So I bought a Z3 to transform into a Kobra.
But this car is 20 years + old, so I thought I would firstly transform it to it's formal glory (my summer project), suspension, breaks, engine, exhaust (upgraded) and body to be totally restored
I have seen several Kobra kits, that could transform this car, however, I only see the body work, where do I find the lights, grill etc.

Welcome and don't distract the Kobra man. He needs to do my body sometime and I want him to concentrate on the important stuff :ymdevil:.

Are you going through CC or dealing direct with Chris? It's my understanding that CC can source everything you need. If you buy from them, it will cost the same as buying direct, but without all the problems of buying the wrong part first.

It'll be interesting to compare how we get on.

Do you have any experience with kit cars?

Hi again Peter

The guys at CC can indeed help source parts. There are a few options for most things and I can offer opinions on some of them. I've bought (more than once) items for my kobra so can steer you away from any pitfalls ive experienced.

Put together a list of what you need and keep in mind the build you want to do. What style, look, price point etc.

PM me if that helps

Dave

No distractions will ensure chap :)

Hope it is going ok in background.
