I must be out of my mind!

Back in the summer of 1999 I was talking to a friend about my dreams and how I have always wanted to own a Cobra. I was obviously talking to the wrong chap as the next thing I know I am the proud owner of a 1979 Jaguar XJ12 5.3L Automatic. He bought it (only wanting the clocks out of it) and then he thought it would make a great donor for my kit.

When you are presented with such an opportunity you can hardly pass it up so I think I'll be building a Cobra! (Yeah Right!)

How the hell do you take this :-
