No worries....
It's not much of a "storage hatch" anyway.....

It came about when I was talking to the trimmer about how these Cobras are a bit tight for room, and that we are always trying to find where things can fit, without making everything so cramped.

I didn't want pockets on the doors,and he was keen to make a " secret" hatch, where you could safely leave things when you walk away from the car.

Just stuff like a few cd's, glasses case,music usb, unit key etc.

Not much of a "secret", with my big mouth I guess..ha ha.

Anyway , it was somewhere that I could use the Cobra emblem that I had asked to be recessed into to leather....
(copied that idea from looking at Neil Streeting's Cobra years ago).

I was just thinking......

I'm guessing that those who prefer their Cobras to keep to the traditional or original look, must think this sort of fussing about to be a bit prissy, and getting away from how Cobras should look.

They're probably right...

But I have always loved the Cobras...they look awesome from every angle..( a bloody hard thing for any car to achieve )....and also really like the original interior layout.

And NOTHING beats the feeling of some really hard driving in a Cobra that's been well sorted out...
But I've always admired the guys that had created an individual interior and were able to keep it looking like a SPORTS CAR.
I'm guessing its a leftover from being a spotty teenager who always wanted to have a car that I could "do up".....but I remember clearly the 2004 Nationals in Goulburn, and standing over the two Cobras owned by Audley Lloyd and Paul Gillis , and being in awe of their interiors.
I've seen plenty of nice Cobras since then, and a lot of ideas have jumped into my head, and now this is that car that I am finally getting to " do up".

It's a ton of fun.

Cheers,
