What I have been working on

[line-em-up]

Are those FR500 wheels?

[KBScobravert]

Well, I may need a name change.

Picked up a 1994 Cobra to become the host for everything in the cobravert.



Disassembly of interior starts tomorrow. Pulling interior for cage, through floor subs. and mini tubs. When that's all done, the rest of the coupe comnes apart down to the shell. Then move over all of the suspension, motor, trans, etc

If you're going full retard on the coupe... keep the vert to drive it! You can't replace it with one as nice as it that you know everything about for what you'd sell it for.

I agree. The squeeze will be on garage space until we can build a larger garage/shop at the house.

For now it will get stripped down and sent to storage...if we go this route.

The cluster is in Mike's car which has all the MM stuff we got from you.

Balls

I am looking at chromoly Team Z k-member with adjustable arms.

There might be a #milliondollarcobrav2 coming. Tired of trying to keep a race car bottled up in a street car. Time to make a race car that should be able to drive on the street.

Still got the instrument cluster?

My advice would be make a nice sorted reasonable street car that you can drive all over the place whenever you want and then go get a race car.

I found a nice silver 1995 coupe with 128k miles and a bunch of updated suspension parts; Eibach springs, MM parts, upgraded to Cobra brakes all around, etc. I think we have come to a deal on it and if he agrees I am going to pick it up this trip home....with the wife's approval of course.

The car is BONE stock for motor and trans, right down to the air silencer and plug wires. There will be a complete dismantle of kbscobravert and the same for the coupe. Then a swap begins. And the gutted coupe gets taken to chassis shop for the works, cage, mini-tub, through floor subs, tubular front, etc

I've got stuff like an old Bassani X pipe, BBK shorties, BBK throttle body, pullies, new plug wires and coil and other odds and ends that will go into the Cobra with the otherwise stock coupe's parts. We will either drive the cobra convertible or sell it. That may depend on the wife and how much I spend on this new venture.

The question is how long do you think it will take, and will you only have time on R&R or are you returning for good anytime soon?

Chassis work will get done while I am away in between R&Rs.

Probably not going to be home for good for a couple more years. 2 right now is my plan. Then I am going to need a break for at least half a year.

I'd like to get it back in August when I come home next and knock out a bunch of it. Might be able to thrash and be on the road by then. That may depend on finances though...and the wife gonna put the screws to me on spending.

I saw you were looking for another car on facebook...

Yes, sir

[KBScobravert]

That link is fine but yes, I would pull the sway bar for drag racing.

I have my Team Z k member and a arms if you want a more drag racing oriented K member.
