I hope the brown wasnt a chosen color for resale.

Back in the 80's Brown was a choice for repaint. They used Nixon Brand paint on the cars.

Well I pulled the seats, carpet and rear panels looking for a build sheet with no luck. Floors are 100% solid no rust. I was shocked by that after sitting behind that fence in the grass since 2001. Even the seat floor brackets were in great shape with no damage. I did find a bunch of holes drilled in the drivers and passenger side tunnel. Some kind of equipment brackets. Does anybody have any good interior picts of the 86 TX DPS equipment brackets?? Ive inspected the whole car and found no rust anywhere, if the rear quarter wasnt damaged the body would be super! ..... I guess I should like brown paint...LOL ! Heres a picture of where the rear fogs went and the floorboard holes. I marked them with screw drivers.

I am the current owner of M5-582. Bought it from my brother-in-law at the end of last year.

Congrats, and welcome! :)

Welcome...is Jason your brother-in-law?

I was confused for a minute and had to re-read the thread. Apparently barnett18 bought M5-582 which is the car LRS restored to non in service specs. It was very briefly mentioned in this thread but isn't the car Jason has.

Congrats on the purchase barnett18!! Post up pics when you can ;)

Anyone had contact with Jason? Just noticed he hasn't been on the board since 8/2013. Hope he's ok??
