1985 OSP Restoration

Well here is the "new" SSP. My dad and I got it from Ryan (NHP Mustang). He's done a good amount of work on the body, my dad just wants to block sand and prime a couple more times before paint.
Ryan can maybe chime in with a description of how he got the car and what he's done to it

The motor is incorrect, as it came out of a Mercury Capri, but it is complete(taken apart though). If we get the parts car that is available it will provide the correct motor. Interior is pretty nice for a blue interior, dash hull should clean up nice enough to avoid replacement or re-dyeing. Door panels only have slight warpage that could be corrected, and they might clean up with a going over with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Another set of seat covers and rear quarter panels were included which is excellent(they were out of another OSP car). All equipment mounting holes are visible too.

My dad wants to paint it, detail the engine bay a bit, put it all back together and drive it for a while. We'll have new decals duplicated off our original and might have a magnetic set made.

Here are the pics I took yesterday when we picked it up.

My dad might want to reverse the hole filling Ryan, he likes stuff original lol
