Very heavy indeed.....
I plucked one out with a GM400 box, much heavier than a BW65 and could not move it once on the floor, 400kg sounds about right, not 300 that's
for sure.

So, you are finally getting the Cobra under way then.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Pretty much the same as a complete lightweight BEC then - striker etc

Indeed but you'll still be at 800kg ish about the weight of an old fiesta...
Won't handle for toffee but should work well at a drag race.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Every time I go in my back yard, I see a Cobra chassis/body and an XJ12 and think that they should be merged into a single vehicle
