To answer your question about the underside. I used a pressure washer and cleaned it but that was all. The engine bay however was completely gutted and painted by me when I had everything out.

I am doing that too. Painting the whole bay then clear coat. I am going to try and find the primer gray that ford used for the underside. I will also try and touch up the axle housing and paint it black.
 
umm so far its got i think 60***mi on it i think. Been awhile since i looked at it(sits in dad pole barn 45min away). Pretty much stock other than catback, catted h-pipe, very mild cam and ported honed extruded factory intake(basically similar to cobra intake). Bought it in 03 maybe 04 in canal winchester, ohio. 95 chrome cobra r sitting on bfg gforce kdw tires. Energy susp motor mounts. Believe thats it. Tan interior. Prev owner was a cop that was havin twin and had to get rid of one of the toys. Originating dealer was Boyd County Ford, Ashland, KY. Manufacture date was 12/13/88 and ship date 12/22/88. I think i was told its 1 of 17 in color combo can u comfirm this 304

Nice story and info on your car!
I can't anserwer on the 1 of 17 question, but from what I have heard from other people is that the majority of the Red and Gold Cars came with the Tan Interior like yours has. Mine per Liz, is the only Red and Gold Hatch with Gray Flofit Interior
built in 89 with no other options installed by Saleen.
I do know of another Red and Gold 89 in my area, and it has the Ford Factory Gray leather Interior.
Your car has the closest bumper number to mine, that's cool :nice:

I cant remember what liz said to me and i lost the sheet i wrote all info on. I think she said if i have mesh wheels and 355 its 1 of 5, 1 of 8 with 355 or mesh cant remember, 1 of 10 or 12 with 355 or mesh wheels. Like i said i cant remember exact #'s. I have a great memory, its just short lol. Oh i believe im the 3 or 4th owner but im 2nd register on saleen file. Seen ur car on car domain a few yrs ago right around when i got mine. ur car got my attention first time i seen it but i like my tan int lol
 
Here is my Saleen. I dont have many pics cuz I have only had it for a couple of months, but here is what I have so far....
