Cobra Build

Cobra out of storage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer is here and it is time to take the cobra out of mothballs again, well hopefully anyway !! First off there are a couple of things to do, firstly get the car back on terafirma, that is to get it off of the axle stands that it has been on over the winter and make sure tyre pressures are correct. The reason that you put the car on axle stands when it is going to be tucked up for the winter isthat it saves the tyres from going out of round which can happen as all the weight has been put on one part of the tyre for a long time ! Next check that the brakes have not siezed up, i always leave the handbrake off when the car is resting for a long period as this avoids the rear shoes becoming part of the rear drum. Give the battery a good charge, the battery should be disconnected whilst the car is not being used as this helps to avoid the battery building up sulphur deposits and ruining the battery. Next check oil and fluid levels, start up and let the engine get up to temperature if everything looks ok take it out and apply the brakes a few times to get rid of any rust that has built up on the brake discs and your away !!!!![:D]
