Thanks for the well-wishes guys. This weekend I'll drop the rear suspension for a full inspection and assessment of damage. That and the condition of the frame, supporting structure/brackets and underbody will determine whether I do a full body-off repair or not.
Tim, I had actually reluctantly decided to put the Cobra up for sale before the accident but the involvement of working on it again may just make it more difficult to part with it. I love the current blue, but I've always been tempted to paint it a deep red, so if I end up taking the body off, I'll probably do that; but if the body stays on, it would make more sense to keep it in blue. Rebuilding the rear suspension will keep me busy for a while as well, so there's plenty of time to remain undecided.
PS: I'm sure you're having loads of fun with your beautiful Cobra. If a person is cut out for the quirks and character of these incredible little cars, conventional vehicles seem very bland and "ordinary" by comparison.
