Take a look at this thread,
Owner built on a budget;.
This thread will show you how to build a Cobra replica on a budget using basically a doner car. You don't have to buy all brand new parts. You can get a basic kit,a donor car and more or less swap parts out. Just be sure that you pick a kit that you can use the suspension from an available doner car.
Just a thought, not a popular one around here. But here it is anyway.
