First Wash in 12 Years: ABANDONED Ford Mustang! | Car Detailing Restoration

[@WDDetailing]

Now that we teased what's coming next week..... Who's excited?!

[@russellmorgan5611]

The organic matter is from a vine called Virginia Creeper. That's how it anchors. 👍

[@thomashartwig5059]

ME! The Ferrari BB 512 was the "big" 365. The name comes from the 512S, which was used in the Formula 1 in 1970. 5 liter V12 engine. In the 90ies, it was one of the most underrated Ferraris because of the huge costs of the engine maintenance. If this is a US model after 1981, it is called 512 BBi. Due to the emission standards in that time, the engine has a Bosch K-Jetronic injection. You can recognize this model at the parking lights.

[@wdubduece8913]

I'm no mechanic, but should you be spraying the alternator like that?

[@MikeWilbanks-j9e]

Just curious, would that iron remover work on the carpet or would it bleach it

[@savinadesouza]

Hello

[@holnugget]

I own an 04 v6 and some people may not know, that the rear bumper cover that says MUSTANG is getting really hard to find. When you buy a replacement cover these days its blank. Fun fact. Also, the v6 although low in HP compared to modern cars is very easy to work on and reliable if kept up. You can also get about 22-26 mpg on hwy.

[@gavingonder707]

I was recently given a 2000 v6 and it had over 330,000 miles when I received it. I have put almost 7,000 more on it, and it has had zero issues. The previous owner had bought it for his wife, who was a little hard on the clutch, but he was very good about routine maintenance, and it runs great. It still has the original engine and original everything, with the exception of some exterior add-ons (namely some unique paint and lettering)!

[@lesterjones9335]

I have a 2000 v6. I have been thinking of getting back on the road. Needs some work done but I may have it done this summer. Starting with a good wash.

[@1wickedmerc]

All the 99-04 v6 and GTs had mustang on the rear bumper. I had a 04 GT and I hated the mustang lettering in the bumper .

[@Searchfored]

Sadly nowadays the late 90s and 2000s car parts aren't being made anymore which makes them a pain to find in good condition besides going to the junkyard to get a factory instead of getting an aftermarket which will be probably expensive…😤

[@garycamara9955]

I get better horsepower to weight in my 67 MINI Cooper S. And it's faster. It gets 35 to 45 mpg.

[@scootytamra]

Wow she looks so much better! She deserved all that love! Great work guys!!!

[@Z33_Cowboy]

I work as a detailer and refinisher at CarMax and we just ordered a few gallons of puro to try out. 💪

[@johncornell3665]

That was one dirty Mustang. Great job cleaning it up. What a big difference. Thanks guys!

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Why do people treat the second most expensive thing they own like garbage ! Unbelievable.

[@willvr4]

Some people just don't care about their car, and it's also a depreciating asset that is expensive to maintain properly. This thing probably just had engine issues and then was essentially abandoned.

[@widtrak77]

Nothing more than an appliance to them

[@CreachterZ]

Or someone passed away. Went to prison. Was disabled. You never know the full story.

[@ElMujiosss]

10:32 In germany we call that stuff "Efeu". It grows all over brick walls, windows or basicly anything that is not getting taken care of. Its called "Ivy" in English.

[@Robert-qh2jp]

sehr gut

[@robbicu]

Excellent video! My daddy at 93 years old has this Mustang in White with the drop top.

[@edwardpitingolo3206]

I’m always a fan of restoring to the original.

[@mtw2025]

Yea, I always hated shows like Pimp My Ride that put ridiculous things in and on cars, but loved Overhaulin' with Chip Foose.

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

Bring it back to life! Cars of the yesteryear need to be revitalized.

[@willvr4]

It's a V6 auto, they would lose money on it and they aren't in demand.

[@garycamara9955]

By yesteryear I mean the 60s.

[@garycamara9955]

Put a 302 5 spd in it.

[@CRS099]

If you just want a summer time cruiser, this is perfect!!

[@seanwarner9893]

I picked up a '96 for $2500 and it is so fun to just drive around in with the dog or wife

[@TransistorBased]

I finally had some good days to drive mine with the top down and I'm really going to miss that since I'm planning on replacing it soon due to a failing transmission

[@tommygtr3571]

I had this same car except for mine was white and it was a 5spd stick. 190 HP was what the V8 was getting just a few years prior. I loved it! This was the higher line V6 due to the leather seating.

[@Adam-cb6ve]

My grandpa bought an 02 Mustang that was identical to this one (except his was mint) a couple years before he passed. The first week he owned it he left it to me just to drive around, without me even asking. I took it to 2 proms. 2012 & 2013. The first one I asked him the 2nd his health wasn't doing too well and I didn't want to bother about it but once he found out he made sure that I knew I better take it. Anyways love to see that you guys took care of this one even if it is just a V6 automatic.

[@thom8577]

Congrats on 1 millions subs, guys. You do amazing work.

[@TDewar]

Torch red. Best color. My 2002 gt is torch red. Loved how you guys brought it back to life.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Hello guys! Apparently, that organic material you have on the headlights and paint is artillery fungus. Yvan Lacroix taught me it can be easily removed with peanut oil. I used it on my brother's Subaru Forester since he lives in Florida but spent several vacation days in Virginia, and when I visited him, I detailed his vehicle. We don't have that in Puerto Rico, so it was my ever first experience dealing with that organic material. Yes, it can't be removed, even spraying iron remover or water spot remover, and sometimes it's very difficult also with a synthetic clay towel or a clay bar before polishing and it was extremely easy with peanut oil.

[@siphomogale779]

I don't know much about cars or engens but it will be great to see it back on the road especially with the detailing you doing

[@AustinMafia-zk5nf]

I loved my 02 V6 Stang!

[@MidwestMotor]

My mom had a 1990 Mustang 5.0 convertible which was awesome but she wanted to get something newer and ended up getting this exact spec except the top was a tan color. I HATED that she went from a V8 to the V6 but it was actually pretty quick! Great work guys!!! i CANNOT WAIT for the next video!!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@shaclo1512]

wouldn't trust that taped wing tho 😂

[@francoisbouchard602]

Nice job Nice Mustang good show 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@LORDS-SWORD]

The rust on the mat, was from the pedals above. As Brandon would say, Come on man, you know the thing!! Great job 👏 L😂L

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

even tho i love corvettes, especially the 80's ones, i wouldn't mind taking this mustang for a ride. i too think that a v6 is a little underpowered but it's not bad at all. cool find, and i can't wait for that beast next week!

[@yukisnowbun]

So you guys can have the knowledge - This updated version of the SN95 is actually called the "New Edge" Mustang! I had one of these a number of years ago. Wasn't a convertible, but was a V6 in the red. Absolutely loved this car, and miss it dearly... Considering buying another one.

[@MegaRetr]

Excellent video! )))

[@avioncamper]

This car is worth fixing up for a weekend cruiser. Convertible adds lots of bonus points and red too.

[@ronvan1362]

Great job guys. Love those Mustangs

[@C3Gaming1]

Love your videos! Detailing helps me deal with my anxiety/depression and PTSD. I could watch these all day….lol

[@TheRealStangyStang]

This vid is so awesome, I have the same but a 99 GT v8, So cool keep up the great work guys!

[@timsmart4014]

Very detailed video this is what I’m looking for

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

LOVELY little car!

[@marcolubke3957]

Habt ihr ja wieder klasse Arbeit angeliefert.

[@vorsprungdurchtech]

What a transformation!! CONGRATULATIONS on 1M subscribers!!!

[@michaelnorman8247]

Good old ford paint ! Great video

[@alisonscannell3721]

The rust stains on the rubber mat looked to have come from the pedals, rust could be seen on both, probably condensation made it drip down. Fabulous transformation as always 🎉

[@mommasboy1990]

I had a 98 red mustang and the interior looked pretty much the same as that one but mine luckily was a 5 speed. This one's body style is what I always wanted back in the day

[@jerrodjnoles5361]

Great job fellas mustang looks good

[@darkvalebrewer93]

What in the Magnum PI!!!!! Looking forward to next week!

[@fadyramaihi1975]

Nice job guys love that ford

[@danmontour8584]

whattttttttt, no mouse nest, thats a rare one !!! WOW, next one is promising, cant wait

[@markjones6181]

Congratulations on 1mil. Subscribers, you guys rock.......Stay Up, Hard, and Healthy...... 🔥🔥👍🏽❤️💯

[@Thomas-xt1ff]

Great job, looks amazing.

[@Thenardog1975]

That 3.8 with a 5 speed had a lot of torque and fun to drive.

[@voy911]

I have a SN95 3.8L V6 Mustang Pacific Green, the colors was only used from 1996 to 1998 and i love my Car i use it all th time

[@305classics]

I just love these videos you guys do. Great job! Hello from Miami’s classic car scene.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

You really brought the shine back to that Stang!

[@valrabellkeys9867]

These cars are seriously underrated. They are (currently) cheap, last, and are very easy to work on.

[@samio3907]

23:58 that seat buckles can be brought back to life with some hot air for the final touch 👌

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here 🍩☕️😎😎👍. Not bad very nice work guys ! Convertible are so few , I would bring it back as is and make it Friday night cruiser 🍔🍕🍦🥤

[@korn4life79]

I think “Goo Gone” can help with those sappy like vines on the headlights. They have different forms of Goo Gone too I believe as well. But it’s just oil essentially. And absorbs nicely w/ paper towels. Hope this helps. ✌🏼👌🏼 10:45

[@jeffhutchinson3]

Literally had my 04 mustang totaled a few weeks ago by someone who suddenly pulled out on me, was sad to let her go 😭. Though it is nice to see other slow ponies get a nice refresh, love your guys work and can't wait to see more!

[@vicwithav]

You guys need a 2nd Channel that's purely washing and zero talking.

[@ericwhite5290]

What an amazing job. I can't wait to see the next video.

[@BongVillanuevaGales]

Wow amazing very nice beautiful car

[@cristianodummel316]

Simply the best car!

[@KevinEllisGuitars]

Nice work!❤

[@stefanotanti7296]

Great My friends ! My dream car , whit a Ducati monster 🤩

[@cesarefoligno7957]

Veramente un gran bel lavoro!!! Un saluto dall' Italia..😉👍🇮🇹

[@LauraBanister]

This makes me miss my 2014 Ford Mustang!! I love driving my "silver bullet" all around western New York!! I love it!!

[@thierryds7295]

Good job! J'aime bien ces Mustang mal aimées des 90's...👍

[@georgepretnick4460]

Replace the motor? If you are a deep pocketed car snob, just buy a different car with an impressive engine. This mustang would be a dream car for an average driver with an average budget, if it was in good running reliable condition. BTW, add-on power adders are available and common for V6 Mustangs.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

Also, the newer V-6's are pretty crazy! I'm not a big Ford fan, but the newer GT mark VI supercars have a Ford 3.5 V-6, and those cars are insane.

[@nickchandler4334]

I have found so many good songs from your videos

[@Tony-hg9kc]

Does steam cleaning the interior affect any of the electrical switches and such?

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

I've never had a problem, but it seems like it's definitely a possibility.

[@KlarkandKemuel]

We love mustang Uncle..

[@bernandoturner4840]

Yall Great..U2 got the know/how when Cleaning A Dirty Car. I subscribed.😅

[@joebennefield3368]

Y'all made it look like a new car it's great 👍👍❤ y'all 😎 RJ your the best 😁

[@hernanmartinez8313]

Love the ford vs Ferrari reference

[@davidacks8014]

It was parked for a reason. Before I would say parts car, what does the undercarriage look like, as it appears to be a rust belt car and you admitted having problems getting the seats out.

[@mexicanspec]

14:38 Since you don't remember the interior styling cues from earlier Mustangs, try looking at the interior of the 1969 Mustang. See what you see.

[@DSP1968]

You guys did your usual stellar job! Personally, if this car really doesn't run, it's probably easiest for an experienced backyard mechanic to just repair/replace the V-6. Lots of extra parts needed to convert it to a V-8, I'm sure. The car looks in pretty good shape overall from an appearance perspective after you finished with it. And most of the accessories probably still work.

[@funnyvideos-jx3dc]

I love American videos🎉❤

[@lamvandanh1993]

Awesome car wish I could own one 🤩🤩

[@johnteniteni8423]

Good morning Everyone from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@justhimo2728]

omg you so lucky 1 million subscribers wow unbelievable 👏

[@volodya6]

What products do you use for cleaning and detailing? Would be appreciated, I have 2014 Chevy camaro...

[@mbritton1984]

You guys do great work! Have you ever heard the phrase “polishing a turd”? You’ve definitely done it.

[@reginagurganus3064]

Nice job!! Can't wait til next week to see what that is, and what you will do with it lol

[@DuckReach432]

That motor with a pod filter and set of headers would be fine. Nice work, by the way.

[@ricardoderobles9494]

Looking good nice job. Big 10 from Houston texas

[@markquinn4243]

Excellent Video. It would be great if you could give some tips on using touch up paint if you ever do that in your detailing.

[@82mjoseph]

Came out looking 👀 niceeeee good 👍🏾 job y’all

[@rossdevin9799]

Just a question, do you let the puro sit and soak for 5 or 10 min before spraying it off? You guys rock, I love watching your videos.

[@typicalcarandgamingGuy]

Congrats on reachcing the 1million subs

[@lawrenceharp6396]

That's what many cars look like on Big Island of Hawaii. Many even have ferns growing out of the floors inside and exterior!

[@ccg1171]

It's not a muscle car it's a sports car. Big difference. Go to the 60s & 70s for muscle 💪

[@southerncharm2023]

Y'all continue to step up your game.

[@brettsherborne9027]

Good videos lads, any tips for cleaning dirty lighter coloured seat belts? Cheers

[@bksmurf808]

Interior looks Great Pretty Sure Ms.Emeline King would Be Proud 💐 🤗

[@Daz_Stap]

Personally, I'd love this car over here in the UK, it'd make a great weekend show car and would be thoroughly enjoyed.

[@philocleigh]

Even though I personally see this as polishing a turd, great job - as usual. You are a great ASMR fix! 😍

[@nascargas]

I wouldnt engine swap anything. Unless the block is cracked. Then Id source another same year 6 cyl. The 64 1/2 Mustang was a straight 6. All 6 cyl Mustangs are nods to the original. And really it would look awesome at the mall, drive in, school parking lots and car shows. You dont need massive Cobra power to cruise Highway 1 along the California coastline. The top down wind in your hair and your favorite tunes on the radio is reall all thats needed for an authentic Mustang experience. On the dash styling. That too is a nod to the OG Mustang dash. Two accented zones that match each other. Keep em coming Boys. Cant wait for the Ferrari episode....ooops. did I let the cat outa the bag? 😳🤪

[@Ebearm3]

Nice tease at the end! I'm sure my neighbors heard me lol

[@robspedding9520]

Love how in the US a 190bhp V6 is a high-schoolers car. Here in the UK it'll ve something with a one litre engine and 70 brake! We'll still have fake hood scoops though 😊

[@Hitman9_4_0]

Bro love the channel

[@thecapedgremlin0001]

All that effort to remove mould...MMM...I cleaned my 22 year old Rav4 last night taking an hour and 30 minutes (started at about 6:45 pm finished at just after 8:00pm) outside in the cold but humid. The roof and mostly the left side of this 5-door was covered in thick mould from a jackorander tree. I'm only using anti-mould cleaner you use in your bathroom (I used a whole 800 mlt bottle), dishwashing liquid in 14 litre bucket, three buckets with cut-up sheet as clean rag (40 cm roughly square used) and rinse and another 4 clear water for final rinse. It still need a more detailed wash but removed 99.99 percent of everything and will kill any reminder mould. I had to stop as its winter here in Aussie...lol...! Update note: mould on car for 3 & a 1/2 years!

[@mtw2025]

That is a 2003 Mustang LX with the Pony package. I used to have one in gray that was the hatchback and not the convertible. To me a V6 is plenty fast and has better gas mileage than a GT, plus it's much cheaper on insurance. I never understood why people need more horsepower unless they are racing and that should only be done on a track and not the open road where you could cause an accident and hurt or kill yourself or others. Yes, I'm 53, but even as a teen I drove the posted speed limit and only drove over it if other traffic was going faster to stay with the flow. I haven't had a speeding ticket since I was 19 years old and am now 53. Love this body style, but when I was younger I loved the 1987 - 1992 Mustang GT hatchback. Back then you could definitely tell the difference between an LX and a GT, but now even the base cars look almost the same other than wheels or tech features.

[@TheBrianKelley1]

Looks like a 512 BB. Very nice!

[@bgreen1267]

I have an 03 "New Edge"(proper platform name). I replaced my 3.8l with a 4.2l from an F(or E)150. Direct replacement. More torque. Slightly more power. Can get a remanufactured one with warranty for under $3000

[@rayphillips332]

I'd put a 5.0 high output 302 cu inch out of a Lincoln markVll

[@bettyswallox1240]

I assume the boot/trunk was immaculate🤔

[@RonnieSmith-f5v]

I have learned so much from you guys Love your videos How can I get hold of some puro apc?
