Very nice.
Do you know Jamie Craig? He lives in Perth and is building a Cobra.

She sounded good Chris!

You are making short work of it. Are you going to do the body work yourself, or send it out?

Very nice work.

Regards,

Steve

Nah sorry, I do not know of such person. If he reads this feel free to contact me to catch up.

Thanks Steve, I've had the body out with a professional painter since early December, after speaking with him today it should be ready for paint in two to three weeks. He is giving me the two doors each painted with one of my two colour choices, Viking blue and Guardsman Blue. I will then have to make the final decision! I am so torn as both are awesome classic vintage colours. Whichever one I choose will be with Wimbledon White stripes. The scoop has been glassed into the hood for the seamless look and the stripes will continue under the hood and trunk.

I wish I could say that I spent countless hours on conversion from LHD to RHD... but to be honest I purchased as a RHD Mk4 FFR kit through the local dealer here in Perth, Component Cars Australia. They had worked closely with FFR in order to develop the RHD version as well as customisations to suit the Coyote. There have still been a number of challenges along the way but life would be pretty boring without challenges!

G'day. The car sounds fantastic! Especially when you let rip a couple of times.

Gotta love the rips mate, see at 2:43... only mild throttle from standing start and she wants to slip out!

Here is what you have to look forward to! This is a clip of my MKIV Coyote up to 6000rpm. Scary to think there is at least another 1500rpm on to go before redline...

Enjoy
