Here are some updated pictures of the car I bought about 4 months ago. 5 days after buying the car I fell off my house and broke some bones so I really couldn't do nothing to the car. Its finally cleaned up good, tint removed, wheels going in the right direction, and oem exhaust installed. http://s1103.beta.photobucket.com/user/932837/library/

It looks like you just brought it home from the dealer back in '93 as a new car. It really looks good, like new!

ENJOY!

Thanks Brett. Next is a paint job. I am still debating doing it myself or paying someone. Between work, family, it's hard to find free time.

WOW! Is that car in need of paint? It looks great in the pics! Nice car. You said you changed the rotation of the wheels, I noticed in one of the pics that the tires may be going in the wrong direction. Make sure they do/don't have a specific rotation. Where is Walland?

Looks good, if that was the roof you fell off of your lucky you can still walk. On the map it shows to be south of Knoxville, TN

The tires are going the wrong direction. I want to redo the wheels soon and didn't want to have the tires reversed and then take them off to paint the wheels. As for the paint the hood is cracking bad plus some other issues. That is the roof I fell off of,it was not a fun experience. Walland is 20 minutes from knoxville and gatlinburg.

I looked it up and saw it is between Maryville and Townsend which I travel at least quarterly. Beautiful area! Nice to know some Cobras exist over there. Do they ever have a Mustang show in Pigeon Forge? I know they have a ton of others. Some very nice cars are built in your area.

Oh, glad you made it out with only broken bones from a fall like that!

There is a couple of mustang shows in pigeon forge every year. I went to one 2 months ago and saw only 1 1993 cobra. What part of TN do you live in Autobahn?

I live in Murfreesboro (home of MTSU), twenty minutes south out of Nashville. When are the Mustang shows? I come up for a couple F100 shows (May, June, September) and Shades in September. Use to come to the two Grand Runs but it got to start being the same ole, same ole.

The hood and roof paint was cracking and there was a few places on the ground effects that was flaking off.

I posted some updated paint pictures. I have the front and rear bumper cover,hood, and all the side skirts finished. Also in the album I put a picture of the paint mixed for under the hood . I will start prepping the body next week and hopefully be painting it in about a month. http://s1103.photobucket.com/albums/g468/932837/
