1989 UHP #396
 

Retired to City of West Jordan Public Works. March 27, 2010, TNT Auctioned to a guy in Arizona (91K miles). Then sold to his friend (not sure when, but it was the guy I bought it from).

What he did:

When I picked it up. 93K miles.

I bought it in November 2010, threw 3K at it, but it's all underneath and can't really be seen.

I was throwing codes 91&41, and 34. Motor is bone stock. I just updated 02 sensors, plugs, wires, distributor, coil, fan, EGR, EVR, EVP, TAD&TAB, air filter, coolant temp sensor, air sensor, vacuum check valve, and a couple vacuum lines. No more codes!!!
Quest for vacuum leaks...

Not many interior mods. No more feet slipping of the damn pedals. I hate the look of the Hurst shifter, but it feels great.
There was already a hole under the dash (by the trunk button) so I filled it with a switch to control on/off power to the passenger spotlight.

Thanks for posting all of the pictures. VERY Nice!!!

:D

Very nice to see that car turn up. I was hoping to buy that one, but had to wait until I sold another toy off.

What all suspension mods did you do?

When I began my 750 mile trip home, I wasn't thrilled. Everything was worn out, BAD!! I liked the "original" aspect of the car, but not 750 miles worth. I can't describe how unstable the steering was, and hitting the brakes felt like it sent the car up on the front left tire.
I pulled off Motorcraft shocks (made in Japan), I didn't even know these existed.

I've since installed:
Bilstein's all around
H&R Sport springs all around
poly swaybar, and steering rack bushings
poly iso's in rear
MM stock replacement front control arms (w/ bushings and ball joints)
MM caster camber plates
MM full length subframe connectors
MM stock rear uca's
MM adjustable lca's
MM panhard bar

I'm currently putting together a monster brake kit.
Also, looking around for a SN95 rack (w/ MM steering shaft), and new PS pump.

After I finished the driver side fronts, I thought the passenger side would be a breeze......
front bolt had rust/welded to the metal bushing sleeve. Vise grips, a can of WD40, propane torch, 1.5 days, and a shit ton of patience, I got it out.

As expected, the rear lower axle bolts did the same. Since I had room, I ground off the head, then used a bolt and a series of washers to slowly pull it through. After all that, I crawled under to snap some photos, and realized I'd put the lowers of the wrong sides!!! In practice, laughing aloud, and muttering to myself, it only took about 20 minutes to switch them.

New cats, and Flowmasters (of course)

It will feel like a new car when you are done!
