EDIT- Finally back from paint and headed back together!!! 12-26-14
Whats up guys,
So Ive always had a soft spot for the SN95 style and have always wanted to get a terminator setup going, but never found the right donor. Anyway I was cruising Ebay and found a clean 27k mile chrome yellow Cobra roller east of St. Louis, Im in eastern PA, so me and the girl made a weekend trip out and bought the car.
Then about a month or so ago I came across 97StangSVT's 03 Cobra part out thread which was pretty local so I got down there and checked it out. One owner, 12k mile stock cobra that got pretty torn up in a wreck. So we made a deal to buy the complete drive line in the shell still. I picked the car up last weekend and got it stripped down so that brings me to now.
Like others before, doing the complete swap, fuel system, harnesses, etc etc. Planning to do a ported blower, pulleys, exhaust and all the other bolt ons to hopefully get me around 500hp to the wheels. So enough talking, heres some pics to get this build started.
Here she is at the previous owners.
On the trailer, ready for her journey home.
Interior and front clip stripped off, ready for its new parts!
Heres the donor, getting ready to lift it off the trailer with a boom. It was a bit of a hard time getting it on the trailer and I cant thank 97StangSVT enough for the help getting it done.
Up in the air.
Out comes the heart of the swap and on the stand!
Here she is all stripped out and ready to be scrapped
Anyway thats where Im at for now. The shells getting picked up Saturday morning, them the 98 comes back and the swap begins.
Let me know you guys think! Im sure ill have some questions, so if youve done this swap, please chime in!
