This is going to be a pretty long introduction to the build thread. The introduction alone will span from 04 to the present. From there, I'll keep the thread updated. Hopefully I can count on you guys (and gals) to keep me on task to get this car looking good again, and performing just as well. The purchase (September, 2003):After losing my first 94 Cobra to brake failure and a (surprisingly) low speed collision with a brick column, I was on the hunt for another 5.0 Mustang. I had low hopes of finding another 94-95 Cobra that was close enough and within my budget. Two weeks into the search, and finding a few overpriced 5.0 GTâ€™s, a 1994 Cobra was listed for sale in the newspaper with no price. After contacting the seller and having a look, it was coming home with me.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-F9zQS3UcW28/T5lG4rJgNDI/AAAAAAAAAP8/VC02vtI6exI/s575/7738040016_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KH1TgIG3HRk/T5lG40s0rKI/AAAAAAAAAQE/CFW_M9joL9o/s575/7738040017_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Meet â€œVanessa.â€ There she is bone stock aside from the grille emblem, a set of FMS headers and an off-road H-Pipe.I drove her to Nashville in 2004 for the 40th anniversary gathering. My dad and my friend David (Vibrant Red 94 GT in some pics to follow) went along. During a lunch stop on the way, we happened to park next to a White '91-ish Ford Escort station wagon. An interesting juxtaposition, since my first car was almost identical to that one. <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZNnBoEXeoJA/T5lClXCW8vI/AAAAAAAAAJE/oe-HP5djpKA/s720/IM001614%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fzOKnWEx640/T5lCvk0eD6I/AAAAAAAAAJM/Xo7D7h7y_RY/s720/IM001615%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
