I am planning on doing an all out restoration on this car. I think with her rarity and history she deserves nothing less. I decided to start at the rear and work my way forward.
So my first discovery was this...
...the original spare tire.
But once removed it revealed the only major issue I am aware of so far...
....swiss cheese in my spare tire well.
I was aware of this issue when I purchased her and the seller included the necessary patch piece from a donor Mustang. I then began tearing out the interior and confirmed what I thought I had noticed...mice. Plenty of mice poop and garbage all over the place. I was able to get most of the interior out, leaving just the headliner, dash, and passenger door panel for another day. One thing positive was the rear deck tray was the original one. It shows where the rear ER lights were and the rear radar mount.
So all of that brings everything up to date. My basement is full of interior pieces...in addition to a bunch of FHP stuff for FHP1395. I am meeting with SSPAnthony this weekend to pick up some pieces for the front that she will be needing. All and all it was a great day!
