hee hee, now to order parts for the thing!
on my list:
rear hatch cylinders (to lift it up)
1/4 panel scoops (love those things)
turn signal flasher (kinda need that thing)
a chrome "mustang" license plate frame (the frame from a pontiac GMC dealer dont cut it (hehe been there since '78!)
im still debating on getting beefed up sway bars and a king cobra air dam
anyone know where to get rear louvers for a II?
also did the 2.8L have a 1 or 2 barrel carb? cuz i wanna know if i can put a chrome air cleaner thingie on it
EDIT: getting the sway bars for sure, and axing the king cobra front.... for now
all being ordered from Mustangsunlimited. but can someone answer my carb and louver Q's?

dunno if the M will fit.\\btw, you guys are reading the post of a 1976 cobra II owner. we drove over a hour to get to the ppls house, they were really nice. they've had the car since 78. it needs a new hatch (rust), the turn signals need a new flasher unit i think (you have to manually hit the signal switch up and down for it to engage) and the drivers seat needs some work. its drives great. sounds nice, for a 6. i live the feel of an older car. it feels stiff and sturdy, and i think the suspension is stiffer than my mom and dads cars (2 mazdas and a bimmer). even if it isnt too fast, it feels fast. i love this car.
i love the fact that its a 4speed. my dads gonna teach me how to drive it later (actually, today was the first time he drove one in god knows how long! i think he said the last time was before he moved here from Fiji in 86)
only thing is i didnt have cash on me, and stupid banks are closed on sundays. we put down a $300 deposit to hold it for the week, and sometime this week (sunday at the latest) ill give them the remainder ($2000) and it will be my baby!\
i love this car!the interior is great too, one minor tear in the leather, but thats it. AND they have the original manual and all that junk
and you know the best part? its my lil bro's Bday! i thought ahead and got him a hot wheels 68 cougar
more info later, Arin has to go to work now, and pay for those mods!
also, i looked at the front spoiler and its broken in a few places, i dont think i can fix it. not just bent, but brokwn. i think i may go with a king cobra front end from Mustang Unlimited~ insdtead
im soooooooooo happy!

i gues i need a 5 lug conversion now
a dn ed, im still kinda split on the paint. i REALLY want a 49er paint scheme, but i plan on spending my money on performance first. so when im done, it will be niner colored, but for now it will by charlies angels car
i've narrowed down my order to the flasher, the hatch back lifter thingies and sway bars.... for now. i wanna get the engine swap done with ASAP
hehe, next year, it will be smog exempt
and we know what that means for a special little cobra. i havent decided on a name yet for her though. any ideas? i like the letter "k" but im not dead set on it...
