Twics97 Cobra build/project

Twics97 · Mar 31, 2012

Well been on the forum for a couple months so I decided to do a build thread, so I can keep track of the progress of my car. I've owned 4 fox bodies and this is my first SN95 4V....so it's a little bit of a learning curve! After being out of the Mustang scene for 15 years, I finally was at a point where I could get another one for a weekend toy and came across this one!

Pics of when I brought it home:

Clutch was shot so that was the first project

Went with the RAM HDX

The car started to feel sluggish. With no check engine light on, I decided to see if it would pull any codes....and it did for the IMRC's, so the next project was started

Dirty:

After cleaning

So then I figured while it was torn apart I might as well clean up the engine a little.

The finally product after putting it back together with the addition of MSD coil packs

So after the clutch job and cleaning the IMRC's. I started working on the looks
o f the car.

Installed Ford C-Springs and put on Black Cobra R's

Then I got bored one rainy day and decided to paint my emblems black

And here we are today, still a work in progress and have lots of plans for it. Luckily the PO did some of the work for me, like MGW shifter, Tokico's and what I believe to be UPR upper and lower control arms. It's just a start and there will definitely be more to come!

Sorry for the big pics!

Almost forgot to add! I went with the smoked Cobra lights over stockers

Have yet to drive it at night to see how bad they are

I really like what you did with the intake cover! I like detail like that plus the red isn't over done

Twics97 · Mar 31, 2012

Thanks miss, just trying to make it mine

! It's a boring build thread right now, but will slowly be building it to where I want it.

miss2slocoupe · Mar 31, 2012

Making a car your own is how people know you took time on it!

Your build thread isn't boring either atleast your actually doing stuff to your car. Some people on here make a "build thread" and say oh I put brakes on my car or oh I put tires! Lol that's not a build thread ... that's normal maintenance things you do to a car lol

Looks good dude. Intake came out nice as did the throttle body

Ferocious · Mar 31, 2012

Nice progress. The black cobra R's are a perfect match for the car.

Thanks man! Not bad for a rattle can paint job, 4 coats of red sanding each coat and 2 coats of clear.

I agree the intake looks great, hell of a job with a rattle can.

Have you considered a small red pinstripe around the edge of the rim to break up the black? You can get a vinyl pinstripe kit pretty cheap, then if you don't like it just strip them off.

Thanks. I was just trying to get a wheel out of the norm and staying within the budget I had for the car.

And 95Rio, I have thought about a red stripe on the wheel...just haven't gotten around to it yet
