Mach 1 update

[zTOOzLETHALz]

So before i get flamed i just wanna say im 19 and can't afford a terminator so i decided to build one from the mach. luckily it already has a T-56 magnum installed, also im not cutting corners with this. im buying all oem parts which add up pretty good lol.
so here is my 2004 mach 1 comp orange 40th anniversary. has T-56 magnum swap, short throw shifter, long tube headers, x-pipe and bassani catback.

installed 99/01 cobra tail lights with harness

i recently bought an 03/04 cobra rear bumper along with the spoiler. took them to the body shop for paint and had the mach 1 spoiler holes filled in.

bought 03/04 cobra side skirts (not painted yet)

i really might get shit for this one but i think its pretty cool, again ill always claim it as a mach 1 but im fine with having a terminator clone.

Eh, it's your car, and if it has the heart of a Terminator then whatever. But I think you're crazy if you remove the hood/shaker setup...

I'd really like the keep the hood/ shaker and get a 99/01 cobra front bumper but they are hard to come by. For the engine I plan on doing an eaton swap then buy a forged assembly then eventually Whipple it of course with upgrading other parts aswell

agreed and why not save and buy 03/04 cobra? by the time all these mods are done it will be the price of a cobra

Ohhh man are you gonna get flamed, LOL, naaaah maybe not! Nice car but I would've definately left off the Cobra rear cover... As previously mentioned though it's your's, have at it!

 

[bleedingfordblu]

ehhhhh it was a nice car, why not just keep it looking like a mach and add cobra crap to it. i mean i plan on doing an irs in mine, t56 and its already got a eaton swap but has the looks of a mach 1 so its a little different.

i definitely dont agree with the cobra badges and rear bumper though. at least get the bumper filled in.

Looking good man! I'm agreeing with keeping the shaker hood, but it's your car :beer:

its been a minute but i figured i would post here and not start a new thread:loser:

Nice build, so to do add the cobra charger, Did that cost? Thanks

 

[Thehubster]

Youre basically doing what i would like to do with my car. Slowly but surely. I love how these two cars look pushed together. I think the front end of a mach 1 with a cobra bumper is just about as awesome as you can get. Good luck with it man.

About $4k with no corners cut and upgraded parts

Your car but the first pic you posted of the mach the car looks so sweet stock with the black cobra Rs. Hope you kept all the stock parts cause you may regret it. IMO

 

[Samsred04gt]

As you can tell by my avatar I have done this and I like the looks of the termi but after awhile the front bumper and hood just didn't look that good anymore

 

[theishler]

What an absolutely awesome job you've done with the car. How is it running with the Eaton on the Mach 1 eng?

 

[Zemedici]

Good lord man - cool build, but by the time you've done all of this stuff you could have had a REAL 03-04, and not a copy, ya know? The bumper, badges, and cluster are a bit much imo....

 

[cpotts13]

Nice work.... But a mach 1 is so much more unique than a cobra... I might be biased though. Ditch the badges, and fill in the "cobra" imo. An Eaton swapped mach 1 is much cooler than a cobra clone.

^+1 I love 03/04 cobra alot but I love my mach more. I understand your appeal to the cobra but the mach is rarer then the cobra.

 

[zTOOzLETHALz]

Update, installed a 2.3 tvs :-D

 

[BONESTOCK]

Welp. At least it has a blower, so yeah....

Good work! Looks like its coming along nicely. Id hate to see that shaker go though.
