HB Cosmo Drag Car

Here we go,
I have tracked down a genuine 12A Turbo HB Cosmo.

It is in fairly good shape, just perfect for this project.

I have already pre-sold the engine and gearbox so now it is time
to get started on the body.

I have stripped it totally and are now
removing all the interior under seal to keep the car as light as
possible. Once this is complete, the shell will head to my
chasis builder "Pro-Modifications" here in Sydney where it
will be converted to the following:

The expected result should look very similar to this artist impression
below:

Standby for updates as they happen.

HB Cosmo gets the chop. Check out the pics of the cosmo with no floor pan.

UPDATE - 30 June 2001

The wheels and tyres have arrived.

The 3rotor dummy block is mounted with the transmission.
The Chromoly Diff Housing is also shown.

The Chassis is coming along nicely.

UPDATE - June 2002

The Suspension is being worked on now.

UPDATE - May 2003

After a long break, we are back at it again.
The brakes and suspension are complete. Most of the
chassis is also complete. The steering column and seat
will be mounted this week and then the whole chassis will
be welded in place.
