As with all kit cars there are a number of kit packages available for DIY individuals like my self who is passionate about building their own car. After much debate and research, I decided to go with the Backdraft (www.backdraftracing.co.za) kit. Not only because to me it is the most apealing of the Cobra kits I have seen, but also because it is locally manufactured in South Africa which makes it a Proudly South African experience.
Backdraft Racing offers a number of kits for individuals who wish to construct their own kit cars. These ranging from the very basic body and chassis ... all the way to a complete car (like you would buy from the dealership).
My expedition to their factory in Durban, South Africa was definately a confirmation that the choice of a Backdraft Cobra is a good one. I will most likely opt for the Time Saver Kit of the Cobra Selby 427, as that provides you with most of the basics required to get started at a relatively attractive price range. Add to the mix a few trimmings, interior, engine, transmission, suspension, and viola a recipe for success.
I will be visiting them again on Wednesday to take a completed car for a spin!... I feel like a kit getting to play with a new toy.. So lets see what Wednesday brings. The trial run will either confirm my decision.... or make me reassess if this project is going to take off.
Will keep you posted.
