Title: Cobra

It's surprising what the sun brings out. I've delivered to this house for several years without knowing that the owner's building a fibreglass AC Cobra replica. Looked like a Jag rear axle, so possibly the traditional Jag axle/Rover V8 combo?

A mate of built one of those years ago I think he put a 3litre capri engine in it.  It never left his drive as it caught fire after he did his own wiring 😁😁😁

That's why I'm not attempting my wiring!

I'm with you on some aspects of the wiring Andy 😨😯..one of my oldest friends has been building one of these for about 25 years 😥.? And still not on the road and now he's poorly and grumpy so may never see it rolling down the street?

Some people just enjoy the building process I guess, just tinkering with it now & then, without ever really expecting to finish it.
Personally, I'm not really enjoying garaging any more, but can't wait to get out & drive mine again.
