Hi,

As I'm now a member of the Cobra owners clan i thought i'd best introduce myself!

I'm Tom and have recently bought a part built Dax Tojeiro - certainly cheaper than buying outright!! - although i'm now realising that it would have been nice to start from a clean slate - but hey-ho!!

I popped along to the Dax open day last saturday and saw many excellent tojeiro's (and rush's!) before the heavens opened!! and met many friendly dax owners! hi again!

well thats about it, i'll be popping on from time to time to scan for clues and pointers throughout my build!

thanks for reading!

Hi Tom.

Welcome to the Mad House Was this the dax that was on ebay a few weeks ago? If so it was a bargain :thumb: I too went the part built route with the AK and saved a fortune, One of those deals that was too good to turn away from Good Luck with it

Thanks Chris,
Thats the one - thought i'd lost it but there was a problem with the highest bidder!! phew!

well i'm hoping i can save a fortune although not really feeling it today after forking out near £1500 for an exhaust system!! it'll be worth it though

thanks again!

Chris - sorry just twigged - is your SVA next week?
would appreciate a post/email on how it goes!?!
i'm aiming to get mine sorted for early next year (promised I'd drive the groom to his wedding in it! so no pressure!!)

would appreciate any "hot spots" you get pulled up on!

Many thanks

Tom.

How much do you stiil have to do/How much is missing? Rest assured there will be a or post next week.

[big_guy_unlimited]

well they've kindly fitted engine/gearbox (rover 4.6 with 5speed - think its the sd1), jag running gear is fitted and body is on (slightly frustrating - as some bits need doing with body off, but is now glued/fitted on!!) not too much left - exhausts, cooling, interior, wheels, windscreen, hood, electrics... so not too much to do!
i'll keep an eye out for the.. next week!!

Erm, thats at about the same stage as mine was 18k later

[big_guy_unlimited]

oh don't say that!!
i'm up to about £10k now, but no interior, hood or wheels!! or sva, or windscreen, or insurance....

it'll be worth it though.. i hope!!

It Will And the nice thing is in 10 years time or longer, it's probably still worth what it cost you. Unlike a tin top that you have pay to have removed :thumb:
