Got some new rubber on the 10-holes today, looking more like it should. I've got some places on the wheels to touch up, and they put some god ugly weights on there that I'll paint up.


I have a new set of front lights that I will be installing as soon as we get some decent weather for a day. Then some buffing and waxing.


While I'm not actively selling at this time, I'm most likely going to put it up for sale when I get the title back. Some time in the next couple months. I'm thinking around 5k, but would take trades for 4eyes, or 4banger fox for my 16yo.

Also wanted to add, took this to the dyno a couple weeks ago. I was thinking at the time I was going to be modding this, and wanted to see where it started, and played around with a SCT Bama tuned chip some. Well it put down 207 hp and 270Ft . IMO quite strong at the tires, since it's not a Dynojet, and runs about 12% lower then 1.

For those interested, the Bama tuned chip took it up to 208hp, it's now been uninstalled.

Replaced the front lights today. Cleaned up the inside and out, as well as the engine bay.








The car is listed for sale, but if I do much more, I might not be able to sale it.

Painted up the black on the bumpers today. Taped, sanded them lightly, and used a flat bumper paint. Turned out better then I expected.

Bringing some info over from another thread, thanks Rhino for the great info.

LMK if you want any info on WSP cars.

Here's some info on those markings:


The top 4 digits are the inventory # as used in the pre-delivery inspection (PDI). LG stands for Leonard Griffin (Who worked for McCallom Ford in Spokane). He marked the firewall on every car he inspected with his initials. All of our cars have them - even the PCSD Mustangs. The bottom date is when the car was inspected at the dealer.

For comparison - here's a few pics of my cars:
87 WSP Mustang:


88 PCSD Mustang:
A couple more pics.



1 of the family. I just got the 84 convertible for my son, he turns 16 next month. The black one is my older son's 84, and the Saleen clone is my 84.

Thought it was time for a little update. I have really been liking driving this car. I've got most all of the little bugs worked out of it, and can say it drives better then any other Fox I've had. I took it on a road trip and had it down on some "mountain" Arkansas roads, it ate them up. I put my Cobra wheels, with a 245 tire on it, I'm sure that helped, but still it stayed nice and flat.

I guess you could say I'm going to resto-mod this thing, with more emphasis on resto, and mods to get the performance on track with modern performance cars. I want people to look at this thing and say, "look at the old police car" not "look at the Hot Rod". It will be a driver, I want at home on a road trip, road track , auto-x, or a car show.

I'm getting ready to change the heads and intake, to Trick Flow. I feel bad about changing it from stock, but I feel power is this things biggest weakness. I'm going to keep everything, so it can be restored to stock if wanted. I'm not going to change the cam right now.

I've been looking into a radio system, I believe it would be the Motorola Micor. I have someone on another forum who says he can put me something together to work on the Family Radio System, but it's something else. I feel like if I'm going to put something in there, I want it to be right. Any info on the easiest right way to do it? And if it's going that far, I would probably want a PA.
