    they are talking close to 6 bux gal

    Yup. Time to regulate big businesses. From what I've read at $4.00 a gallon is the price point where people really consider where they are going and is it really important. It seems that they could use this to push more of the alternative fuel crap on us though even though that technology is way...

    Progress Thread 96 Mystic Cobra Build Thread

    True about the car being so old. I guess I shouldn't feel as bad but I'm anal about my car. I have some exhaust goodies on its way to me as we speak too :) I wouldn't say it took 8 hours but it can depend on what you start with. I basically followed 04sleeper's thread on svtp. I used the...

    Overheating Problem - '97 Cobra

    These cars are known to have head cooling issues. Can you determine if it had the coolant crossover fixed? Mine does not I believe however it does have an upgraded rad to keep it cooler. It's not my DD but I still see the temps climb higher than I would like to during normal driving even.

    Depends on what your definition of blemish is haha. There is only 2 small fade spots and the rear bumper is the worst out of all of it. The front bumper has a slight fade under the passenger side as well. I have considered having just the bumpers redone but there is some small nicks in the hood...

    What buffer?

    I've heard the flex could be a great entry level polisher but I do not have any experience yet, I just washed my car today and used my porter cable to polish the exhaust up. I would do some more research into the porter cable and other machines on detailing forums. Adam's can be found at...

    Too late on that front haha. I got them powdercoated black with the cobra polished and the front brackets in silver. I think there is a picture on pg 4 of this thread of the brakes that is.

    Vote for your favorite finish on the wheels, First is a double brushed with polished lip and its shown with rivets and the 2nd is a fully polished setup. Let's hear opinions!

    Quick wax on the car. Pics inside.

    Great work man. Once you get a car properly polished its all about the care and maintenance after that :nice: Car is lookin dead sexy, if I had to add 1 thing to it I would opt for the GT hood scoop but that's it.

    If you could have 2...

    If I had a new edge or SN body style I would look at either a stock 93 teal cobra or a newer GT500. If I had the cash funds a 95 Cobra R would be on the short list as well.

    What buffer?

    Ill let ya know what I think of it. I have the porter cable and it was ok but it took too much time for me so that's why I took the plunge on a flex. My car is down at the moment without being so much as washed for 4 months. When I do use it maybe ill do a write up and post on here with pics of...

    What buffer?

    My advice would be look at Adam's Polishes. They offer made in the USA products and have a 110% money back guarantee. They are great for the DIY'er at home and have color cordinated pads and polishes vs most other companies you have to know what cutting pads go with the correct polishes. Oh and...

    For the 9K I would snag that car. He's getting a good price for it IMO and you are getting exactly what you want as well. Oh and do what you want with the car, if you want to drive it as is then by all means go for it. I know I personally cannot leave a car stock and I must add a few subtle...

    Looks great! I would say around 8-9k would be a solid price for the car. I have a buddy with a supercharged mystic and he's having a tough time trying to get 9k for his right now. The one thing that really sticks out to me is that the sticker on the motor is ledgible and looks nearly brand...

    Appears to be bone stock down to the ride height and wheels. Post up some more pictures and we can help give you some more insight into it :)

    Apparently my car loves to be on jackstands: I have started to paint interior pieces for the double din swap today though, I wasn't happy with the color but maybe it will be a more true black after another coat or 2.

    A few pics of the Mach

    The pipes are misaligned currently on his because I think he's having a slight issue with the mid pipe and cat back fitment. Also it could be the fact that he got this far and said screw it for the time being and I'll fix it later, there has been a time or 2 for me thinking that in mine..

    A few pics of the Mach

    The autozone near me had a 250ft lb torque wrench in the loaner tools so you could borrow that for a day or 2. I have been meaning to check the hubs on the IRS with it. I have a few pics in my thread for those who are looking for IRS swap info. I wouldn't say they are great, but between myself...
