Default 90 SSP TX DPS has a new home

Well got the 90 SSP home this afternoon. She needs some work (allot of work) didn't realize how rough she was. I got the stock springs and stock hood and some other things. he could only find one of the original seats. Well I can already tell you that I'm not going to try to go to show room stock way to much work for my shallow pockets. It is a TX DPS car from the VIN Project. the door sticker is long gone, did have the department fleet#, has the two buck tags. On the good note the Odometer says the car only has 92K miles.

I dont think my pockets are going to be deep enough to restore it to the original TX DPS dress. So im thinking about getting the exterior back to what stock SSP look, with stock height and wheels. Do what i can with the interior and make a tribute car for my department. But need to get everything mechanicaly sound first.

was messing with the car a little today and found on the door under a few layers of paint what I thought might be the door tag. the first pick is after about two hours of very careful razor work. and the second picture is after another two or so hours.

how do I get this added to the sites Vin project?

Once Bill (28HopUp) sees this, and has some time to get it done, he'll add the door tag to this car's page in the VIN Project. Are you able to take a good pic of the buck tags?

that's a good job getting the paint off your door tag.

You can now be like the rest of us -- Get your tools out, pack a big lunch and take out a home equity loan. Welcome to the SSP addiction!
