Good to know it was out on the track only once. This way the guy who had it did not get any other ideas with it and it can now be restored.

I hope this is an easier restore than you thought the 86 was going to be.
Have fun with this car and enjoy the hard work and then the rfuits of your labor when it's done. I'd send that thing out to paint first thing! Matt

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
Matt- I think that paint will be the first thing. I need to get the new front clip put on and make sure everything looks right, and find a passenger door for it. Once that's done it will be off for body and paint. I think I have a lead on a low mileage wrecked '85 GT parts car that should source the engine/trans/exhaust which would be really nice, we will see if that works out like I hope. Having the wheels/caps/seats and good dash/door panels alone makes this car an easier restore for me than the '86, although honestly I still have a soft spot for those EFI cars... I need to find someone to blast and powdercoat the wheels for me as well, any recommendations? What about going semigloss vs gloss on the wheels?

I know what you're saying about the EFI cars though. That is why all the rest of my SSP's are and will be EFI 86-93. The CHP will be a show car around here and the Texas and Nebraska car will travel. they will have everything working as far as A/C and heat and will not be driving on Goodyear Gatorbacks. Matt

Looks like it's going to be an awesome project. At least it has just the one DPS repaint too. Are you going back to stock or are you going to have some goodies on the motor?
