Didnt stay like that long...

First I tinted the lights and got rid of all the sundried crap that it had. and painted the chrome bumper inserts.

Then I added 10.5" wide wheels staggered with 315's on the back and dropped the car. FYI I never liked the bullits just straight traded for them with my stockers

Then took the tranny out and replaced it with a Cobra T-56 got rid of the old clutch, 10 spline input shaft, busted Throw Out Beraing retainer sleeve, and mcleod flywheel. And installed a forged liberty 26 spline input shaft, lightweight ACT 26 spline twin disc clutch and flywheel, Forged LFP TOB retainer sleeve and UPR firewall adjuster, as well as a LPW Diff girdle. SCT tune, Bassani off road X pipe, JLT cold air, 2.76 pulley, Billet Flow plenum, Accufab single blade throttle body and boost bypass was also done.

Bought a stage 4 ported blower and decided not to waste my time with it but instead I painted it and sold it.

Also upgraded my wiring from one FPDM (fuel pump driver module) to dual FPDM's with 8 ga power wire routed straight from the battery to dual 40a relays to feed the voltage I am gonna need to send to the pumps. Also ran 3 new sets of 12ga wire to the tank from the FPDM's. There is no wire loom in the pic so you can see the install. It could have been prettier but oh well.

Painted new front and rear bumpers added new rear tail lights and chin spoiler. Also picked a new set of staggered 17" black chrome SVT wheels. Threw brand new 315/35/17 Nittoe NT05R's on the rear and Proxis on the front and rolled her out. Still hadnt changed out the drivers side tail in this pic.

I still need to take pics since I have installed all othe body parts but have to wait for the sun to come out in the God foresaken state!




Installed some polished Magnaflow tails on my existing Borla Stingers. Got them as close as I could to being straight and what not. I also had my buddy tint my lights Since the AM ones werent even close to being smoked. Then decided to take some pics down by the water while the weather was good.

Thanks Man! I am no where near done with her... I like rescuing deserving cars and bringing them back to their glory.

I havent been to the dyno yet but I did remote tuning with Eric @ Brookspeed. I am currently making 20psi and 21* of timing at sea level with temps in the high 60's. Eric seems to think I should make around 630rwhp. Im not holding my breath as I am a very high mileage Terminator, but like I said by the time I am done with she will be like new. I plan on powder coating the IRS, building a stroker Teksid block and repainting the entire car since silver metallic is such a PITA to match.

gotta love going twinscrew at 130k miles lol :rockon:

in my humble opinion...the car looked better with the black "cobra" letters on the back bumper, to go with the rear blackout. i was just telling a member in another thread a week or 2 ago, that he should do the rear blackout on his silver cobra. i think it looks great. i had it done on my silver 04GT. if my cobra wasnt black, i would have it done on there, as well.

My of my, what a transformation. You've done an awesome job so far. I know you sold the ported Eaton, but your paint finish was different and looked really nice. So you painted the bumpers yourself? And although the bumper inserts are now gone, how did you paint them without damaging the letters? I'm assuming you removed the letter and then painted them. If so, I commend you for getting them off without damaging any of the letters. Gorgeous Cobra, and 130K on the clock to boot. Wow!

I have no idea.. It isnt that dark and it was put on half assed when I bought the car so its bubbled pretty bad on the rear window. Thats one of the next things on my list to take care of

Very Nice Termi! I like that you decided to just go all out and put the Whipple on it instead of the ported Eaton. Getting it done right the 1st time is the best :)
