Doc, there are two things that I can say about your comment.
That is your wife is a keeper, as is the cobra.
Enjoy both mate.
Car looks great.
Now... go change your nick as "Darkside" is reserved for those of us who recognize the value of using engines from the darkside.

Nice coupe. I really like the driving lights tucked inside the intake on the Cobra. Always liked that look, might do it to my cobra one day. Welcome to the madness. Cheers Gregg

there was no way we were going to put the clevo back into her as u can see there was no room to get at back 2 plugs either side,u couldn't even get plug leads off rear plugs,so we decided to put it back to the way it was originally built
we found an au2 efi windsor and went about taking off unwanted efi bits
so when we got all that off we sourced some goodies to put it on gas

That polished intake looks great doc. Are we talking liquid petroleum gas or laughing gas? 
1994 build year, hopefully back on the road for her 20th birthday.

all looked worse than wot it really was,no structual damage and paint was fine ,we sourced some vdo guages
a steering wheel that suited the ac was abit harder to find,the one previous owner had on it looked like it belonged on a ricer
with a lot of work the surface rust was removed and treated ,cant find pics but rust looks like errr.......rust
we went to dayleys apholstery and got similar type interior carpet and vinyl,and except for the seats which i am planning on changing when i can find lower type ,and centre console area which we were having thoughts of going manual (staying auto now .....i think  )but will get to that bit soon...doc

this is just about at the stage of finished ...so we thought ...the gm wiring kept giving us problems so ....got removed .....then the 9' clutches were not realeasing then the bearings went in diff ,the headers were built to tight so leads touching had melting probs ,the brakes were not errr braking ,then wouldnt stop braking  the dizzies were all too tall and still i have a touching bonnet issue but it closes etc etc etc lets just say i nearly rang the insurance company and told them it accidently burnt to the ground .....lots of little problems came home on tilt tray once or twice...all good now ...for now although i am getting a complaint from bearings in front pullies...the joys...and that was basically the rebuild on this ac which we registered on my birthday in april......cheers doc |

I'll have a guess.
Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium.
Sodium is used for LPG storage (I think).
Therefore to cut to the chase. Gas Cob
.... most likely way off..... just taking a break from actually working.

My first guess as well. FWIW.
Great rebuild - really like the look of the engine bay.
