🔧 BUILD Boostie's Dust Collecting Unicorn.... 04 Cobra

General Information

Figured I would share with you guys my build so far. This car has brought me through hell and back and slowly getting it to my liking. Originally the car had a lot of weird and show type stuff like air ride and Tv's about everywhere you could look and was lacking in power. I have removed a LOT and changed+ added quite a bit. Wanted to build this car as a quick street car so performance wise I am pretty much done. Still need some suspension tweeking and minor details changed.

Been working my ass off getting the car ready for world of wheels again this year. Last minute things include
New battery
Stinger voltmeter terminals
Re-polished IRS tail pipes
Swap drag wheels for street wheels
5 point harness mounting
Hood and bumper are currently in the paint booth
Make a new false wall
Potentially add some temporary led ricer accent lighting lol

Sneak peek from detailing under the hood yesterday. Sometime this year I will more than likely be getting all the polished parts powdercoated for less bling and maintence

Hood and bumper were finished today. The hood was new and the bumper had some holes from the previous owner put in from a grill that was on it. Got them mocked up right as the sun went down. Really pleased with the front end change up.

Ehrmagerd, so these fit without grinding?


Fronts needed a tinnnny spacer ~ 0.18" but unfortunately the rears being 15" require a grinder. I will say though 15x9 5.5 backspace have no interference with the brake caliper or banjo bolt like others do. It's a really tight fit with everything. I might order aftermarket bump steer parts as their toe links are smaller and will give more clearance in the rear

Those things don't need to be run with tires either. Read it on the internetz


No reason to have them mounted until I'm happy with the fitment
