Why build, when you can buy?

My missus really wants a Cobra. The second hand values have just plumetted over the past year, to where I can't see it makes sense to build
your own and IVA it.

By the way, here's what Factory Five has to say about the cost of building one of theirs. They regularly survey their customers to see how
things are going.
quote:
Average customers spend between $22K and $24K dollars building their base Mk3 roadsters and it takes the average Joe less than 200 hours.
So that's the average with all the bling and the big motor guys combined with those who just rip apart a cheap Mustang and stick it inside a
Cobra shell. That includes the price of the kit I believe.

Hi Kieth.
I don't know if this is the sort of thing that your after building but this is my father in law's pilgrim sumo.
We built it around four years ago for the tidy sum of around 12k. It is still in it's origional gel coat finish but you can't tell. It has
a 3.5 rover v8 with underslung exhausts and as much chrome and leather as you can shake a stick at. I wouldn't have thought that it would cost
that much more today to build somthing like it. I think that the hardest part of building it was deffinately the bodywork, was a real pita getting all
the shut lines right on the doors and bonnet.

The best has to be the Gardner Douglas euro chassis one.
If I build again it'll be a modern themed one with an m5 lump, modern stack single dials. I worked out you could do it for £17k as I
wouldn't be paying ££££'s for chrome parts!
