Hey Everyone, its been sometime since i posted and a lots happened with my car since. I also went through a period of wanting to sell as my standing with work wasn't ideal... Really happy i didn't sell because this thing puts a huge smile on my face every time i take it out!
So here we go -
Last October i had some really kind kids walking through my neighborhood they must have thought id be thirsty in the morning so they left me a bottle of vodka to enjoy.
Few Minor scratches on the interior but i was able to get everything fixed within the same day... Needless to say i waited by the front window the following night to see if they would pass again... I was pretty disappointed that they didn't...
Stored her for the winter
March 15th i took the ISF out of storage. As i was heading home on the highway, a 18 wheeler hadn't removed the ICE off its roof and at about 120 KPH it flew off and landed on my car.... Broke most of the front end. Insurance repaired everything, they did a great job color matching, the car actually looks better then before with no rock chips...
I got the car back in late April and decided i was going to finally pull the trigger and get PPE Headers and RR racing tune. The car sounds unreal now and drives great.
In my excitement to get the parts installed i forgot to take pics of the headers.... When i got the car back from the garage my radiator decided to let go, not sure if its something caused by mechanic or just bad timing. Spent the following day replacing it.
The bolt that connects to the AC unit decided to let go and snapped as i was removing, was such a pain to get it out. I had to grind it down and drill through then re thread...
Finally all is well!! Here are some pics of a rally i did last week and how the car sits today.

Nobody respects anything anymore. It’s a shame. I’m glad you patched her up. Looks good. I like your Cobra just as much!

Ya it was unfortunate but nothing I could do at that point. I added a dash cam now but I don’t really see it being much of a deterrent.
As for the cobra she has sadly been sitting all summer, my dads been having ECU issues. Hoping we can get it running for the fall.
