Amazing. Never thought I would hear the word Berwyn on this forum. I grew up on Coldstream Drive and attended Conestoga HS. Small world for certain. As soon as we get some decent weather, we should all plan a meet up somewhere. I had suggested VF park simply because ....., well, just because.

Wow small world, that's very close to me. Maybe we should find a time in the next few weeks after the floods subside for everyone interested on this thread to meet up, VF park seems good to me. I'll probably have my 10 year old Maxima to bring, unless you think I can get my cobra 10 miles as it currently stands?

If only our finest at the Tredyffrin PD didn’t mind..... when you get to the point of titling, I know a shop who will help you get through the process easily and quickly.

Will do. I hope to get it inspected in gelcoat in the spring/summer-ish period. I’ve been in touch with “Blast from the Past” which I believe is up in your area, but I’ll take any suggestions you have!

That's exactly whom I was going to recommend. Sounds like your on it. Dave will take care of you. I had my car on the road in less than 3 weeks from the day he came and picked the car up until the time I had my plates. He requires you to have windshield wipers but if your not planning on implementing them, just shout and you can borrow my setup in order to get past the inspection. Will save you a 140 bucks.

That works for me. I’m probably the least important one though since I’ll be without roadster, so hopefully others can make it.

My car is in gel coat with no interior. Just will be fun to get together with those with similar interests. Roadster/no roadster, no worries. Personally, I’d love to see where your at in the build stage. I miss those go-kart days.

10:00am sounds good to me. I see you other post regarding a nagging oil leak. I'm dealing with the very same issue. I can share what I did, and what I have done to resolve it when we meet up.

Looks to be pretty soggy out there this morning from where I’m sitting. Hoping the roads dry up some. Not looking promising fellas.

RickP

I just need the roads to dry up a bit. If I am to get there by 10, I would need to leave by 9. I’m going out in just a bit to what the road conditions are like.

I just got back from a drive around here in Boyertown. Just too darn wet here and the low level clouds aren't helping matters. I would need a couple of hours for things to dry up. At least dry up enough where I am not driving through washed roads. Rained pretty hard here last night.

Good meeting you guys too. Ironically, the only car trouble we had was with my modern daily driver (my battery was dead after you guys left!).
Next sat sounds good.

Hey guys, I am in Newark, DE, a half mile from the Southern Chester County line. This thread has some years on it but I just came into the Cobra community this spring with an unfinished Mk4 for sale (from within the family). Does anyone have a buddy that admires your car and wants to finish building one? Chassis is complete (running), needs all body work & paint.
