Sorry, I have no additional photos to post at this time. The rear end work on the car is coming along. This past week I received the rear 250# springs from FFR. They had been on back-order since receiving my kit. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the rear axle/pumpkin assembly clean so that I could paint it. It is now painted and I just need to get to work putting everything together.
This past week I also sold more Mustang donor parts! The mirrors just sold a few days ago and my 89 Mustang donor cost is now down to $260.00! UPDATE! The steering rack and tires/wheels just sold! Total Donor Cost is now down to $185.00!
The 98 Cobra is now listed for sale in Auto Trader. I've had a few people stop by and look at it, but still no serious bites. I may have to fix a couple of more problems with the car before I can expect to get the $10,000 ($9,995.00) that I'm asking.. It has an undiagnosed oil leak coming from the rear of the engine. I think it's either the rear main seal or the oil pan gasket. Either way, it's at least a weekend of work to get it fixed. The oil pan gasket replacement will require unbolting the lower K-member. Sounds easy, huh?? Well the engine has to be unbolted and then supported from the top before dropping the K-Member.. If it's the rear main seal, that involves unbolting the transmission and moving it away from the engine. I'm thinking it's probably the pan gasket because the clutch in the car seems to work fine. If I understand things correctly, if the rear main seal was leaking, I would have oil running down the flywheel and on to the clutch plates, thus causing problems with proper clutch operation. I may try buying some oil dye and see if I can isolate exactly where the oil is coming from.
