    Nice car, is it an American build AC or a UK build AC ?
    Anything changed from standard on the chassis/suspension ??

    The car is and australian build DRB chassis im not sure what suspension is on it now but i will doing KONI suspension soon. also brand new brakes probably brembo.
    The car was built by a former formula ford racer and i purchased the car off him the way it is. ive added a few minor mods like intercooler/radiator and a new ignition system, new seats and rebuilt the carby as it was having problems. all in all thats about it

    Have you thought about upgrading the transmission? Something like a T-56 would go nice trying to tame 500-580rwhp

    Ouch, 20K GB pounds for a Cobra kit is steep for over here
    Guess there aren't many in Australia and they can charge more.
    What donor is used for suspension and drivetrain ?
    Sweet car tho' what are you planning to do ? Any racing, trackday or road rallying ? Or just for "cruisin"

    remember its significantly cheaper if you build them yourself.

    Very nice car. Where do you get your money from. You must have a very good job
