I have purchased GT40 Australia(DRB) chassis #32. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif It was built and registered in 2000 by a DRB agent for a customer. I actually saw this GT40 being built, but didn't realise it was the same GT40 until I got comfirmation who built it.
It's been for sale for quite a while and really needs some TLC. It's complete, approved and has been registered since 2000.
Would prefer to build one from scratch, but for my current situation and environment buying this GT40 completed made more sense. Plus a lot has to be said for a car that is already registered and approved having just gone through the hoops to get a Cobra approved last year. Boy have things got tough lately. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
This GT40 has had a lot of money spent on it. Luckily for me the mechanicals are very close to what I would have done. The interior looks ok, don't love it, don't hate it, it will do for now. A lot of the body fittings are poor or inappropriate, so need changing. Also needs a paint, which means I can actually paint it a colour I like. This gives me the opportunity to get widened rear-end retro-fitted, change mirror locations, fit MKIII style windows, clean up ducts etc etc.
I'll detail specifics of what I'm doing in a follow up post.
Some background on me:
Built DRB Cobra with my brother in 1997, sold it last year.
Built Harrison Cobra with my brother in 2003, once it was finished I sold my half to my brother.
Been thinking about next project ever since, but house renovations have gotten in the way...
Here is a photo of it as it currently stands.
