I'll believe it when I see it. Plus, you realize this won't fit in the corner of Jasons garage right? oke:

If folded properly, anything will fit in there...
I've been putting the take off parts in the trunk for now. I'm going to need a good day to load up those parts and bring them to my house, so I can bring the newer parts back to his house.
Looks like the engine should be coming out this weekend. After that, I can pull all the harnesses out and start putting the Terminator wiring in.

I love seeing these swaps! Good stuff

If anyone here has done a similar swap, I'm open to any suggestions and lessons learned that you can offer...

Engine/Trans/radiator are out... Started removing chassis wiring harness in the front end. Hope to remove the roll cage and swap out the dash this week.

I'll be getting in touch with you blownnotcher, have a couple questions about fuel tank venting and ABS stuff...

Thanks Busta!

That's pretty much the same route I'm going. Hopefully I can get the dash swapped out tonight. Have a complete 04 dash that I've already dyed black to match my 97 interior. Need to order more dye for the center console, but that can wait a bit...

 

[Jcobra03]

finish mine up this week . lemme know if you need any help.

 

[lastdeployment]

Looks good! Did you use fuel tank and charcoal canister from Terminator? What did you do about the ABS module being different between the SN95 and the Terminator?

 

[98cobraRx]

Bout time. Good luck.

 

[lastdeployment]

I know, I know.... It was time to do it or sell off everything. If the temperature would cooperate, we'd be able to get things moving along.

 

[gcassidy]

Nice Chris.
Why do you need to swap the dash in a conversion like this?

 

[lastdeployment]

Not really a "need"... I wanted the Terminator gauge cluster and double DIN stero opening. The 97 dash wiring doesn't work 100% with the Terminator wiring anyway.
When it is all said and done, it will be an 04 Cobra with the 97 body.

Love it. Can't wait to see her done. Glad I could be the organ donor.

I need to pay off some shit so I can come visit Jason again, hopefully the grass has regrown out front. :nonono:

 

[lastdeployment]

I'm glad its starting to come together. Still quite a bit of work ahead, but progress is being made. Was able to get the last of the harnesses out of the engine bay this weekend. Also removed the dash and heater core. Installed the 04 heater core and pulled the interior wiring harness back to the trunk.

Pics added...

Very nice!! Staying stick axle or going IRS?

 

[lastdeployment]

It had an 04 IRS in it when I bought the rolling chassis a few years back. I'm staying with that for the foreseeable future.
