or if you're emailing, you can just paste your page on photo bucket, to anyone, anywhere, rather than sending everyone you know the save photo's and email's.

It's also very easy to use. You can upload one photo or many at one time.

You can have separate albums for say, build, engine, drive train, body, suspension etc. and separate albums for family shots, car show events......

Check it out here- Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

Look over my page as a example. I need to add more and organize,....sometime.

Anyway, you'll get the drift.

Photobucket is how i host the pictures on this site.

What i was referring to above is an action camera for filming while i am driving.

I just picked the car up from the alignment shop early this morning. Shew, 400.00 alignment bill-Ouch. They said they spent 5 hours one it.

Yikes, but let the fun begin now

Awesome time of the year to be driving around in a cobra.

I spent about the same getting mine set up, but it made a massive difference.

Have you checked the rear bump-steer? When I set mine, I ran out of adjustment. The problem I found was that as I tuned out the bump-steer by unscrewing the upper rear heim joint, it removed the negative camber and there wasn't enough adjustment to get it back again. So Sandwich made me up a new set of spacers for the inner end of the upper wishbones, which moved them further forward in the chassis by maybe 8mm. This meant I could screw theheim joints back in again and regain the camber.

I can't recall the precise figures, but I got it to something like 0.006" per inch of wheel travel, which I was pretty happy with.

On the corner balance, we got it to within 0.5kg across the diagonals with driver and ½ tank of fuel.
