I will then get the steering sorted and I plan to buy the engine and gearbox with my tax return in July. Hopefully will be ready for rego early to mid 2011.

I am doing the body and interior myself, so if i find myself with spare time whilst saving for parts i may get some of this done.

What did you do for a windscreen for rego? Just perspex? If there is no windsceen then you dont need wipers, or demister correct? Sounds interesting, i read somewhere some others did the same.

Exactly what you said....First. I had to beat a deadline. That deadline was to beat the new emissions rules. I had exactly 20 months to build and register the car. I did it. My engineer said that if I register it without a windscreen, I won't have any trouble with spectral gloss, wipers (3) and most importantly the demister system. There was no windscreen at all. Very uncomfortable. Not like a motor bike. The wind just blasts you. It left pressure marks on my face from my sunnies. Once the car is complete I can re engineer it with the proper specifications. As I said before this was one ugly cobra.
