Here is a short bio of the car. I purchased it in 2009, and drove it for a while. I got bored of the wimpy little 3.8L and found a crashed Cobra for a drivetrain swap in 2010. I swapped all the drivetrain over, and sold what was left. After this I was left with a stock looking 95 with the 96 Cobra full drivetrain. I drove it for a while and enjoyed every minute of it. In the winter of 2011 I was hit by another driver on the pass. side. When going to pick up the replacement door and fender, I found the guy had a whole black leather interior also. I purchased the interior, and the body panels, and proceeded to do a interior swap. I then took the insurance check, and had the whole car repainted with some small custom touches. I then left it as it was, enjoyed it and maintained it with some small mods like a King Cobra clutch and a full stereo system. In the winter of 2012 I purchased a 99 GT roller to flip and found out it had URP suspension parts. I swapped in the URP front coilovers, Tubular K member, Tubular A Arms, Rear Control Arms, 4 Bolt Camber Plates, and Exhaust. I like that setup a lot, but the rear was too bouncy for my liking. This summer I found a crashed 03 GT with full Maximum Motorsports coilovers, Camber Plates, Panhard bar, and some other misc parts. I purchased all of that and had planned to install it all this winter. Along with these parts I picked up some other parts like a Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter, Poly Motor and Trans Mounts, Coil on Plug valve covers, and p/s reservoir bracket. Below is the biggest, and most important mod of them all for this winter. I picked up a 04 Cobra IRS with 75k miles. The rear already has MM Derlin Lower Control Arm Bushings, MM Poly Subframe Bushings, MM Diff Brace (2), MM HD Tie Rod Ends, Slotted Rotors and Hawk Pads. This rear cost $950 which I consider a steal for the parts that have been added already. Along with the IRS I am going with MM rear coilovers, a different exhaust, 03/04 Cobra Polished Rims w/ Nitto 555 tires, and maybe some custom paint on the outside.
