Before we begin restoring this 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra Foxbody, we first need to see what we have to work with. Follow us on Instagram! / cms_motorsports
Subscribed. At first i thought just another big shot that prob only works on fancier cars, but when you started going around the car and talking about the specifics, i knew he was a foxbody guy. Then then had the pics and stories to back it up. Cant wait to watch the rest of this resto.
The cracked paint is from using a piece of 1" rigid conduit or similar to roll the fender, for tire clearance, instead of using a roller and doing it the right way
Hi Nick. Correct. The previous owner use to race the vehicle and that is why he converted over to a 5-lug drum brake set-up in the rear. To fit a bigger tire back there.
Hello! We are not painting the jams on the vehicle because we are not doing a color change. All vin tags on the body panels are located in the jams. Therefore, they will not be removed to retain its originality.
Just subscribed. What a great review on the cobra. Really elaborate and detailed video. Looking forward to the Cobra restoration. I'm in the middle of restoring my 91 GT 5.0. Keep up the good work.
I'm sorry to say that that is likely NOT a 1993 Cobra. Besides the interior being incorrect like others have stated...no 1993 Cobra rolled off the assembly line with rear drum brakes. The brake booster/master cylinder combo is another dead give away. So unless someone swapped all of the Cobra specific brake parts out and replaced them with O.E.M. GT/LX 5.0 brake parts (not very likely), then this is not a 1993 Cobra. I am hoping that you continue with the build though! If you have an actual Cobra VIN (even if it's not from this car originally), you might as well make this into a Cobra.
You looking for another one? I got an all original Teal sunroof one. It's all there runs and drives. Underside is clean motor is clean paint is bad interior is bad. Looking to sell it. Let me know.
So a Cobra had 10 more hp than the regular GT. How much more did those 10hp cost you. 10,000. For less than 500 you could of changed the rear end gears and blow that car away.
