my ssp has a 347 5lug swap and mach1 front brakes. but still has factory color and always will. i plan on having it repainted and add a cowl hood and make it faster though

Just my opinion!!
I think you need to save those comments for another type of site !

all the comments up to yours where about preserving the ssp original !

You do know that the cowl hood won't make it any faster, right?

I would recommend that you keep as many of the original parts as possible, and perhaps spray the original hood at the same time that you add the cowl for the repaint. Hopefully you will be able to turn up more info about your car, which may encourage you to keep future mods limited to those that aren't too hard to "un-do", should you or a subsequent owner (we can't live forever ya know!) decide to return it to stock at a later time.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to start a battle here... I was only considering the brake swap but I sill wanted the stock 10 hole wheels... Yes Im want to have the extra set painted black... I am returning everything back to stock.. I have already removed the "X" pipe and placed the stock type mufflers bac on it. I have the original air filter assembly allthough I may sneak a K&N filter in it.. I am going to instal the original headers back in it.... I will keep the original brakes on it... So it will just be the black wheels...

By the way there is a '93 LX coupe on Ebay that the seller is stating that it is original and it has 4 wheel disk brakes on it from the factory...

Check his other auctions, he probably has a bridge to sell too.

lots of good comments here. Sometimes when you buy the cars the racer parts are already there. Kudos to the people that make these "saves". My CSP car had a tubular k member and all kinds of other stuff on it that got pitched. I was more than happy to buy the car with the stock parts all back on it. I think the main focus here is to keep things original as possible but little minor things are no big deal. Things like putting on black wheels instead of silver is not an issue with me at all. Now if you want to roll the fenderwells and put a narrowed 9 inch under it...It could possibly get ugly.

i think if u dont like my comment then u need not quote it!!! i was refering too modding mine but not so much to where its so difficult to go back orginal. if u want to keep yours stock thats fine. as far as saving saving my comments for another site i will say what i want here or on any other site. this special service mustang.net not RESTORATION TO ORIGINAL SSP SPECS.NET is it?!?!?!?


here is a 88 flordia patrol car ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooo............... its modded and on a drag strip????? that must be a sin

actually a cowl hood can make it faster. cowl hood weighs 17lb i believe and stock is over 50lb i'm sure. but i'm definantly gonna spray both hoods when i get my car painted thats for sure. im not gonna mod it to the point of no return thats for sure. but i do plan on hiding underhood wireing in the fender and welding up holes and wat knot. maybe when i get older it will be returned to stock, but as for now its gonna look pretty much stock. everyone has restored/original cars, but i want mine to be different.
