whats the matter that you say the body is done? everything should bolt right up though as its pretty much the same car.

take as many good parts from your messed up one as you can including wiring. wiring harnesses may be different but, where the k-member, trans, and many other things bolt in will match.

sounds like a lot of work and when you are done you will have a double clone since not only is it not a cobra but not a new edge. I guess it would be an interesting conversation piece but it just sounds like alot of work for????

i think you'd be better off getting a new shell and just transferring over your stuff.

time consuming

well if time = money then time consuming = money consuming

Now along those same lines:
women = time x money
time = money as we already proven so then women = money x money = money ^2 right
now we all know that money is the root of all evil right?
take the sqaure root of money then and you can there for prove that women = evil :)

for those of you that have not seen:

The transmission mounting points on a new edge are far different from a SN95. The k-members are the same. The control arms bolts are different sizes. I know the dash wiring harness is different, not sure if the engine harness can plug straight into the car. You can always use the harness that comes with the car if it is a GT or Cobra.
