smallish update: been taking care of small issues with the car. Got it smogged and registered. Changed the oil and plugs. Working on changing all the fluids. Removed that redneck trailer hitch it had as well. Issues to be taken care of:

- Rear diff fluid leak
- the typical '96 cooling issue
- Hydroboost leak

Mods planned for the rest of the year:

- swap the 3.73's for 4.10's
- Mid-pipe
- retint the windows
- rims

Spent some quality time with the Cobra yesterday. I pulled the rear cover, resealed it and added new fluid. While it was in the air, I put on a o/r H-pipe and now she sounds like a proper Cobra

Update:

- picking up a set of '95 Cobra R's today. Going for a timeless look on this car, so I decided to stay 17's and go with a classic design.
- The P/S pump is fine, but the pressure line from the pump to the Hydro-boost is leaking on both ends. So that line will be replace in the near future.

quality pics coming soon too

Black interior has started! The quarter panels are in. Next will be the kick panels, door sills and door panels once I secure some dye for the door handles. Dash will be delivered to me this week sometime so that just leaves carpet, seats and center console to purchase
