Well I just wanted a legit car I could drive and mod as I went.
With it having so many issues it hasn't been worth it imo. My dad paid 3800 for the car and he got ripped off. The seller screwed him with a inaccurate description. I guy stuck with a pile. As far as everything else the car is in pretty good shape exterior and interior wise.
Maybe I would be better off just scrapping the car or selling everything off of it to recoup some money back? I had a 04 mystichrome whippled cobra before this pile. Car was immaculate. I sold it for 22k right before I got divorced.
Regret everyday selling it but I really didn't have much choice.

You should be able to recoup that money.

Cleaned up the wires for my amber tail install, took care of the LED interior upgrade and handled the black COBRA vinyl inserts on the rear bumper.

Enjoyed a beer afterwards just staring at that ass.

Didn't even think of it unfortunately. Haven't started her up since November and I'm tempted to make a cold start vid. My neighbors already hate me lol.

Yeah, I try to show a little respect by not starting the cobra late at night or early morning. But if it's daytime... **** my neighbors lol

Ya, when I decide to take the Cobra to work starting her up at 6:30 makes for some annoyed neighbors. Doesn't help that the closet ones have 1 year old twins.

That number 2 cylinder keeps posing up a misfire code. I've read online that the imrc can possibly cause a misfire.
I've replaced the plugs, wires, coils and it still keeps coming back after about 10 to 20 miles of driving.

My dad is gonna pick the car up this weekend.
I didn't want this year to begin with since I already had a terminator in the past.
He is gonna keep it for himself..and said he will help me get a 03 or 04 next year.

I removed my valve covers, timing cover, motor mounts, water pump, oil adapter, and exhaust manifolds today. I'll remove my oil pan right before I'm going to send the engine away for the rebuild.

I'm debating getting rid of the air pump and/or the EGR. I'm most likely going to keep it, unless someone gives me a good reason to get rid of it...

If someone gives you a good reason to remove it, i might do it as well lol.
