Names Josh and I first of all I want to say thanks for adding me to this forum :)

I just purchased a former Utah 92 ssp mustang from my friend who was living in Salt lake and is re -locating to Houston Texas for work and couldn't take the car with him. So I ended up getting a killer deal on her!

This is my 16th total mustang I have owned ( mostly fox body's) but my 1st ssp car. My neighbor used to have a 93 former NHP car that I always liked, but never really showed much interest in getting one until as of late.

For some of the info/history of the car that I know from my friend and an "Autocheck report". It has lived in Utah all it's life and he was the 9th owner of it.

He was using it for his daily driver while he put money into his STI swapped 00 Subaru RS.

Overall the car isn't in horrible shape but it has had its fair share of bumps and bruises throughout the years and somewhere along the line someone was slowly turning into a race car unfortantly with adding quite a few bolt ons and running weld draglite big n little setup.

In my honest opinion this car seriously got in the wrong hands of people before my friend got it.

Here is some pics...

The day I got it 12-17-13

And how it sits as of yesterday after pulling the front bumper cover off to fix the front bumper cover as it somebody just threw it on and it was about to practically fall of!...also washed it and removed those hideous "BBK" stickers off the fenders

My plans for it are pretty simple as I want to "driver/restore" to resemble mostly what it once was but still change a few things.

-Have an all white hood to install
-New 6piece headlights with amber corners to install
-Proper 5.0 fender badges
-Original 10 hole wheels to install ( but will be powder coating them black since I prefer that style of wheel more
-Tint windows
-Add all new A/C components
-Under coat car since I plan to "Nice day Daily this car to enjoy her" :)


Final pics of the buck tags and door tags...

Thank you!

I really like how the UHP cars have those special back seats with the zipper bag attached. Glad mine is still intact even though somebody has already swapped out the front seats with 87-89 tweed style.

Welcome aboard. Looks like it's in good hands now.

Welcome!! Congrats on the UHP, glad you're saving it!

Awesome! Thanks! :thumbsup:

Also I have a question hopefully you guys could steer me in the right direction.

I would like to also add the original or as close to original antenna back to the trunk. The plug in it now is located pretty close to the center of the trunk.

I did a quick search and came up with this thread...http://www.specialservicemustang.net...=trunk+antenna

Is going with a "Hustler xblt-4" going to be my best route?

Js04sILVerBullet 01-12-2014 10:49 PM

Ended up digging into the car some more today and found this under the back seat while I was in the process of installing new carpet and the proper front seats!

Does this share any significance on the UHP cars?

Js04sILVerBullet 01-12-2014 11:00 PM

Also found this once I pulled up the carpet

It looks like whoever installed these re-enforcement plates got lazy and just left the stems of the pop rivets laying in the car. Once I picked them up you could see the outline of overspray where they just painted over them.
