Reminds me of my early days, exploring in my Cobra Mk III!
Hopefully you'll collect the funds for your remaining upgrades (especially the big fuel scoop can cost a pretty penny) soon, exploring is one of the most fun things you can do in Elite: Dangerous!

I've found a system close to I Bootis, LT 350 or something (can't remember) that gives those 'destroy a generator' missions for >500K a pop. They tend to be undefended by anything other than a couple of turrets so it's fairly stress free cash at the minute.
The Cobra III actually makes for a very good explorer. The jump range is average, but if you mod it up via the engineers it can easily get up to 35+ lys on a fully outfitted but lightweight Cobra III, which is really good. The ship is also a blast to fly around planet surfaces with that very fast boost speed, and it looks sharp as a tack when landed, and being a small ship you can land her in lots of places that the bigger ships just can’t.
dont forget to take some pics

I shall, am going to have to drop out of Rift mode for the sights though.
You just can't beat the Mk III. I'm in the 14th month of a circumnavigation in a stock, unengineered Cobra (my trip started in 1.3 so engineers weren't a thing). 18,384 systems in I still love her.
