alright, here's the deal... had a 2001 Cobra... sold it... now i have a 1993 Cobra... it needs work. it's got 170k on the clock. i picked it up last night and have already started taking care of business. i don't want to clog up the site... so i'll post a couple pics... and hopefully you guys will check out the rest of the pics on my personal site. Here we go...

i have several parts on order and few items already replaced on the car.
oh, i know the wheels are on the wrong side of the car... the damn thing has directional tires on it... so i need to get it to a shop and have the tires switched over so i can swap the wheels to the correct side. :nono:

Whew... that is rough. What'd you pay for it, if you don't mind the asking?

Thats how you get the value out of a car...Drive the shit out of it. Letting them sit only loses you $$. Fun project you have going there.

 

[stangbear427]

I'm sure the owners of those wrapper Cobras that are fetching insane amounts of money now would disagree.

What a mess................

Congrats on restoring a classic. Looks like fun...

the majority of the problems are just restoring the interior and a few odd and end pieces under the hood. The paint, well, that needs a professional, obviously. But that won't seem so bad when the rest of the car is finished.

Thats gonna be a fun project! Just remember to take photos through the whole process.

Wow. Ya, it's looks like it could use some TLC. I really like the duct tape on the arm rest......LOL!

Are you going to recover the seats to stock, or something aftermarket. I had really good luck redoing mine a few years ago. The only problem that I ran into was the correct Opal Gray. I had them send me samples and got as close to OEM as possible.
