hilux Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Westy is sold Olly should be signing up to the club soon Time for a new project Going to look at a part built Cobra. Rolling painted body, engine fitted and all the bits to finish it. Apparently its an AK ? kit and seems well put together so far.... but it has an MG live rear axle any experts out there built/seen one the same Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8ight Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 does it come with a free leather flying jacket, pilots sun glasses and a tub of hair gel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 AFAIK Ak's have always been jag based, BRA & Hawk 289 cars have MG rear axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Comprehensive home builders website here with a copy of a Which Kit? article on it as well makers website here all seem to mention using Jag donor parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.B Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 My brother in law recently did a Dax Tojero - excellent quality & pretty easy to put together. The key thing I noticed in comparison with my Westfield build was that the Dax manual did have a very close relationship to the truth Most donor parts were from a Jag.

Camel_Landy Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Olli, You pipped me to the post!

thos Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Mark Evans (from Discovery's H&L 'A Sportscar is Born' fame) built a Cobra replica on the Discovery 'Dream Machines' series. They used a 'Pilgrim Cars' kit, and used a Granada donor car. They do make it look very easy though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
