    My 97 Cobra

    I decided to start a project thread about my 97 Cobra. I got this car because I traded an 89 vert that I had started working on and had actually put quite a bit of work into thanks to Mike Bell. After driving it around for a few I decided that I'm really not a fan of convertibles. I put it up for sale and ended up trading for the Cobra. It's a 97 with all the documentation to go with it. It has a cat back exhaust, 4.10s and eibech sport line springs. Thats pretty much how I got it.

    Since getting the car I have picked up a few parts and traded off the 17 inch fr500s. The wheels make the car now in my opinion. The bronze on green looks awesome. The car currently has black leather seats but are in rough shape. The factory ones are supposed to tan so luck would have it I found a set locally. All they need is a good cleaning and conditioning. Cold air and tb should help out in the hp department some. Along with the 1/2 inch smaller crank pulley.

    The pics don't show the flaws. The clear is messed up in spots

    As of now the plan is to replace the euro taillights that are on the car with factory ones. New head lights. Needs a front bumper cover due to a tear on the passenger side. I also want to put a stock style hood on the car. Whether its a factory cobra hood or the fiberglass one HO Fibertrends makes. I'm just a fan of the scoops on the hood. I think they make these sn cobras stand out.

    Thanks man. I started a thread for the black car as well. The cobra is my main focus right now. I really want something to be able to get out and cruise around in right now.

    Nice Steve! Good to see you've made your way back! Now quit putting pics up that make me have to tilt my head! I'm too old for all that.

    Peanut butter interior looks great when it's clean and not fubarred. Those seats make it look great. We need to get it on the dyno and see where you're at.

    I agree. Getting a base line is a good idea. It has an sct tuner with it. Not sure who did the current tune but it definitely wouldn't hurt to see where we are at. As for the seats. Just gotta clean the tan seats up and swap them out. Need the windows tinted also. Not a fan of the fish bowl look lol

    You could put some black seats in there. It already has the tan/black two tone going on. You'd have to swap the seat belts to black as well to really make it look right though.

    It has black seats currently. The fronts are kinda rough especially the drivers. I bought the correct tan seats for it. They just need cleaned from being in storage for several years.

    Detailers tip for cleaning leather. Pick up one of these brushes. I use a mix of Purple Power with a nice squeeze of Blue Dawn dish soap and water. About 50/50 with the water and purple power. This brush is amazing. It will get those tan seats looking like new. Afterwards, use your favorite conditioner.

    These brushes work great on plastic panels too.

    No problem bud. I found out about these a year ago. My Carbrite dealer turned me on to them. He had to show me up to sell me on them. LoL Took a car off the lot I thought I had the leather as clean as it could get. He took one of those brushes and did a small circle and you could see a big difference.
