it was like that when i bought it smart one .......anyways, im definately doin a rear 5 lug conversion next. and im probly just gonna take the hood off my 93 coupe. the car had been sitting in a garage for a couple of years while the guy was doing a cobra conversion on it, he ran into some financial problems and needed to sell it. the cowl hood flew off on the highway and the 4 eye hood was all he had layin around, that would be somewhat retarded to convert to 4 eye lol.

I think 1990coupe was referring to it's previous owner.

Posted via Mobile Deviceits in very good condition. Only problem is the rebuilt rearend makes a rubbing noise at low rpm (no higher than 2k) and when i get on it it feels like somethings holdin it back? Like possibly the rearend or jus needs a tune up. But i jus got the hood situation taken care of. Im tradin my junker 93 coupe for a 4 inch cowl hood and coil overs. And when the guys get here 2day to trade ima have them put the hood on for me since theyre getin the beter end of the deal.

ahh thats cool..there's a guy in mwc i get a lot of car parts from. his has a mini mustang salvage yard in his backyard, and usually has a lot of aftermarket parts too. as far as wheels, another member on here, EPIK, has a set of deep dish 10th anniversary cobra wheels on his coupe and they look BADASS! take a look at those or some deep dish fr500's. i have a set of deep dish saleen sc wheels on my car. pretty obvious i like dished wheels...lol.
