Medusa - Saved from salvage

[Rentlyrent]

I purchased a 2001 True Blue Cobra Convertible a little over a year ago. After a broken hand followed by a broken foot, I've finally began fixing her. I'm making this the rebuild thread. Thanks for looking. Here is what she looked like the day I got her.

Sat for 6 years. Had to drain the tank and install a BBK 300 lph pump.

Getting the wrinkles out.

I just saw an ad for an 99/01 roller that had the motor, ecu, harness and dash removed for a truck conversion. Sad..damn sad.

STR 514's I believe is what they are called.

My 2004 SVTF was saved from the same place. I hate seeing Fords being crushed. When all is said and done I'll have right around $10,000 in the cobra. It only has 76k on it. It'll always have a salvage title but I don't care. A cobra vert with that low of miles can't be bought for 10k.

Well done!

Have fun with that car.

Nice work! Glad to see another one get put back on the road instead of ending up in the scrapyard.

These things don't get the attention the terminators do, but they are neat little cars. Props for saving one.
