Welcome bro. Looks like you got a really sweet deal. Looks like it's in great shape minus the upholstery. The guys on the forum here are phenominal. If you have any questions, ask away!

with all the suspension work done it sounds like he's gonna.

SFCs new bushings, tokicos/eibachs and STBs sounds like she hangs a corner nice with good tires on.

may be time to trade up to slicers and 96 upgrade the front brakes and start squeezing a little more Power out of the engine after a 60K.

sweet car man.

thanks everybody for the welcome!
mrstwistedmunky; i wet sanded with 2000 grit, used 3m rubbing compound and finished it up with a couple of coats of wax, it took about a day of work.

Irish Pride ; are u a member on ceg? just wondering since i saw u owned an svtc.

oh and here are some other goodies that came with the car;


other than the seats the problems are, valve cover gasket since i got a little oil on some sparkplugs and the left outer cv axle boot is torn so im replacing with a new cv axle

Great job on that car. Could I wet sand my 95 is the paint different? What would you guys recomend to clean the engine and if I remove the heat sheild will it affect the paint on the hood?

Paint is different. Except for the light titanium, the other '89 paint colors were not clearcoated. I wouldn't call it "impossible" to wet-sand a clearcoat car, but that clearcoat layer isn't that thick.
