Hiya to everyone again.
First up let me say thanks to Dave Samson & Mike Murphy (Aussie Mike) thanks to these guys for showing me there cars.
After checking the different kit suppliers i have narrowed my decision as to which kit down to 3 suppliers with the number 1 pick being a Classic revivals car as i really like the fact that the body is not bonded to the chassis.
Second pick is Harrisons cobrakit as it seems to be a good entry level vehicle that has the bonus of being irs at a reasonable price (although i am concerned about the diff ratios available)
Third pick is the drb mainly because of cost and i think they offer free freight to any where in Australia and i suspect freight will not be cheap to my address.
well they are my choices, now i need to do some more home work and cost evaluation to make my final decision.
So if anyone has some prices as to what there car cost to assemble that would be very much appreciated also list what you fitted :ie carb/efi, irs/liveaxle, fuel tank supplier?
When i return to work on tuesday i will look for those prices as promised and let you know.
Thanks again to Dave and Mike
ps my color choice is probably going to be yellow with light metalic blue stripes , what do you guys think of that combo?

Blue and white is a bit boring and common for me
I want something alittle different

Glad to hear you're home safe, Melbourne to FNQ is a long drive in any car. I was Happy to show you my untidy workshop and I hope got a chance to look at some other Cobras on your journey. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any other questions or want me to chase up any thing down here.

Cheers
