Re: 8 hours to build a Cobra?

I imagine if like they did, you got a finished car and took it to peices and then just put it back together again you might be able to. I've spent over 4 hours making a bracket to hold one of the heater hoses in place so I don't think I'd manage it

....................Of sub assemblied parts.

Could do it in about 4 days (two workers 8 hrs per day each) 64 hours.........if everything turned up on time and the phone didn't ring.
Curent record 67 hours......I was younger then though.

That's at least what it takes me by the time everything has been "made to fit".
So far 9 cars built this year.

Re: 8 hours to build a Cobra?

8 hours????????????
I`ve been at mine for 2 years and it still doesn`t look much like a car
It makes nice brum brum noises though :thumb: :thumb:

200 miles of North Sea between me and the workshop, plus strangled finances don`t help much
