Introducing my new 1/2 Terminator

[RubberDuck]

Just picked up a cobra from Pennsylvania, its a 99 cobra with an 04 terminator swap, hopefully posting it here wont get anyones panties in a bunch. I just drove it 14 hours to Minnesota getting 18MPG with no problems whatsoever.

Not sure which route I want to go with the car, have a couple things I am going to get done this winter. It has a V6 rear bumper on it that needs to go, the saleen spoiler will be taken off, and hopefully I can get the original T45 swapped out as well. Other than that I will just be looking for traction this spring, 1st gear is absolutely useless and 2nd is pretty hard to hook with as well. Has a SRA with 3.73 gears, running 295 Generals in the rear for a tire, might have to look at going to Nitto and going wider.

Feel free to leave any comments and suggestions, good or bad. Look forward to meeting you guys.

Here she is...

Not familiar with the swaps, but I would think a larger I/C fluid tank is in order. Car could certainly use some TLC and an appearance refresh. Congrats!

Not a bad looking car at all, like said could use some TLC in spots. Good luck with it.

Not bad... Your right about the spoiler, and rear bumper. Not a fan of those cowl hoods either. Also a mach 1 chin spoiler looks good on those cars.

 

[RubberDuck]

Thanks guys. Yeah some TLC is in order, thats what I actually liked about the car. Its a complete car with a strong engine, just needs some finishing touches. Not sure if I am interested in making it an 03/04 clone or leaving it look like a 99/01. Its putting down 494 to the wheels according the dyno charts the guy gave me, so thats pretty impressive for the ported eaton.

Congrats on the car, I like it man. Also, glad to hear you're taking that spoiler off, never was a fan. Enjoy cleaning it up and making it uniquely yours.

+1 for the Mach I chin spoiler.

01/03 seats?

01/03 seats?

Not sure if you are asking or suggesting here? The interior is completely stock except for the auto meter boost guage.

Looks nice. Is it actually a v6 rear bumper or a 99 cobra bumper? 99 cobra's rear bumper just said mustang on them, not cobra like the 01's.

 

[RubberDuck]

No its a v6 bumper, has no cutouts. The previous owner dumped the exhaust after the axle and put the bumper on with no cutouts claiming it looked "cleaner". I was thinking I'd just get an 01 cobra bumper, cause if I get the termi rear then I'd want to do the front as well.

Yeah, that can add up quick. One of my favorite things about mustangs is the exhaust sticking out from under the bumper so yeah I would do the same.
