FHP or CHP - That is the question!
First off most of you will think that I am crazy and according to my wife, I am. Last summer, I purchased my 1993 FHP SSP, but here is the catch. The previous owner had painted the car CHP Black and White. I was making plans to repaint the car FHP Black and Tan, and had even bought a Vector Lightbar to mount on the car after the paint.
This weekend, the previous owner, who has been sending me various CHP related parts that he is finding, brought me a complete set of CHP decals. SO... since the car already has a good looking B & W paint job, do I stay with a CHP looking FHP and get the car as close to CHP as possible, or take the plunge to an all correct FHP SSP. How many of you have a car that started out as one and was or is being restored to another? The car will look like a CHP to most people, but SSP Owners are not like most people.

+1 as an FHP, or sell it to someone who will return to FHP and purchase a CHP if that's what you would like.

It is what it is. FHP is my vote.
The previous owner is GIVING you all the CHP stuff? Take it and sell it to fund the FHP restoration.
