Good stuff. I couldn't convince you to start a project thread by any chance so we can see it come together. A cobra kit is on the cards for me in the next few years and I'm keen to see what exactly is involved. Did you buy rolling chassis or weld it up yourself?

Awesome. Love the old school design of the Cobra, and combined with e-series power, what more would you want?

that looks like its gonna be pretty cool......is the chassis a modded toyota crown one or full custom chassis?
what suspension is it running? jag?? also, any plans to mod th engine? they're only 165kw but i supose it really depends on the weight of the car (i'd be tipping under 1000kg's) so it wouldnt be as much of a slug as a falcon... good luck with it....cobras are cool

Funny looking EB XR8 ;)
I thought it was going to be the EB V8 Cobra they built for Edsel Ford II (Henry Ford's grandson I think) when he came over to Australia....
