Thanks guys i agree it is part of the fun this car has been the biggest challenge out of all i have done in past. Not sure if it's because it's approaching 30 yrs old or because Idaho had so few or the combination.. Can't believe 85 almost 30 yrs ago feels like yesterday

My wife wants driveway clean so donor needs to go asap so i was allowed some time in driveway today. I started on SSP removed the seats the center console and carpet. Found the holes for equipment mounting on passenger side of trans hump. Also tore off some of the velour from dash. Looks like the mic mounted above drivers right knee low on dash. Looks like mystery switch hidden on dash was wired to brake switch so my guess it was a kill switch like FHP and my KHP. Also dug around some mystery wires on radiator support looks like the head light harnesses were cut into. Found ground wire on passenger bumper reinforcement for siren i think. No pictures today my phone battery was dead. Will try to get some this week.

Always good to make some progress! :thumbsup:

Thanks Brad, true even though very minimal progress "ANY" is good

1985 SSP'S
 

Just a question did the 85's have reinforced seat backs on SSP?

Couple pictures 1 of the wiring cut into passenger head light harness. And 1 of equipment holes in passenger side of trans tunnel.. Anybody with thoights on holes for equipment lay out. The 2 vertical lines is the shifter position for perspective of hole placement.

Putting in for a weeks vacation 1st or 2nd week of November so i can strip donor car the wife wants it out of driveway lol. So hope to have Joe pick it up for MSP project parts. I probably get 2 days out of that week to do car stuff. The rest will be buttoning up outside work before winter takes over up here. Not looking forward to the Snow it's getting old and so am i. But will be fun with my son he is 18 months now so we can enjoy some winter activities and get him shoveling by next year.

Don't forget to snap pics of donor car door tag and buck tag(s), so I can put it in DB as parted. Thanks.

On marti report shows stripe but as you can see they eliminated it on Eminger and also shows door mouldings shipped loose on Eminger. Still no clarification on the hubcaps. Not that i will be running 14's with caps i just can't i might track some down to have for future. Thank you Bill for the quick response and update to page i don't think 5 minutes elapsedsince i sent when you had updated. Just want to say Thanks to you and others for all the time you put into this site and our hobby.

Check out what one looks like with the 15 inch wheels and SSP hubcaps (it's listed on the Eminger).

Your car had 14 inch wheels and stock 14 inch hubcaps, which is what they put on the AOD cars.

So she is going to new home a RI LEO picked the ISP and donor car up yesterday. It is his 1st SSP, he has been shopping for 1 a long time. He likes the idea of how rare the ISP is and it was close to home so shipping much less. He drove here about a hour and a half in ramp truck the SSP went on top and donor on tow bar behind. He is getting his community involved he already went to local trade school. The students will be in on restoration, paint and wiring the ISP.He also reached out to local TV about the project so they will be possibly covering it. He wants to do it close to original as possible i can't wait to see it done. He should be joining the forums and keep us all informed on progress. Should be good for our hobby. Thank you to all that were interested she went to good home..

Congrats not only on the sale but for finding it a good home...
