Look man, I’ve got to admit I can admire your willingness to save a cobra. I’ve had this debate a few times with members when they build race cars out of a 03 cobra versus using a V6 body, or even a GT as their platform. Would I love to see you save a cobra from its demise? Of course, I think we all deep down would love to see it happen. I think what we all are trying to say is you’re young. You’re supposed to be investing into your future while you’re young, so when you’re older you have something to lean back on. Nobody is telling you what to do, we are simply advising you as we would anyone else. We all joined a forum for one Reason or another. A vast majority joined it for the simple fact we are enthusiasts. We are here to help eachother with projects, and giving advice. If you so choose to continue down this path, I wish you the best. If I can help in anyway let me know. Just don’t lose sight of your future. Cheers bud.$22 a day for 5 years. That's what I need to get this done. Yes the car is bad. I know, I look at it every day. It's bad, but I could worse. It's got some of the terminator parts on it still, the mirrors and side skirts. I just got the wing for it. It took me a few months to find a wing at a good price but I did that. I do realize that yes this could hit a road block that I can't overcome. If that happens you will know. But if every time there was a bad Cobra we just scrapped it then there wouldn't be any more left.
The car has no structural rust. It's all just the surface and can be sanded and repainted.
That stereotypical noise from the door hinges when a door of a crashed car is not there. Surprisingly enough the car from the firewall back is in perfect shape besides some bondo on the passenger side rear quarter panel. It's fixed badly but not bad enough that It can't wait till down the road. If I go to repaint il end up redoing that myself. As far as an engine set up, I'm thinking of building that when I'm in collage as there is a high performance engines class I have to take. That's a cross that bridge when I get to it thing.
