The REBUILD...
 

I'm gonna continue to update ya'll and post pics... maybe a mod could make this a sticky:poke:

OK...

Day 1...

I pulled the car into the garage...

Removed hood, front bumper cover (from under car), driver side fender, and several other misc under hood part...

A fix looks very very possible...

It seems that the strut bar stiffened the car and prevented the frame from being bent behind the struts...

The smog pump is destroyed too...

So far no major frame damage, or engine damage...

I'll post more pics tomarrow morning...

Gentlemen. We Can fix this car. We Have the Technology.

lol.....

Im glad to hear its not as bad as it looks

Moved and stickied. I wanna see it run again :)

glads its not as bad as it looks :) GL

By the looks of it the car looked non-fixable, but I am glad you feel that you can fix it...me personally, I would scrap it for parts and get a different car...but the best of luck to you and the rebuild.

alright...

heres some pics...

You can see where the frame pinched and bent... so far only frame damage is in front of the struts... so this could be a very easy chop...

more...

all that **** up front by the radiator and bumper is cheap and easy to fix...

it looks bad... but from the struts back she looks ok...

Does this mean you'll finally be getting new headlights? ;)

J/k, I'm glad to hear that you'll be able to fix it. Best of luck. :beerchug:

My headlights are gone...

I found a new small peices... but the rest must have turned to dust...

Yah... new front end

Good luck on the rebuild...

I say you get a cobra R front and cobra R hood :)

Day 2 of the tear down...

removed pass fender, front frame cross member, front bumper, radiator, fan, air pump, and some other misc stuff...

heres pics as of day 2...

more...

and a pic of my temp ride...

that would be BADASS!!

what kind of front bumper is that...

Thats what I'm lookin to do... but better... much much better:devil2:

it doesnt get better than that for looks for an sn95 IMO.....that is the single most sexyt sn95 ive ever seen, visually perfect! the ONLY thing that would make it better is a saleen wing

yah... but what kind of front bumper cover is that???

ask him..lol

guys...

I need a sight that has a nice selection of front bumper covers...

I'm starting a partlist soon

Thanks for the nice comments.
S281 wing is in the future, same with painted mirrors, 3" tips, and lowered in the rear a bit more. Thats it for visual mods...wanna turbo but might just go KB down the road!




Well mine is a OEM cobra bumper with a abc exclusive lip added on. But they sell it all as a 1pc. item. www.abcexclusive.com But the bumper is ugly as sin :bash: (lol jk I just like it still being rare and not everyone has it) The stalker is also a nice front, there is one on a vert same color as yours and it looks amazing I cant find the pics though? The 2000 cobra R bumper is alright too abc sells lots of em.

Glad to hear your fixin the car! :clap:

umm Matt94GT's car is very very very very very very very very sexy...THE sexiest 94's i have seen

ok then...

DAY 3...

The mac h pipe is bent a tad... the air line was tore from it as well...

When the engine/ tranny was pushed back, the yolk was jammed into the tranny... may be able to pull it back. The motor mounts are destroyed...

Undercarage looks fine... no major damage at all... skid plate has some bark rom the pole jammed in... and the passenger borla muffler is a little bent up...

here come the pics

more...

she is quite fixxable...

starting a part list...

looks like my best bet is to find a mustang with rear end damage...

this is gonna be a long, fun, project...

Find a wrecked cobra around your year and go for that. Swap over the entire front and then have it painted the blue color you have. While your swapping it clean every part of the engine that you can...that would look mad sick.

yah...

I need to pull the engine anyhow... i need to clear all that out to cut/ weld frame in...

And i'm gonna sand blast the engine bay, then paint it... and clean the motor real good.. also gonna pull the headers and wrap them with that exhaust wrap stuff...

lots n lots of work down the road...

I mean you have to figure if your going to be doing all this work to it might as well make it mad sick in the process....Just make sure to do it all right....don't want it breaking on you down the road.

Edit: If your engine has some high mileage you might as well go and get a bottom end for it....

I know whats I'm doin'

When its done it'll be a car show quality car...

clean as a whistle and 100% custom!

Damn man you really got the ball rolling on this thing. I am impressed! Good luck with the rebuild. I knew you could do it Greg.

OK... more pics for today...

I'm gonna stop workin a bit earlier for fathers day... my brother came over w/ my neice and sister in law...

so heres the work til now...

I marked off for ya'll to see where she needs to be cut...

frame is fine you bitchs... its fixable...

Wow you really are a neck with those jack stands you got there :beerchug: You always amaze me Greg.

welp...

Thats all for now...

Now I'm in the process of finding something to pull parts off of...

The plan... find a car with rear or side damage...

Gonna start calling junk yards and salvage yards to find a car...

will be lookin for a cobra... If I can find an SN95 cobra, (94-98) I'll yank the engine and tranny out as well... if not I'll pick up a 94-95 gt for the engine parts I need...

Also gonna get a cobra R hood (no vents)
and a nice front bumper cover... (haven't decided on which yet)

So... don't be surprised if the next group of pics has a nifty lil 281 DOHC 32V in em:devil2:

wish me luck...
This car is easily fixable...

The frame damage is ALL in front of the front struts... so it WILL ride just like it did before... I'm excited...

So nothing bounced up into your undercarrage?

i had that same bumper on my 95GT and got if from abcexclusive.com. I can't remember what it was called but it's basically a cobra front bumper with a ground effect peice molded onto it. bad thing it was fiberglass and it cracked on the first small bump that i hit, 2 days after i installed it and had it painted... i was pissed. I wouldn't buy it.

Good luck on the rebuild, can't wait to see how it looks when your done!!

lol...dukes of hazard...damn fine...i would bounce up into jessica's undercarrage any time

and man greg you are really gettin goin on that baby...

i would love to see a cobra engine put in her!!

glad to see no major frame damage...good luck!

Yah... She's all done... I tore it down in 3 days...

So... I gotta find the parts car next...

Then tear that down...

And the rest depends on my parts car:devil2:

hmm sn95 cobra sounds good!

Dude, were you in the car when that happened? Keep those pics coming there really cool, but do you thinkthat you could size them down a tad bit? Thanks!

Good job so far, Greg.
