Your car has everything from the New Edge Mustangs I love, great job OP!
Thanks!
All of these parts were always my favorites of the 99-04 cars, decided to roll them into one.

lol how does it not?
03/04 Cobra's are known as Terminators from their development stages inside Ford R&D. There for taking that drivetrain that makes a terminator a terminator and putting it in something else would make it terminated.
I may have had something to do with you getting that award OP! Well done.
The only thing I would change about this car is that gas cap cover back to stock.
You hit the nail on the head when you said you broke some necks at that cruise.
Definitely.
Great work.
Gas door actually is stock lol.
Looks great OP, reminds me of my 02 GT. Pretty much the same exterior set up except I had a Mach 1 hood and shaker on it.
Good call on the IRS. I did full poly and powder on mine and I love it. No added NVH and its still alot stiffer than stock. I would do the adjustable toe links and the FT1800's while you are in there!
Walt.....pm sentYou are doing a great job! I built a 1997 Cobra Terminator, and a 2001 Convert w/Mach drivetrain, plus I have done some others and rebuilt a few 'broken" Terminators for friends. I actually built a special dolly to sit the engine/trans/suspension onto for removal and assembly.
If I knew how to post pics, I would put up a few.
Can't wait to see your finished car!
Walt
None as of the last few days. Just been staring at my maximum Motorsport purchase in my living room lol
Doing an inventory of what I have this weekend and the Bullitt should be going under the knife Sunday.
Goal is to have the engine and trans out of the Bullitt and it back on the ground as a roller to make room for this guys gt that my engine is going into.
very nice!
Got a shit ton done tonight.
Dash Harness was swapped. Ran into a few hiccups. thought I took enough pictures, ended up taking a few minutes of staring at the harness to figure out exactly how it went. I got it done though. Gauge cluster was swapped as well. Dash is ready to go back in.
Both dash harnesses on the ground
All ready to go back in.
Next on the list, swapping the PCM Harness. This was NOT fun.
Before with 2v computer and PCM harness.
All of that bull shit had to come out of this small fire wall hole.
and it runs down the fender apron like so.
I HATE wiring.....
New computer installed and some how got that damn harness fished back through and plugged in
If anyone has ever done a clutch quadrant install while the dash and seats are in, it's lame sauce x1000. Not that it is hard, just super awkward laying on your back with a flash light. I figured this was a good opportunity to tackle this job. took me 5 minutes lol.
swapped the Cruise control box and cable over to the 03 cobra unit, Don't worry my anal retentive side took some steel wool to it and got the red over spray off LOL!
Clutch cable, and Maximum Motorsports fire wall adjuster and quadrant installed. Cruise Cable and Throttle cable all swapped over to 03 Cobra stuff.
So I ran into some issues with the Front bumper and heat exchanger. The Bullitt bumper did not have slots for the brackets. I hopped in the truck and ran to my buddy's who bought the Fobra Body. I stole the bumper off of it lol. I can either cut slots in the Bullitt bumper and order a new 03/04 cobra foam piece. Or I can spray bomb this red one green and order the same 03/04 foam absorber thingy.
While I had the heat exchanger on, I decided it was a good time to test fit the bumper cover and see what it looks like regarding the SVT.
Can barely see the SVT. I will for sure be adding a Mach 1 chin spoiler to cover the heat exchanger hanging down.
Starting to look like a terminated Bullitt engine bay,
Took care of the intercooler pump, forgot to post pics. But it looks factory.
Here is the 2 Green wires with yellow tracer I was talking about.
I went in the basement and got the old body harness from the Fobra, traced the wire to a connector in the trunk area. It was for the Fuel Pump driver. needless to say that is pretty important.
I spent the evening stripping the interior the rest of the way out to swap the entire body harness. Didn't take me very long to be honest.
Pulled the carpet out.
and one by one, started pulling christmas trees.
Bullitt Body harness all laid out.
big ass pile of interior lol
Cobra body harness laid out
I then spent an hour or so, retaping new christmas trees into the harness. I wasn't very careful pulling the body harness from the Fobra, didn't think i would need it. Well that bit me in the ass. oh well.
new christmas trees on the connecters too.
Cobra harness completely ran, all christmas trees plugged in the correct spots.
put the carpet back in and had my pops help me slap the dash back in.
ended the night with the interior completely back in!!
Tomorrow plan to paint the bumper, get the heat exchanger on solid and get the bumper cover back on and headlights back in.
Picking up my parts from powder coat tomorrow cant wait!
