Only jesting Paul - only jesting. Have rapped a few Kirkhams in the past - they are a lot tougher than the originals!

Hi Paul,
Nice to see you photo's and that you are making good progress. I think I would be the same and to egar to get the motor on the road. The body rubber will take some time . Still waiting on when I will place the order as things are having to go on hold . I ask Joe about going for the polished finish and he says you can use a power sander from the start. If your going brushed then you will have to get the grain direction by hand .I can post the detials . Cheers John

I've had a productive couple of days on the Cobra. All the electrics are now done and all the gauges, except the oil teperature gauge are connected. The only reason the oil temperature gauge isn't connected is because I can't get the blanking plug out of the sump where the sender goes. There isn't much room down there, but it absolutely refuses to budge.
The battery tray is now finished and painted and I'll probably bolt that in tomorrow. If I gave it some oil and petrol, I think it would start  The diff should arrive on Wednesday and that's the last large item to be installed. All being well, I should be a Stoneleigh Paul

Have you decided which SVA station you're using yet Paul?

The battery tray is now installed and looking nice and original.
 I thought I'd also upload a few close ups of the suspension as well.    And the space that is awaiting the delivery of the diff.from Ward Engineering.  The engine bay is now pretty much finished. As I had an original brass header tank, I've decided to leave it unpainted in bear metal the same as the body.
