Light weight that bitch with a 4G63 and a bench seat from a Job Rated Dodge.
Wheels are on. I didn't get too aggressive with the tire sizing with 255 front and 295 rear. View attachment 1759208
Yeah rear need 305. Front minimum 275. Build off to a rocky start.The original tire size was 275/40/17 all around. With 255 in the front, you went with a narrower front tire.

Because this car will be 6 figures with the miles.
If OP wants to build a cobra, buy a driver.
The end goal is the same, having a custom cobra. So why do it with a wrapper car?

I’ve never understood keep it stock until you die so your kids inherit a non modified car mentality. This car will be absolutely amazing modded!
in cases like this it seems a little confusing because they paid a premium for a low mile, stock car. If I wanted to mod a car I'd spend less on higher miles or already modded but thats me. I wont lose any sleep over itI’ve never understood keep it stock until you die so your kids inherit a non modified car mentality. This car will be absolutely amazing modded!

This is very true. I added up just the price of parts that the prior owner spent on my car and it was over $35K. He saved because he did his own work but I bet it would be double if he had to pay for labor.To “un-shitbox” a terminator it would cost well north of 40k in parts easy. That is no easy task; I have a parts list made up for my build and it continues to grow as more modern cars are just getting faster.
IMO to modernize a terminator/newedge could be done but it is a way larger undertaking than OP thinks.

I'm guessing it'll be an additional $15K-$20K for a returnless fuel system, Magnum tranny and Whipple. Modding is very expensive.
Yeah that 40k number was made before things like the gen 5 whipple and intercooler advancements. These cars are far from cheap and I am glad I don’t own a mystichrome like you guys have and had because the paint cost alone along with scarcity of replacement leather.
Please leave them black! LolReceived the 2000 Cobra R brakes. I'm going to have them powder coated a matching red to the car before installing them. View attachment 1761721View attachment 1761722View attachment 1761720

Yes, as far as I'm aware you can only purchase them as a full kit with rotors.Did you buy the full kit with the rotors?

The head tick happened on brand new cobra's just coming out of the show room floor. My car has it. Lots of people back in the day had it. and I am talking in 2003. JT on modularfords and other guys on there were running 11.20's 11.40's with basic bolt on's with the head tick. No hinder in performance. My car with the tick went 12.32 at 116mph with borla stingers and a steeda filter only. 1.97 60ft on stock F1 tiresBingo.
I know every used car can potentially have it's problems. I personally would never buy something with that low of mileage. Having a car sit for long periods of time is about the worst thing you can do. And then slap a bigger blower on top of it.
These motors as strong as they are, have had plenty of problems. And things like the head "tick" seems more common on low mileage cars.
