Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

[95steedamustang]

Got some more work done on 94 Mustang project...
Coupler came in and was able to get the discharge mounted.

I found an oem fox throttle cable and got it detailed to match.

I finished restoring the Recaro seat plastics.
Here was my start.

After plastic welding, sanding, and some flexible primer for plastics.

I then sanded everything smooth to fill any remaining imperfections.
Then used a texture paint to recreate the grain in the pieces.

Then applied a factory match to my 94's black interior. The grain match is pretty good.

All the pieces done. I was really happy that I was able to keep the factory Recaro stickers through all the welding, sanding and primer.

This was a time consuming process, but worth it in the end.

My 8 month hunt for recline knobs for these seats had finally ended. Which is what actually inspired me to finish the rest of the covers this week. The only foam that I need to replace is the lower bolsters. I have decided to try to make the new jackets myself. I 'm probably going to go with black leather on the outside portion of the seat and suede on the center section. I'm going to use the old covers as a pattern. I have covered dozens of seats over the years but never tried to make my own. It may be a disaster...we will see?

I assure you good sir, the seats will not be a disaster. Anything you take on/fabricate turns to effing gold

Thanks man!

I decided to sell my 42 lb injectors and 90mm meter in exchange for some 60 lb injectors and an sct meter. I also got a power pipe so I can check one more thing off the list.

The car is still on a cart completely stripped to the shell. Every piece that will come off...is and some that are not meant to come on are off as well. I am still in the body work phase.

 

[RsStanG1987]

your new car looked just like mine does now except your finished product will look ten times better

I was off all the Mustang threads for awhile once I hit a dead end realizing I was not going to get mine on the road this year even though I got as far as getting the engine re assembled and the powder coated stuff looks amazing! Now I'm getting an itch to finish off all the parts I need to get and to get it running this spring. So here I am again and its nice to see that your thread is still doing well and progress is being made

I am not using the rubber 90 that came with the power pipe so I replaced it with the metal pipe and welded a 2" tube to connect to my mondo bypass and then powdercoated it black to blend it in.

Also got a bunch of little things blasted and coated, ready to install.
Horn

New motorcraft fuel filter anf powdercoated bracket to finish off the fuel lines.

Pedals
