Cool my cobra build

Here's some pics of my project I bought.

The motor has a noise in it so it's getting replaced.Bought another motor for it.Here's the list of mods to the motor.
98 forged teksid block .020 over
17cc dish dss extreme x forged pistons
manley H beams
cobra crank
arp main studs
arp head studs
cometic head gaskets
mmr side bolts
cobra oil pump
mildly ported 96-98 heads complete with comp springs with 1998 cobra intake cams and 2003cobra exhaust cams.Vortech coolant crossover.Wrinkle coated black valve covers.
New steeda clutch quadrant and adjuster,new ram clutch,P/Plate and throughout bearing,new ford motorsports plug wires,and the list will go on I am sure.
All these parts on a bottom end are making 8.5 to 1 compression ratio. Parts have 16 dyno runs and about 800 miles on them.
Here's what the engine bay looks like now.


Now mind you the exteroir doesn't look now like it does in the pics.The mach 1 hood is gone and a stock black cobra hood sits in it's place.The body kit is gone and the stock back bumper and side skirts replace them in the original black.Found everything for car in used parts to replace parts I am taking off in ford stock black.(Guess just lucky)A new front bumper replaces the after market stalker bumper.The new bumper is made by ABC exclusive and is the 03-04 cobra front bumper for the 94-98 mustangs.Have a billet cobra grill on it.The car is gone to garage to have motor replaced,and waiting on powder coaters to pick up valve covers and timing cover powder coated in boysenberry and clear coated.Has a C&L CAI that I spent several nights working on and polishing by sanding powder coating off and using sand paper starting at 220 grit going to 1000 grit then using a buffer and meguiars mag and billet wheel polish and polished out to a semi chrome finish.Car then goes from garage to body shop to fix this:
[
damage done in a parking lot and door replaced because of this damage:

The car is going to be 2 toned in HOK wild cherry B/C on top and 1990 Subaru Black Mica which has tiny cherry colored metal flakes in it on the bottom.I leave out saturday to pick up a set of chrome 03-04 cobra rims in Washington PA about 3 1/2 hours from here 1 way.It's a long haul and a big projest for this car for me but it will be worth it in the end.The car has been lowered has Gripp C/C plates,short throw shifter,eibach lowering springs,alpine am/fm cd player with alpine speakers trhoughout and an alpine amp mounted to the passenger side back of seat.(it really thumps and thats without a sub box).Tell me what you guys think?This project started back in september when I purchased this car from a guy on ebay in california and had it shipped east.Anxiuos to hear your comments and will try and get some pics up as the project comes along.Hope to have some new pics soon.Thanks

I'm inspired. I rescued a 99gt last september and been slowly adding and replacing things. Thank gawd for craigslist. Would love to see pics of the project in motion.
