Makes a few years I was looking into these crazy cobra builds. This will be my first Factory Five Racing build but my second ‘’real big build’’. The first build was a Mini Austin 92 with a custom front and rear subframe. Front FZ1 yamaha engine with RWD. Once that one was done, I was ready to move on for the Cobra MK4.
This will not be a typical build to replicate a 100% orignal cobra. I will be adding a few modern twists here and there. Mostly for a Sunday fun car and a few tracks days.
My head was spinning for a few months for all the options i wanted to put. This will be a non-donor build.
Her is the FFR list:
MK4 kit
- Coyote Engine
- 2015 IRS
- Red Wilwood front and rear
- Koni double adjustable front and rear
- GPS gauge
- Oil cooler
- Lucas wiper to pass inspection
Engine parts
- Coyote engine 2015
- Tko600
- AC and PS
- Mid Shift
- Torsen 3.73 rear end
- All the bell and whistle that was needed to complet
Options
- Going with 18’’ Forgeline 3 pieces wheels
- R888 tires 315 and 255
- Mr Bruce Leman hardtop
- Cobra Nogaro seats
- Custom door panels to match the seats
- Kenwood Bluetooth amp
- Jl adio speakers
- Quick release and ford racing steering wheel
- Would love to go Keyless, still thinking about it.
This was my biggest challeng ever
Had a blast picking up the kit at the factory, they are really well set-uped !
Got some fresh rubbers for the mini at the same time. 315 vers 225 R13
Finally Home, Many many boxes to put in the basement
Started by drilling all the holes on the panels, Front suspension, Rear suspension, Got the panels PC
The same night that i got my parts from mike forte, with a few friends we put the tranny and motor together.
Modified the quick release that i got from a friend.
Loaded the goodies on the engine
Body work started, had to chop the roll bars 1'' 3/16 for the hardtop. Noticed that i got 2 driver side hoops.... Molded the stock plastic hood scoop to mold it to the stock hood.
Rented a body shop to shoot the primer
