So I have had my 80 Cobra for over a year and made vary little progress until this month. A local group is putting on benefit for a man in our area and a friend convinced me that we could get my car ready in time for the show. Not really in my plans...but why not right? :-)
When I got the Cobra it had a 351 in it and I was never satisfied with it. I wanted to put a 302 that I have had for a while in it. Also, some one had rattled canned the engine bay black at some point, and I wanted it color matched to the body, so off went the hood and we got down to business. Here are the before and after pics.
Next was the wheel situation. When I got the car, it had 10 hole wheels and itty bitty tires. I am not a particular fan of 10 holes, so I started searching and landed on 10th Anniversary Cobra wheels from LMR. We put on 87-93 brakes and spindles (man those original rotors were small!), and ordered the wheels.
I still have quite a bit to do to this car, but I am please with how it is turning out. Thanks for looking!
