Adding defrost vents and more prep for final dash install.
https://youtu.be/Q66AHhBVSG4?si=igZextf6t4-DEXBx
Almost time to put the dash in. Defrost is done, last bits of wiring done, and more cutting/adding clearance with the frame/body.
https://youtu.be/2BkpXYod_N8?si=T7uZbgFOeUJWmaeK
I thought I would have the dash in today. Last minute change for safety/reliability changed that.

Finally, the dash is in!

A little setback in getting my car back together.

Back on track after my setback. Things are coming together.

Finally done with wiring, but now have a new fitment issue with the custom dash.

Finally done with the custom S/C dash install.

Took the time to customize the Factory Five dash brace and make it look like a real Cobra. Very happy with the results. Here is what I did.

Now that the interior work is done it’s time to tear down the engine and save some weight while gaining some performance by installing new heads.

Update on the Cobra, starting the prep and cleanup for my new heads that are going in. Full walkthrough of parts being used as well as the weight savings.

More ground made, full valvetrain install with lash setup procedures and installed the intake manifold.
https://youtu.be/szBe5ceOpbk?si=TkyrSq6g3PONOaUB
More ground made on getting the engine back together. That much closer to the first fire with all the upgrades.
https://youtu.be/hqtFkDn9Kp8?si=fkETvJOcK8LKlRw6
Making up more ground with getting this back together. I’d say 1st start is only a week or 2 away. Getting close!
https://youtu.be/mxYGzfyojg0?si=UDhEeKzYFfqQeWl2
The engine assembly is finally done. Next up, first start after I set up the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 ECU.

After well over a year, my Cobra is finally running again after significant re-work.
https://youtu.be/TcWRJGWxUuQ?si=aY33wzm8Sy71dUCn
Time to get things ready to drive this car. Fixed the tune to get it running better and working on making it road-worthy.

She’s back on the road! Wrapped up the last few things then took it for a test drive included in this video.
https://youtu.be/NeQ93JklQQk?si=xkgWkhhjPv2ZLsBb
After about 100 miles of break in driving, I had a part failure. Fixed the problem and started some new upgrades.
https://youtu.be/A7tsOe525Qo?si=vmWyW3SWBX_Z3yA9
Starting to be able to really enjoy the car now. New tires, more car shows, and continuing with cleaning things up.

More work on the Cobra. Sunvisors, engine bay cleanup, and some show pics.

Long overdue update on my MK2 Cobra. Small issues/problems that have popped up and working on tuning the Edelbrock ProFlow 4 EFI.

Went to a show and won a trophy.

End of season updates on the Cobra and upgrade plans for the off season.

Finally time to tackle the suspension updates. Starting in the rear with coilovers and aluminum control arms.

Hey, just started working through your videos. Great stuff so far!
I find this type of work really interesting. I’m currently resurrecting a partially started or partially finished or partially built Mk3. Whatever the case, I basically ripped apart and rebuilt it.
Thanks for documenting your progress.
Thanks for watching. I'm definitely glad I decided to save one that needed a lot of work, but it's definitely a big project. When I an done it will have had pretty much every system gone through and re-done.Quote:

More progress made on the rear suspension, and a few more issues popped up in the process.

I installed the Marlin Enterprises flag kit on my car. If you have a 2” roll bar, you need to make some adjustments to the kit.

Tried to finish up the rear suspension upgrades and things have escalated. Now I’m rebuilding the rear end.
https://youtu.be/1R723FCWSoc?si=m1ko0O5y7BSTpdUo
Back to work. Time to pull the transmission while waiting on the rear end rebuild parts.

I figured it out. The transmission is out of my MK2 Cobra.

The rear end work is finally done! The brake calipers have been relocated to the front of the axle for clearance.

Time to tear apart the T5 and see if i will rebuild or replace the transmission in my Cobra.
https://youtu.be/G_spGA1GFPg?si=3cs_s2AAlzNxuVzs
Back on the transmission. I had a stripped oil fill plug that i had to get out to see if the case was reusable.
