Ok morris just for you here ya go:

Got started with the paint stripper:








All cleaned up ready for primer:










1st Copy of Primer:


2nd Coat:


3rd Coat:


Final Coat:


Lower fins prepped:






Plan is to Paint it black, clear it over and polish up the intake plate. Letting the primer dry and then on to the black :)

 

and I FINALLY found one of these...my god you'd think these things were made of gold or something:


and these new center caps were given to me by a good friend, cause she's just that cool!

 

BEFORE:


After:



Intake and plate:


Still not done yet...still have some work to do.

 

yeppers

 

Get the cobras yet?

Edit: damn beat me to it. I know those aren't cobras though

 

sorry screwed that all up....yes the cobra's are on :)

 

actually yes they are....they are 99-01 Cobra wheels, with the correct center caps.

 

I assumed cobra "R"s

 

Cobra R's are nice, but everyone has them, and you can either get the 1995 or 2000 R's....or what I have which is the 1999 Cobra's which are the lightest cobra wheels that so far have ever been produced...

here's how the car sits right now...these were taken from a track event I went to 3 weeks ago:

 

Not bad man. You said you we're lowering it? or am i going crazy?
cause then it will look super sweet. Maybe some window tint too.
but man, thats a nice lookin fox body.

 

that is lowered LOL....it has saleen racecraft springs front and back...dropped the car 2 in...can't go any lower, or i'll tear my fender's up...especially on the road course. Tint, Paint, exterior is all coming AFTER the motor is done....power before beauty :)

 

I thought it was lowered.
Don't worry I am going crazy. long day.
how's it handle? I find the old man's stock height one has a ton of body roll when your taking a corner at like 50.

 

lol it's all good. It handles actually really well, I was so far up in that green cobra's *** at the track day I could see what it had for breakfast....

I've got new tubular control arms with poly bushings coming on Thursday, that should really help tighten things up...I have weld in sub frame connectors with seats pans, so the car is relatively stiff.

 

I might have to look into some sub frame connecters for him.
He won't lower it, but the body roll is killer.

 

nice NOTCH mang

 

make sure they are WELD in...don't buy the bolt on subframe connectors.

This kit would help alot, and is basically the same setup I have.

Sweet, I'm gonna send him that link today and tell him to order it.
I'll most likely weld it in, so i won't have to worry about that

 

no problem dude :)

Got some more goodies today :)
Trick flow bushings should be here shortly....come on mail man LOL

 

Alright....all parts have arrived and are accounted for :)
