History
Bought this car as a rolling rusting shell 2 years ago, was missing more than I expected. Many, many, MANY thousands later (buying almost all used parts too), it is on the road. Very happy, car is quite quick and a handful on the street. Can't wait to keep adding more parts.

Interior
89+ Base gray seats, no rug yet, rest of interior (plastics and headliner) OK. Considering a rear seat delete. At least I have a floor mat to hide the one hole in the floor under the clutch pedal, lol.
Exterior
Nothing yet outside of 17" Cobra rims.
Audio
None, only sound I need is the motor.
Suspension
All new suspension installed: CJ Pony tubular rear arms, Urethane bushings everywhere, new FFRP differential rubber bushings, 1995 Cobra R springs, KYG GR2 all around/with Monroe HD Quads, Steeda bumpsteer kit,2000 17"x9.5" Cobra R wheels w 255/40 up front 275/40 out back.
Custom 2 point K-Member brace and custom strut tower brace both made by me.
3:55 gears with a stock whiny T-5. Rear end is starting to sound wonky too, lol.
Can't wait to change the rear brakes to disks.
