Hey guys. As you saw from the title, I'm pretty much new. Lol Anyways, I'm just a 21 year old kid and I joined this sight after seeing what a lot of you have done to the sn95 mustangs and am very impressed by all of it :grin: Every bit of effort thrown into all of your guys' cars is astonishing to me. A little bit about what I have and this is.. Well.. Sad on multiple levels. I own a 96 Mustang Cobra. Very fun car, has had... Eh very little done to it by me on any level. In fact, the original owner had done far more than I ever would push to do so. I'm talking 4.30 gearing, nitrous through the engine... Actually 3 engines. lol 
Car is basically on its 3rd engine that was put it from what he said, 40,000 miles (it has 220,000 miles on it). Blew the original engine and 2nd one up and claims he's ran the current one the hardest. I actually don't know, he recognized it in the parking lot at costco and started naming things off his head thats been done to it. Anyways, that's boring stuff mostly. My dad bought the car 8 years ago, looked great. Ran awesome. $10,000 for the car off the lot. 7 and a 1/2 years later, he handed me the keys cuz he needed my truck. Since then, it kind of became mine.
Anyways, now here's the sad part. Yet confusing. The original owner said he had crashed it pretty hard into the wall on the drag strip. I did believe that because the car was recently in its second accident of its life and the body shop said the unibody is... Well its done. And had said it was done before the 2nd accident. Looks straight, but its not. The second accident was from me some how pissing off an old man going down a street and got pushed around and off the road, slammed into the side walk with my rear tire (destroyed the rim, bent the axle shaft) and took out a fire hydrant with the driver's door. BAD DAY.
Anyways all that was fixed.. Mostly.
Sorry if I'm boring. Anyways, I'm kinda stumped now on what to do with it. Do I find a donor body and rebuild the engine, through everything cobra in the donor body? Do I turn it into a parts car and find another? Anyways I'll post some pictures of the car :grin:
