    Nice. The Cobra ones you can rebuild and refurbish, then sell to reduce your outlay. Are you running discs out back also?

    You found the regular Cobra brakes to be insufficient? The Cobra R uses the same rotor just different calipers correct?

    Well, I have it in my head that I would like to do a track day in this car. My brother has a 2017 GT350 so we talk about maybe doing this someday. The brembo kit comes with slotted rotors, but yes you can use any cobra 13” front rotor. The regular cobra brakes are fine and they have held up well to my abuse. They will find a new home on the 94 convertible I just picked up for the Mrs. The brake kit cost more than 1994 mustang! I got the car for $1000 with a bad transmission and picked up a used transmission for $100!

    Nice looking dual caliper set up you have there. Should stop the car on a dime...

    I like the looks of the 94. I believe these cars are future collectibles. Someday they will be worth big money. But for now they're a dime a dozen. Fun that you're fixing it up for your wife.

    Thanks! I would like to do what I did to the wagon to the mustang. 351 swap and independent rear suspension... it would be like a 1994 pace car fused with a 1995 cobra r! Too bad I have to leave it automatic for the Mrs. But it would still rock!!

    It does sound like it will be an awesome car regardless.

    The Daddywagon went through some things including fuel pump failure, but it’s back on the road again... for a while anyway!

    Nice video. Police are going to use that to find you. ;)
    I would never have that stuff up on the dash to cover my view tho.
    Your car.

    Sorry, no. The best I can offer is to post on Foureyedpride forums. They have parts section and a section dedicated to alternative foureyed foxes.
