Default Update on the Cobra.

Well, I got in contact with my bro, and he isnt very happy.. BUT we plan on fixing up this Stang. We are going to put back the stock Mach 460 sound system that they took out, we have plans on finding a T-56 transmission, replacing the tires, and some other minor work on the body annd other minor work. I checked out the car, and it looked like there is a bad U Joint, and the transmission is getting bad.. I took it to a friend who owns a garage, and he confirmed that the universal joint is bad, and that the transmission is in bad shape, and that whoever owned the car previously beat the crap out of the car, and probably didnt know how to drive this car.. Luckily, the stangs new owner (my bro) takes really good care of his cars. He currently owns a '97 Lincoln Mark VIII, and was well taken care for,but since he is in afghanistan, I have been taking care of his vehicles, and I own a '96 Mustang GT and I baby it, even though it is an auto. So dont worry, this stang is in good hands

Yesterday, I cleaned the **** out of the stang, for 2 hours, I was washing, waxing, cleaning the interior, checking the oil.. ect.. I took some new pictures, and I think it looks a bit better than before! I took the pictures while it was cloudy outside.

Not bad!! Definately a lot cleaner looking than the previous pics. I don't know why people would do that to a Mustang, much less a Cobra, and MUCH less a Termi. For 14K I probably would have bought it too and just went through the entire car and put it back to stock or better I'm also a project buyer myself. The GT I bought recently still has work that needs to be done but I got it for a steal so I took it, still gets me back and fourth to work reliably. GL with the Cobra, definately change those tail lights back to 03! Have fun changing the exhaust if you're doing headers. Mine took a weekend without a lift on my Cobra lol.

Thanks man. I have always wanted a 5.0 GT.. hopefully I can find a cheap one to fix up, I like your Cobra. and yea I was pretty mad at the previous owner, this car didnt look to great when I first picked it up, and my bro recently called and emailed them basically yelling at them for the condition of the car.. I would have done it also, but I dont have there email or the phone number. I felt like I accomplished something when I cleaned out the Cobra. and yea we are going to put the interior back to stock, but all others will be upgraded. We'll def. change out those tail lights.

The Full Borla Exhaust set up (used but in great condition):


Set of Nitto's 17X10.5 on the rear..and I think 17X8 on the front.. not sure, I'll have to ask my bro.



and I forget the brand of these rims.. but they are 17X10.5 rear, and 17X8 front (i think)



we are still trying to find a T-56..

Why change out the tail lights. I love the way the 99/01 tail lights look.
