Mounting shouldn't be too bad....you may find some of the the original holes under the dash, also. There's pics of an '83 and '84 in the Doc, and I'd think the '86 would be set up the same. The radio head and siren were just mounted under the dash. My car has holes in the console delete where switches were probably mounted to control the lights. I still have an old radio mic clip mounted on there as well.

I'm sure the car will be happy to have a drivetrain again. :)

There sure aren't many restored 4-eyed DPS cars around...

Yep that is most of the stuff I have for the 87 I have in storage. I know it still needs a lot of work as well as a complete drivetrain too but it will come in time. It still only has 99K original miles on the body though.

Here are pictures for those who have been waiting. As I said, not much to look at but it's a start. The car in front of it is a very hacked (inside, has a cage) '86 GT T-Top, it belongs to the buddy of mine who owns the shop. It will donate front fenders to the DPS car, and he has a new front LX bumper as well that will fix the "bow" this one has currently. The front core support is going to have to be drilled out and replaced, someone apparently jacked the car up or towed it onto a trailer by it, so that has to be fixed. Obviously a full interior. I believe I've found a used 5.0 to go in it for the meantime, I'll need to source a trans and rebuild the rear end. And then of course all of the proper SSP equipment. Lots and lots of work ahead of me. Anyway, on to the fun stuff:

Looks like a good overall project to start with. Can't wait to see some progress pics.

Nice save! At least this one ended up in the right hands, rather than the crusher.
