New guy

[ACLR8R]

Traded my '86 GN for an almost go-karting MK3 last night and had some questions.

Some quick info on the car;
98 cobra drivetrain (73k)
suspension (4 link) done with bilstein coilovers
fuel lines and brake lines are done
Wire Diet harness laid out on the car, but nothing connected
What seems like all of the parts, are there.


I guess my main questions are,

Any tips or tricks? I have the manuals and will be following them but didnt know if you guys recommend doing anything in a different order.

Any mods that would really make the car better? Have been looking at expanding the footbox as much as possible, and maybe making a mid shift conversion.

Who is reasonable for paint on a cobra in the valley? I know "reasonable" can be a relative term, but who does everyone use.

Anyone have a 4.6 DOHC cobra I can run questions by if and when they come up?


Thanks for any help you can give! Really excited about getting going on this project.
