Also since you haven't heard or seen the engine run, is it and the transmission good. What was the reason this guy wanted to sell it at that price which would have been a good one if everything fit. To me what you got was a combination of trying to make two different kits into one and nothing fits.

I believe you would be ahead to buy a Cobra that is from one brand and either building it yourself or look for a completed one that you can go try out and go that route.

Sorry to hear about the mess you got into but these cars need to be checked out before you buy a partially assembled one on someone's word and pictures.

Ditto here, don't take someone's problems, have the previous owner take it back, this is clear misrepresentation. I do agree, that you should have look at it "in the flesh" so to speak before you open your wallet. Albeit, you don't want to get involved in this reshuffling of parts and fiberglass. The last thing is what Ron is saying, is the engine and tranny wholesome...? do you know?
IMHO
