Hello Factory Five,
Building a Cobra has long been a dream of mine. Cost and time restraints have been holding me back but I think I have come upon a unique opportunity? I'm considering a purchase of a 1997 Factory Five Mk? Cobra. I would say that the build is about 50% complete and it supposedly includes everything to finish the build minus the gauges. I believe it was built with a 1996 5.0 Mustang donor car.

Here are my questions;
1) I know the entire kit has had numerous improvements, especially to the frame. Is there any way I can make some of the upgrades to my frame by ordering the pieces and putting them in myself?
Particularly to the foot wells and passenger roll bar mount?

2) What series car do I have here? (Mk1 or 2)?

3) Is there anything I should be concerned about with this model, safety issues in particular?

4) Can I put the stainless side pipes on the car and what will it take to do so?
I appreciate your help and I look forward to finishing this kit and doing business with you.

Sincerely,
Brad
