No worries, John.

Post up some better pics if you can, and you'll find lots of people here that are willing to help (depending on how far you want to take your car, how correct, etc).

I bought mine in '97 in Gainesville, but I think I was at the auction your car sold at in Orlando.

I bought it 2/9/98, FHP bought it 4-1-93, it was retired in late 97' due to a "bad transmission" is what was on the windshield, it turned out to be a bad clutch cable!, I drove it home from orlando like that.

I have the maintenance card, warranty card, and the fleet service card, I kept a copy of the original title and some other trinket paperwork left in the car

Do these shorts make my ass look phat?

Yes, they are escort caps.

The wheels; When I bought the car it had the unpainted 10 holes, I always liked and wanted the steel wheels, soon after I bought the car I started hunting for them, I bought a Classic Mustang restoration magazine and started calling every one, I called this shop up in S.Carolina and "Bubba" had four NIB in his attic, he wanted $50+8 shipping each, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO!" I couldnt overnight the check any faster!, I later sprayed them wih clear.

one mod you cant see unless you look is that I have rear disk brakes from a 1993 Cobra, at the time my brother and I were buying and selling alot of mustangs, one had this HTF rear end so I swapped it out,

These wheels would not fit on the front because the brakes were much bigger in 93' as compared to 86's. I was/am still a mechanic before I was a cop and I work on alot of my friends and co-workers cars. One of the guys at work needed brakes on his 93' it had a supercharged stroker motor but it was originally a 4 banger, I talked him into swapping strut assemblys, problem solved,

My complete interior is black except for the original carpet, sorry, I do have a grey dash in storage and another 93 hatchback parts car with a nice grey interior

Very nice lookin' FHP John. I wouldn't think there are too many 2nd owners out there. I too didn't care for the shiney 10-holes on my car, and since it now has 87-up brakes I decided to paint my wheels. But I am a fan of the 85/86 wheels.

I posted some new pictures at www.photobucket.com/johnsrides, There is a Mustangs Only magazine called Mustang Generations they did a feature on my car along with my 05'GT Unmarked, this is only thier forth issue but this issue is going to feature mustangs owned by cops, they even did a video shoot with each of my cars chasing an 05'GT, around a flat track, I got the 93 to do a little sideways drifting coming out of the corners, it will be posted on thier website when they are done editing, I'll post up a link when it come out it should be soon
