1985 CHP Mustang Dream Car

[svt3434]

Update on my 1985 CHP Dream Car: After finding out I owed almost $1,000 in back fees for registration, the woman at the DMV was kind enough to knock off a few dollars so I got away with paying only $661. A small savings but every penny counts. I then had the original carb rebuilt, lines and gas tank checked for rust (none), fresh brakes all the way around, new belts, dyno tuned, new wires, plugs, cap/rotor, and now it runs like a new car!!! Smooth shifts, easy clutch, nice brakes, and smooth idling. Next step is freshening up the suspension. I may upgrade the rear end to an 8.8 still thinking about that. The original steelies are back from powdercoating but I will wait to put those on until after a fresh coat of paint/body work. For now, it is rolling on 93 pony wheels. After the suspension I will tackle the new exhaust front to back. Not sure if I want a true dual exhaust or stick with the single pipe cutting into two pipes out the rear. Anyone have ideas or thoughts on the dual exhaust and upgrading to an 8.8 rear? I am dying to get this car restored, but driving it daily now to work and collecting all the restoration parts such as for the interior is a great experience in the meantime!! I will post pics tomorrow...
