Reassembling the Mustang GT rebuild after it returns from paint and fixing 31 years of broken stuff.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- The 1993 Ford Mustang GT convertible project returned from the paint shop, and it is time to put it all back together. In addition to reassembly, there is a few things that need attention after 30 years on the road. The transmission leak, exhaust leaks, window motor, power top and door locks had nothing to do with the accident, but things break, and someone has been here before, so we have some work to do.

I'm seeing a trend here. Pizza Girl helps you install something and she gets a new car. Congrats on the new Moostang Pizza Girl!!
She has worked on more cars than she has gotten. She had a fox body Mustang and in her words, “it was the worst car I ever owned”. It was a red feature car.
Haters are going to hate. Fans, let's gather here and show some love to this exceptional talented youtuber.
You're onto something good, keep it rolling
(Down Under) Saturday morning Vehcor video over a coffee... Thanks Scott.
Enjoy!
I can finally rest at night knowing you saved this one......I haven't watched to the end yet, but I have my fingers crossed for the ICE, ICE, BABY song....LOL
Unfortunately that song is copy written.
The Mustang looks a little different now. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
No problem!
You truly a humanitarian thinking of the people first .
😂
Good to see this one back, it's been a while.
It was 15 weeks to get the title from the state and then a fire. Maybe someone is telling me this should not be on the road.
Love the crowds saved remark. My son has one of these and I always mess with him and send him your vids and the ones of crowds being terrorized by Mustangs.
The S550s are the real problems but you still have to mess with the Ford fans!
Missed you, glad you're back !
Love your work Scott
Another fantastic episode!!!
Happy return Scott ❤
Thanks for the support.
Great video series Scott. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching!
43:35 seconds of stellar bliss! Thank you Scott!
Thanks for the support!
My Father had a '79 Fox Body Mustang, white, 4 cylinder, automatic, I was 19 years old at the time, I'm 64 years old now.
I have a white 86 you could rebuild! 😂
@@vehcor We would love to see you rebuild the white one!
When I was in High School in the mid 70’s I helped my Autoshop Teacher restore a 65, and then a 67 Mustang for two of his sons. But having seen your White Mustang and the fact that I’m 64 years old now, I think that car is beyond my capability. But thanks to your videos, I at least know what to watch out for while I cruise CoPart on line. Thank You.
That Mustang is awesome Scottie .
Thanks!
Been waiting for this one, was wondering if the Fire would derail it. Great work man.
Temporary but it wasn’t in the building so that helped.
8:51 "waiting for that crack" just like 1/4 the population of southside chicago!!!
Hey, that’s offensive! True but offensive! 😂
The wires into the door were for added keyless entry or alarm for the locks. Should have been a couple of relays inside the car.
Meticulous work every time. Good on you man.Kudos
Beautifully done dude. I learned quite a bit myself from this and on top of that, you rebuilt one of the better looking GTs!
I prefer the GT to the LX unless it is a feature car. Thanks for the support.
I remember a friend had one of these in High School. The back seats were really comfortable.
I love the cameos from Pizza Girl and that beautiful dog, which you freaked out when you were spraying wax in that door.
Yeah, not sure why. Maybe it sounded like a cat, she is not a fan!
Awesome video Scott. 🚗🚗🚗
Glad you enjoyed it
@vehcor have a 2012 Taurus. Only reason I own it is because at the time when I was buying it was the only thing I could find that felt was trustworthy for the money I was spending.
As you know they have that number pad on the driver's door. When I bought it they didn't offer a code for it.
Googled as to how I could get it without going through the dealer. Actually found it, not sure that I'll use it much.
I'm the only one that drives it so there's no reason why I wouldn't have a key on me, unless I'm mowing the yard. Then I have to park it in the alley long enough to mow.
That is a very nice car ! Amazing work ! Try an keep your foot off the throttle, there are not many left !
I thought there were not many left but it seems like there is a never ending supply. Finding one that hasn’t been hacked up is the struggle.
It's taken me all day (in Australia) to watch this. And it was totally worth it for the not finishing Mustangs on this channel comment.
Thank you forca great tip. The seat belt receiver always falls back inside. I should have done this years ago.
Frustration provides for adaptation!
This car brings back fond memories for me. I took auto body at Owens community college and a classmate and I spent an entire day trying to mount and adjust a door on a mid 90s fox body and the next week our instructor gave us the battle of the door award he printed off. Just watching this cars rebuild brings a smile to my face.
What year? I took some auto body at owens community college too!
Thanks for the video Scotty! Hey can we get a close up of those door locks? I am pretty sure that Hyundai, KIA and FCA owners have never seen a vehicle with its own security before.
Actually these are very easy to get into, probably the engineer that went onto Kia. 😂
Somewhere there is a retaining clip engineer that just cried.
😂
Welcome back!
Nice seeing you working on your own project again. Be safe and have a great Memorial day weekend (You and the pizza girl)
Thanks! You too!
Pumped to see this finished. Great job so far
First request for an epically moronic burnout. I mean, pour one out for the Nineties yo 😂! Cheers Scott, that ol 'Stang looks great now.
Do you want a blown up fox body trans? Because that is how you get a blown up fox body trans! 😂 it is hard to resist though!
@@vehcor had a friend do exactly that years ago, while driving another friend's mustang. Cheers!
Great video!
Great video as usual DP and MBTS. It's like a comedy show only funnier. Lol.
Nice work on assembling the trim, it’s looking really good.
Man I want this mustang just because of the taillights and now actually good looking headlights and the convertible part is neat
Love this rework Scott! Our favorite fox body was the 87-88 tbird. Had a few of those.
@vehcor the project is coming on out nice. I hope you have a great memorial weekend!
30:35, I'm literally LOLing here seeing you shudder when it hissed at you haha...that's funny right there! (btw, watched it 3x)
Can't wait to see more auction videos!
Maybe I’ll have some upgraded ones!
My wife explains that a strategy to help with my ADD is to make lists. I accept that sometimes, yes, we need milk and not a car trailer made from a VW Beetle. I further accept that said trailer was effectively scrap and we don't have a vehicle with a tow bar. But there is freedom in letting random chance dictate what comes out the box next.
Nice to see you back.
Hey, thanks!
I didn't think it was possible to put back together a Ford of this vintage. Without a can of trim black.
Nice,going to make somebody a nice car,maybe graduation present for recent graduates.great video as always.just keep doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Just in time for summer!
Thanks for the video Scott.
Great Video ! So glad to see the old stang coming back to life . Have a fantastic holiday weekend with the pizza girl and your supervisor ! Plus any bonus with your girls ,well young lady's ! God Bless !
Happy Friday Scott🍻
First comment, too!
Same to you! 🥇
Fox body goodness... What's next, maybe a 4 door Fairmont?
I always liked them.
Great job . Hang in there.
An electric hammer.... Man, you UltraPros have ALL the tools....
😂
Defiantly is a nice looking Stang...Now..Good work bud
Thanks 👍
Wow I have been waiting for the Mustang to show up again! And the Pizza Girl and Supervisor also? This might be too much!!! Thx!!
Thanks. Interesting dis-assembly and re-assembly. Did you meet Pizza Girl through an actual pizza delivery and then asking her to help lift a car part into place?
Nice job looks awesome 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great Scott! That AC switch went out on mine and I totally didn't replace the O ring. It leaked everything out in a couple of days and took me a while to figure it out! 😂
Cameo by Pizza Girl!!! Love it!!
The pizza girl looks like a lady that you don't want to fight with. That's why she gets whatever car she wants. I'm married to a petite lady that is shoulder height to me when she's wearing heels. That little girl definitely makes a big impression. If you don't believe that then you can feel the top of my head! I'm sure Scott knows what I mean.
I put LX tail lights in my 91 GT. Never cared for the GT tail lights. Car is turning out great! I’m really liking it! My grandson asked, Is that a Wolf when he seen your shepherd. No son, that’s a Dog. I don’t think I convinced him! 😂
Fixing plastic, use Super glue and Baking soda, its a hundred times better then epoxy. Glue piece together let dry, add superglue and baking soda around the edges and let dry works every time.
cable ties for the win lol
No parts lost in the fire! 😅
Some, I have to order them again.
Beautiful !
Think of all the crowds that will be saved, guys!
👍🏻😂
Haven’t seen pizza girls mum for ages what have you done to her is she locked in the pizza shop and only permitted out once all the pizzas are gone 😊, great series scott thoroughly enjoyed it, hi from a chilly Ireland this morning 🤭ps am I the only one who sees the irony of a/c on a convertible 😊
Pizza and Spandex for the win.
No pizza? 😞
Your supervisor@ 22:33 clearly wants to go for a ride in this one with the top down.
She wants to ride in anything! 😂 She is not brand loyal!
@@vehcor, well, it is a way of checking your mechanical work. I'm not a ford fan, but I admit to liking this one. It must speak to my preference of toplessness.
5:50 ooooooo shiney!
Nice job. The car is coming together nicely. I don't know about that pizza girl. If she doesn't bring pizza can she really be a pizza girl? She does lend a hand when needed so I guess she is a keeper. Hats off to the fellow Lube Tuber for lending a shop.
Is a whining A/C compressor on a ‘04 grand am a bad bearing? The A/C blows cold still. The engine gets bogged down a bit at idle when the compressor kicks in
Enjoyed that, thanks
Can't wait until you can take apart/put together a Mustang blindfolded 😉😉
The engineers that designed this must have been major stock holders in the fastener manufacturing company.
It’s the way they all did things back then, before the days of clip to assemble cars. 😂
Friday doesn't come soon enough
I hear ya!
Good seeing the pizza lady she does help out once in a while
i absolutely love that car
This should be a really nice car. Scott, is this a customer build, a build to sell or a car you'll hold on to for awhile?
Loving this build! This coming from a 93 Corvette owner 😂
PLEASE! THINK OF THE CARS AND COFFEE crowds. Keep them safe, and keep this off the road! :D lol
😂
24:26 You disappoint me 😂😂😂
Oh won't SOMEONE think of the bystanders! Capt ADD?Nah,Capt Attention To Detail.But man that car has a lot of fasteners-reminds of my C4 Corvette,screws and clips and brackets everywhere.Not as many rivets I don't think..
C4s had soooo many phillips screws everywhere and never mind the 100 nuts for the rear bumper. 😂
19:35 I was wondering if they addressed the problem with the 88+ versions. If you lift the handle you can slide a screwdriver under the handle, through that opening and push the lock/latch open. A flat blade works best, from what I've been "told" of course.
Real nice..
Thanks
Two questions is that the old shop? And did you ever finish the 60 mustang that you was doing the body swap? Keep up the great work
The Shanghai special 😅😂 that's a good one
👍🏻
Question ~ The Mustang GT, being a 1993 model, did you use R-12 when refilling the A/C, or the newer R-134a charge?
R134
EVERY convertible owner uses the AC (or heat) to have the top down when the weather is a wee bit beyond ultra-comfort.
Is this the mustang some of your veiwers kept asking if you were gonna fix/finish?
Like he said, fasteners to hold the bumper on, Ford used to care about those mustangs going through the crowds mowing over people can’t lose their bumper because it’s fastened on 😂
Scott you crack me up. Great video as always. What type of Pop rivets do you use? Stainless steel or aluminum? Sorry I'm an idiot.
Mustang with back kiddie seats. Has that ever changed?
27:39 is that actually a gear driven window? Man, haven't seen those since....'93 I guess haha. Are the front windows gear driven too?
Yes, gears all around. It was the latest tech back then! 😂
@@vehcor I don't remember ever having to replace any tracks or gears in the windows, just motors and switches. I've had to do two in my F150 so far.
I know you didn't torque any of the fasteners to manufacturers spec. because I didn't hear, "click" one time. 😆 Call the QC shepherd.
+2 Internet points for the obscure Dodgeball reference.
Inquiring minds want to know if the scrap of trailer wire went “into the pile”, or got saved for future wiring.
The pile!
They look like the same door handles as used on the Australian Ford Falcons (XD-XF) which are so notorious for failing that they are a meme.
A little foreshadowing at the end of the video...."if we come back".... and then the shop burns down.
It was actually a couple months after it was filmed but, yeah.
how long until this one finds its crowd at cars and coffee?
i thought u used WURTH cavity wax?? i bought a bunch if it
I do for the gun for the big stuff or coating complete panels.
