Alright, I finally decided to make a build thread, as I have a few future plans for the car
. So a little background, it is a 1995 Mustang Cobra, which means it was the last year of the 5.0 motor. I bought the car completely stock with around 38k miles on it, and it currently (sitting in the garage covered) has 52k. I have done a few things to the car so far, mostly to bring down the 4x4 stock ride height and increase the volume :lol: . So here it goes (as she sits now):
-Magnaflow Maganapack Catback
-BBK Off-Road X Pipe
-BBK Chrome Longtube Headers
-Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter
-H&R Supersport Springs w/ ISOs
-KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks and Struts
-J&M Caster Camber Plates
-Painted Cobra Calipers
-LED Dash Light Upgrade
-Alpine CDE-143BT Headunit
Here are some pictures as it sits now:

I have some plans for Spring Break, as I am planning on getting it and bringing it up here to JMU for the car show, along with perhaps a few more buddies with some sweet Mustangs. These plans are listed below:
Future Plans Before MM Show
-Buy a car bra (okay stick with me here, I hate them. I just want them for trips to and from Harrisonburg, and to Mustang Week over the summer; lol rock chips are not my friend)
-Put dust boots on struts (old ones wouldn't fit, had to order some)
-Remove spring ISOs for another 1/4" to 1/2" of drop
-Straighten tailpipes, and get speakers wired right
-Paint mirrors...? (Rio Red- opinions?)
After MM Show/ Before Mustang Week
-Wheels and Tires (18" Chrome Saleens w/ staggered setup- NITTO NT555 285's out back and 265's up front)
-Tint 35%
-Slotted Rotors
-Cobra R Hood
-"COBRA" Rear Bumper
-Cold Air Intake with a bigger MAF Sensor
-Throttle Body
Down The Road
-Rear gears (3.55 or 3.73- debating on)
-Dyno Chip Tune (OBDI needs a chip)
-Boost? Cam? Heads? Ported Stock upper and lower? :dunno:

I love this car, especially feel close to it because my dad has a 1995 Cobra Convertible that he bought brand new in 1994, with 4 original miles on it (his is 1 of 499). It now has 22k on it, and actually won a car show just a couple months ago. He has taught me all I know about taking care of the car, and maintaining it. Here is a pic:
