Why am I not surprised. It probably wasn't a GLH, either.

no it wasn't, but it was built in westmoreland where the rabbits were for awhile. had a VW transmission.

It was a HOOT...when it was working properly...

Oh and I'd buy a turbo omni in a second. talk about a sleeper/convo peice. Whens the last time you saw an omni? :lol:

Pretty sure people have been modding Mustangs well before the Golf line even existed....

:word:

People have been modding CARS decades before 'Stangs and Golfs have existed. Shit, there is probably a bigger aftermarket scene for air cooled VW's than water cooled ones. :laugh:

They have. I just never thought it was as "big" as the whole VW modding scene.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:


Ahh, children and the things they say...

Trademark issues around the Shelby name. For years, it was tied to Chrysler

Dat Omni Goes Like Hell (GLH)

Damn, I remember when those first came out. Quite fast for their day. Virtual carbon copies of the Mk1 Rabbit/GTI. MUCH less refined, but oh so quick.

Mustang cobra vs Shelby cobra.

Why are they the same name? Cobra is like amg or something?

Cobra is everything.

 

[mk6medic]

Man, I have a lot of things to do on mine.

Boost gauge.
Idler pulley.
Tensioner pulley.
Revised console.
Air vent.
Upper control arms.
Lower control arms.
License plate lights/covers.
Clean rotors.
Paint rotors.
Paint calipers.
Clean wheels.
Rebalance wheels to weights on inside.

Yikes.

It could be worse... How long do you think this will all take?

Depends on when I start!

The pulleys are normally easy, but might be hard due to the SC being in the way. UCA and LCA are easy as well. All the other stuff is simple, console will need some fabrication doe.

 

[mk6medic]

Oh, and replace PS pump. There is a leak somewhere. I figure that is a good place to start and if the leak is somewhere else, at least I know the pump is new.

This is an awesome project car, though.

Are you going to make a thread here for the progress, or just use this?

This.

I would not call it a project car fully. It is also a DD.

I did this on the Dogekota, pump and new lines were less than $100, I'd imagine the Cobra is the same. I hope your access was a good as mine!

Daily-driven mild restoration? :iono:


Either way it's awesome!

No. I would say it is not. That DOHC is massive.

Did you get the control arms installed yet? If so, how do you like them?
