I'm sure it's been a while since you've seen pictures of his beautiful Kobrah due to his untimely passing. I'm one of his best friends and i had the honor of taking the car over after his death. I've done nothing but baby the beast and have worked tirelessly to keep her beautiful and running as awesome as she looks. But anywho, here she is! It's kind of a transformation collage thingy. Goes from when I first got her to how she sits today. Enjoy! :thumbsup:
< Couple weeks after I picked her up after a good wash/wax.
- 8000k Headlight 5300K Fogs BLINDING lol
- Put in a LOT of wrench time to get her up to my standards. Maintenance was lacking. Did a TON of catch up and replacing of worn, broken, and past due maintenance. Included new Autolite plugs, FRPP wires, PCV valve, fuel/air filters, cleaning of the throttle body and injectors, valve cover gaskets, rear diff service, coolant/trans flush, all new EGR hoses and sensors, secondary air pump, coolant sensors, battery, brakes, belt, the list goes on and on...not to mention a few new upgrades as well
Still has the 94-95 tails in at this point (not a fan) couldn't wait to put the right tails in again.
- Saleens made their way back on and so did the 96-98 tails with the sequential harnesses.
- One of my all time favorite shots of the car. At dusk.
- The interior was in shambles. Had to re work all the panels so they were black like he wanted. He only had temp dye and it was fading out so I re did it all permanently. So now it's black panels and floors with tan seats and floor mats. I also had a ton of rewiring to do with the car it was a mess finally got that done at this point. Wired a custom AUX connection through the shifter bezel in the center dash.
- Ran a little warm so I nipped it in the ass and put in a dual core radiator and new t-stat.
- 2nd Annual Spring (2012) Memorial Cruise for Alex. That's me and Mrs R standing in front of the car at her house (was the first stop.) Unfortunately PhillyStangs went defunct so the cruise didn't happen this spring this was the last one sadly. Pretty much almost how the car looks today. Bumpers were repainted and the FR's are on.
- Same event/place 2012
- Tinted Tails weren't back on yet. The freshly painted bumpers are like night/day difference. (I also love my Flyers PA plate lol)
- Hours and hours of buffing and polishing results in this lol. Paint is like new and is a mirror finish now.
- Cruisin up the PA Turnpike on the Memorial Ride. (2012)
