That does look awesome man. I would love to do something like that. So was there any heavy engine damage or mainly just body pieces and such.

Nothig too bad. The radiator ac etc. had to be replaced and the fender support was really bad but the only things engine wise that we have found so far are a couple of pulleys, the belt and the crossover pipe other than that a lot of little brackets clips and little things had to be ordered and the junkyard was also a great source. over all it has gone really fast. It is hard to expound the amount of body damage though, it took a lot of work and connections to a frame shop to get it done so fast. We figured it would be in the frame shop for at least two weeks and we got it back four days later. I can't wait til i get to drive it tho, my dad has taken it around the block a couple of times the last two days but i still have no idea how much of a difference it will be between it and my v6. hopefully a lot!!!

Those Cobra engines are awesome. A friend of mine did an exhaust and midpipe, U/D pulleys, CAI with 80mm maf and a dyno tune. They hit 337RWHP with just those few mods. You're gonna be veryyy happy

Damn boys, you're gonna have one sweet and fast N/A Cobra. The way that engine is going it would be pretty awesome to see a good powerful N/A DOHC.

That's an awsome project, that seems to be coming along pretty fast. Make sure you keep us posted on your progress. I bet this car is going to mean alot to you when it's done, considering the work that you're putting into it.
