1986 TX DPS #M6-307 Restoration
'86 DPS M6-307 heads to KS tomorrow for complete paint and body, back to black/white! This car has lived a very rough life, but metal wise has made it through unharmed. Best I can tell, it was decommissioned and driven for a while before ending up in a san antonio salvage yard "car lot". The title wasn't ever salvaged, but the car was sold by pick-n-pull and then put into drag racing duty for many years. As stated, the metal is all good but the interior, engine bay, and rest of the car have been hacked to pieces. It needs everything, completely interior including all harnesses (blue), completely engine bay harness, lines, motor, trans, etc, as well as paint, suspension work to go back to stock, and everything else.
 I have the correct blue manual door panels for it, but want to find a low mileage '86 blue interior-ed donor car to pull the dash and all plastics, seatbelts, seating, etc out of. I have a line on a wrecked '86 that is complete for the engine, harnesses, etc so I hope to pick that up when the car gets back from paint. The hardest piece that I know I will have finding for the outside is the DB702 white antenna. I need one, so if anyone has a line on one, please let me know. I will also need all of the correct equipment for the car, as I don't have any of it yet. If anyone has correct '86 Texas DPS equipment, please PM me. I have not done enough research yet on what I need, but will soon. I have the wheels and caps and a line on some spotlights. She's rough, but deserving of restoration. I'll follow up this thread with all pictures I get through the process!

Chris,
Almost the exact story as my '83 DPS car. I have the correct radio and DB702 for you when you're ready (dashlight as well). Why KS, though?

Mike, I have a good friend in KS who is refinishing the body/paint for me. He's a magician with these cars, and although this car isn't awful, it's not great either. Looks like it was brush painted; its bad.
I'm sending a PM to you right now about the equipment! Mike #2, thanks for the congrats! I'm glad I made it this far too!
