Thanks all.
Merv, cheers - it's like a weight lifted once you've beaten the system. Plenty more to be done, starting with a few "corrections" to the wheel arches, coil pack relocation, bigger scoop, full bumpers, period seats, stereo...
Slowy, I'll see you down there - provided you start making regular appearances.
Dougie, saw some photos of your car in the paint booth, looks magic. When will we see it in the flesh?
Another big thanks to everyone who helped along the way - including the forum regulars over the years. The Cobra community is unlike any other car club or online forum I've come across and it's great to be a part of it.
