Default 88 Coupe Modular conversion w/03 Cobra interior

Most of you know the 88 Coupe that I have. It was Stewart Scott's old coupe that I bought back in April. It was a 4 cyl. auto converted to a 5 speed 306. Since I bought the car, I have changed a few things on the motor and now I am gutting it and redoing it. I already have a Whippled, SRA, nitrous 03 Cobra, so on this one I plan on finding an 03/04 Cobra that has been wrecked and use the harness and interior out of it, but leaving the motor to sell the rolling shell. I have a spare 03 block that is being built for my Cobra and I'm pulling the stock block and refreshing it and probably going towards a TT setup or a larger Procharger. Ill keep updating the thread as I make progress on the car. I will also be pulling off all of the molding and replacing it along with any other worn/old parts and having the body gone over with a fine tooth comb before being repainted. Any advice or comments are appreciated. Now onto the pics and progress:

So far I have pulled the motor and removed most of the interior and pulled the harnesses out. My wife and I are moving to a new house on Weds, so once we get there, the car will go on jackstands and the suspension will come off.

Ohhh no, I'll be working on this thing day and night to what the budget allows. It will definitely be giving the Cobra competition!
