Hi there Damian and a warm welcome to the club.

There are a couple of Cobra boys on here that may be able to help.

Mark, Pete?

[David H]

The GD is the one I would get if i was doing a Cobra build. Their stuff seems to be the nads. Looking forward to seeing it. LS power or old school?

[Richard]

Warm welcome !

Tony may well have some advice, not GD and a gradual 4 year build, but plenty of experiences to share I'm sure.

Hairy and Mark of course.

Do come along to the odd meet in a road car while you doing the build can help to be a bit of inspiration and a fun chat as you go along.

Hi Damian,

Welcome

I think you will find that gd's are a bit thin on the ground in this area, have you joined the cobra club -- loads of info there

how far along are you -- chassis, body, donor bits  - i'm only asking as I might have a few bits a pieces that could be of interest in

all the best

Pete

Hello Pilotchap. How are getting on with your car?

[Richard]

Was just wondering if Pilotchap you'd like to start a thread in the builds section and do little updates as you go ?

Would like to follow the build very much.

[pilotchap]

hi all,
bit slow on replying to people on here so sorry all. I have now finally started. I got the donor parts a 2.88:1 LSD diff and axles front and rear from a XJS. just in the process of stripping them all down. new compressor arrived today and sand blaster coming soon. want a 7 litre LSD 500bhp+ that should see it purr along nicely!

Nice to hear from you. As Richard suggests, please feel free to start a build diary with pics in the builds section. It would be of great interest to our members.

Good luck with the build.

[pilotchap]

loads of nice air tools for xmas so need some warmer weather now to get cracking. have stripped most the axle to bits need to reburb it all now! have a few pics will have to work out how to do one of these blog things.

['The Gaffer']

Good to hear you are making headway, just start a new topic under the builds section and add pics.

Pics tutorial here. http://bristolkitcarclub.co.uk/smf2/index.php?topic=253.msg1535#msg1535

Look forward to your updates

[Richard]

Excellent Chap of Pilot !

Going to be really interested to follow what you do !

Welcome.

Only 7 litres!!.......you don't do things by 1/2 measures do you!   Mind you .... you better build a fuel tanker to go with it.

What about a gas conversion ? - anyone driven an lpg car ?
