I picked it up for really cheap but it needed a little work. First thing i did was put new tires on it and since one of the rims was bent, I figured it to be a good time for some 17x10.5" With 315's on the rear and 255's up front. As you can see in this one picture, its tight but they fit.
I also got all new rotors and installed the Tokio Illumina 5-Way Adjustable Struts/Shocks. The Cobra already had Eibach Sportline Springs installed.
It also already had a cheap weld-in X-pipes with no cats and 2 chamber Flowmasters. But i ditched the x-pipe it had and installed a Catted SLP X-pipe, which sounded much better and made the car emissions legal again.
Here is the list of Mods and stuff i had to change over the past year. Now she is in tip-top running condition and i still ended up paying less than i would have if i had bought one in this condition in the first place.
