'93 California SSP
 

Here are a couple of pics of my '93 California SSP. I have to call it a "California SSP" because I don't know what it did. Even thought it was originally painted B&W, I don't believe it served with the CHP. The guy I bought it from only remembers that the guy he bought it from worked in some government position. Still waiting for CA DMV to get back to me with Ownership records.

In the pics, I'm getting at the heater core. This the second heater core that I've had to replace. It was easier than the first...

You can see clearly herre that the drivers door is white...

I pulled all the wiring away from the fender and am cleaning and touching up the engine bay...

My progress will be much slower than, I forgot who, gutted, prepped and painted in a week!!! Wow!

At this point I've got the dash back in and am holding the interior at that until I can replace the nasty carpet. And the engine bay is almost cleaned up to a decent point.

Looks like your really going at it!
looks Good! :yes:

Hey Toshi,

Did you happen to read that thread on the CHP forums about the Mustangs? One of the CHP officers has a car that was delivered as a black and white but was repainted before being put into service and used as an admin car.

That's my vote on your car. Maybe you could contact him over there and see if your cars are similiar.

I did read the stories they told, but did not catch that particular one. I'll check it out. Thanks.:)

Since you are now a pro at it, when can you come over to my place to help me install a new heater core? :D

Heater Core
 

Haha! I'll be right over! :D Naw, I think that your '85 was designed a bit different than my '93. I think that you just go through the glove box and bypass pulling out the dash.

You can do that easy heater core swap, like you talk about only on the cars that didn't have factory A/C.

Floor Pan Brace/Seat Track Mount Repair
 

Finally repaired my floor pan brace/seat track mount. Had a buddy weld the original seat mount stud to a 2" x 4" x 1/8" piece of steel. I wanted to mount it inside the floor pan brace, but was unable to due to verticle pieces of sheet metal inside there. I bolted it in place as you see, but would like to weld it in place some day.

Along with the problem of the front seat mount being broken, the same side rear seat track foot was cracked almost completely through! So I was doing the "gansta lean" while driving. Had that welded up too. Little by little I'm getting the broken things fixed.

That's looking good Toshi.

awsome work, thats actually the best way and a good time, i did mine , then changed the carpet and put everything back in after massive cleaning. Looks great so far, thanks for sharing. then likely your car was chp, do you have holes in the floor and behind the glove box door from the shotgun rack?
