How is your girlfriend enjoying Christmas Day ……..ALONE!
They are Jewish. They celebrated Hanukkah already so Christmas day is just another day for their family.
Not that it’s any of your business but we are Jewish so we don’t celebrate Christmas, we celebrate Hanukkah. 🕎
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 these trolls never quit

Beautiful car u got a new subscriber
They never quit like their Moms

I enjoy the Rebuilds part of Auto Auction Rebuilds. The yard walks are interesting, but I missed seeing basket cases coming back together. The Swamp Vette saga was one of my favorite series. I think a mix of Find It, Fix It, Flip It works well.
I have an 05 GT since new,I have never changed anything from factory. It just makes sense to keep them original.
Take that METAL CHAIN off of the battery
It's your car, your way. If I were u, I will revert all to stock too..especially for a car like this. Its much valuable when it's close to factory specs compared to a modified one
Randy do a "base idle reset" on the car, that usually will solve alot of problems. I would fix the exhaust leak also. And get a good fenderwell cold air intake or an Anderson power pipe and get rid of the plumbing pipe, lol. You're doing good so far, I would've put everything back as well
Good morning Randy. Bringing back the original parts to the 1995 Ford Mustang Foxbody. When you decide to sell the car hopefully you'll make money on it.
Best thing I found for changing oil on my lift is to take a Rubbermaid garbage can lid and cut a hole in it and send it on top of my oil catcher increases the diameter by 100% and allows for less messes just thought I'd pass the tip along
100% you did the right thing!
That wiring job was nothing short of a complete shit show! It had to go!
Now it looks like you have the cooling system working like it should.
Great job on both!
If it were me, I'd get another battery hold down clamp. That chain that's on there might work, but its not the best looking setup. Do what you want though.
You might want to order some header gaskets, while you're at it. The driver's side doesn't look that bad, but the passenger side looks like it would be no fun to change. Those damn headers can be a pain, more often than not.
Love that car! It is going to be so much fun to cruise!
As always, great video! Looking forward to the next one!
I like the stock look too . Randy thank you for taking time to give us theses videos. I wish you nothing the best and a very successful 2024
I appreciate that!
I subbed when you started posting this car. Check your speedo, with gears in the rear and different gears for the cluster there's a good chance it's not accurate. Also if you want it stock and to make money off parts sell that spoiler. Those are highly desirable and could bring half of what you paid for the car. That plastic pipe intake needs to go too.
Had a completely different vehicle with that surging problem; it would idle fine, accelerate fine, but it would buck & surge at any constant speed over about 20 mph. No leaks in the exhaust (1st thing I checked), fuel pressure was spot-on, no vacuum issues. Turned out to be a badly worn distributor.
Thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind!
Great improvements so far. Please remove the cobra emblems and windshield graphic next.
I would get rid of the MSD box too. But no not the way better cooling system. I would change the cooling fan control unit for something better. Factory just sucks on any car. They actually don't know whats best. They are about profit margin.
How much do you want for all the stuff that you are removing. It would be great on my Foxbody build.
Very nice old fox body! You don't see too many like this anymore. The nostalgia looking at the gauges brings back many memories of my parents' Teal 1993 SVT Cobra!
I would think the aluminum rad and electric fans would be a lot better for cooling. Maybe the rad will go in another project.
I agree. Return it to stock and sell the add ons!
My 1991 foxbody got stolen out of my driveway was found in Milwaukee Wisconsin and it is destroyed but i am taking it a back fixing it aagin since it was my grandfather car he brought it new in 1991 drove it two years and then it sit 10 years then i got it when i turned 18
Randy I know many people will not agree with me but I agree with your choice to go back to original. I love how the car is turning out. Also as for the Cavalier, please let me know when you want to sell the car. I would really like to get that one from you.
Just realized that has under drive pulleys on it. May not be able to get a stock belt!
Stock is best for daily driver use for sure! Good choice.
No need for any kind of aftermarket chip on the old Mustangs. Just remove the spade connector and bump the timing up according to what octane gas you want to run. I ran 14* back in the day when using 93 octane. The EEC-IV OBD 1 system in you car has the ability to learn and adapt without worrying about emissions unlike the later systems. I assume the only reason to go the aftermarket ignition system was to eliminate all the quirks and issues associated with the factory TFI.
Did you ever figure out what the wire was that ran back up into the dashboard that you cut? Also, the unused plugs could be for fog lights, mine has the plugs hanging out behind the lights because my car doesn’t have fog lights.
Another Awesome Video Thanks Randy
Remove that crappy Bama Tune! it will cause you more issues and heeadaches! trust me! My 90 GT Fox body ran high 11's, with my Vortech SC! Never messed with the OEM Computer!!
Good choice Randy on bringing the mustang back to stock
I'm on your side stock is always more appealing and was meant to perform at peak operation of the vehicle. I hate restorations that have been modified.
Check out brew2l he has videos on how to set tps on the foxbodys really anything you can think of to do to a fox
He's awesome. He deserves more subs!
Yes sir him and you both also puddings fab shop that guys funny he reminds me of visegrip garage
I get going stock. Less problems when stock. I still think you should of just cleaned up the shitty wiring job for the electric fans, etc. Removing that MSD computer was spot on. No need for an aftermarket controller and the stock computer and all the associated conflicts that occur. Nice that the stock clutch fan w/ shroud fixed the cooling issue. Save those electric fans and radiator, someone will want them or you can use for another car that already has electric fans stock.
Glad you changed that radiator...definitely running cooler! Like It Should Be!
Not that it should matter however I do so agree with your idea of returning the mustang back to stock . Enjoy the ride and what makes you smile .
Blessings
People spent more time and money altering these poor fox bodies for minimal gains for more Hp’s. Also those cars rode like crap with stock suspension but that setup on there by looking at the upper mounts it must be a riding brick.
Much clean , good job 👍👍
Randy you did the right thing going back to stock
Looks good
😊
No distespect but maybe you should find something more practical to your capabilities
I'm glad you are working on the cars again Randy,....much better to see you getting them back in order,....have a great New Year,....cheers.
You are doing a great thing bringing this car back to stock, I cant wait to see when you are done with it. Keep up the good content..........Good health in the New Year.......
Good job Randy!! It's good to see you wrenching 👍
Man that looks so much better Randy. I wouldn't mind seeing the chain battery holder get replaced with a more stock version, and the spoiler needs to find another home. 👍👍👍
Looks like your smog pump has been removed. When you go get a new belt take the old one because the OEM size will be too long.
Hey Randy, I just saw your video on the Fox, Buddy Ford Mustang you’re doing a fantastic job on that car buddy. I hope you got more Contant coming for that car which I think you said you did so I can’t wait to see your next video on it I hope you’re having a good Christmas because I know this video came out on Christmas. Are you recorded it on Christmas? It came up today, but anyhow, I can’t wait to see your next video on the fact Buddy must. I guess I’ll talk to you later. Have a good day and tell Jessica and Nick I said merry Christmas and I hope you have a great one. Talk to you later buddy.
get rid of the dog chain holding down the battery
I love the fox body content!
I like the stock look as well. I bought a 1988 5.0 4 speed LX hatchback mustang, brand new. I own the car for 14 years and keep it mainly stock.
One thing bothers me, running the cars with the doors closed. You realy should have an exhaust fan.
I haven't had a problem yet.
Stripped out all the “hi performance” junk out of my car too. Thanks Randy, what you are doing makes a lot of sense.👍👍👍
Thank you!
Actually you can you can just use the rev limiter off the MSD box which is primarily what it's used for
I agree with most of what you did here, but a clutch driven fan is a huge power drain. You’ll see. I’d left that alone. Your car though man. You can paint it purple and put pink polka dots on it if you want. Happy new year.
Make sure you get past that guys house before you romp on it.😊👍
Love seeing quality fox Mustang content. You are 100% correct that the fox are so out of date, it’s silly to make them “performance” cars, get it reliable and driven as a time capsule of how it used to be.
I used to own one, have always thought that the fox body models look more like Escorts than anything close to a Mustang.
If the boombox has a bass reflex port a mouse nest may be present in the boombox.
Randy that car deserves to be stock and now it is! You did a real great job of buttoning things up and making it look better under the hood. We love these cars just as much as you especially the Mustangs. Can't wait for more videos! Great job!👍
Thanks 👍
How dare you do what you want to your own things. Unacceptable!
Right??
Looks great Randy!! I love the stock look as well
Powerflo/(2000)ATLAS(1998) /PURLATOR(2001) which were sold though or Valvoline were a Standard Oil (AMOCO) garage house brand and were done by 1997 when the BP/AMOCO merger started and finalized in 2000.. Also Amoco Ulimate Gold oil was manufactured by Valvoline until the BP/AMOCO merger I worked for an independent Amoco station when I was I was 14(Work Permit Needed) -23. The years were 1994-2003
randy do u want to sell that msd box id be interested in it
This going to be Nick’s first car? Love seeing you working on these Fox Bodies. Reminds me of friday nights in my uncle’s garage
Probably shouldn't do any research first just go for it like the shit show of putting the springs on well when I want to know how not to work on a car I know where to come first 😂😂😂
Who are you kidding? You'll never work on anything. And I like the way I do it better than the way you don't do it.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I have to admit the coil spring replacement was a 'shit show'. However, you said up front to not do it like you were. You probably should invest in some coil spring compressors considering all the vehicles you work on. It would be a real shame for you to lose an eye or use of your hand by doing something so dangerous.
I have 2 sets of coil compressors. Neither fit this car.
Little secret they told me at O'Reillys', their:micro guard" filters, and Wix are made at the same place. Been using micro guard selects on my old 350z and f150 since (air and oil filters) 😀
Since you put that chip in you might have to reset the ecm by unplugging the battery
to reset evrything so it can relearn the new perimeters of the chip, and also
like you mentioned the Idle control? i think you turn the key on(don't run) walk up an unplug
the sensor turn key off and plug it back in then restart and let it run in place for 10 min
then take it out for a run, after 150 mi the ecm should be fully tuned in it's perimeters.
Hay Randy this would have been a great opportunity for a collaboration between you and Chris over at the infamous project.. all Chris does is work on Fox body Mustangs. I know you probably don't know the guy but this would have been an amazing car for that opportunity.
Keep up the amazing work I started watching you when you picked up the old red Dodge Ram from the action got her painted and sent her down the road.
I could actually hear that fan spinning with the clutch engaged in my mind as you were installing it😂😂😂
Awesome work on cars and you can do it hello from Rensselaer Indiana
Love the Stang content! This car looked better with mods imo, but still sharp! Keep it up randy love it!
Randy!!!! Bud how are ya ?
Gotta say you have to be my most favorite RUclipsr. Hands down I love how much content you do on a weekly basis.
I’ve been out of work since last july do to a injury and I sit here and watch your videos til my ass gets sore lol. Anyhow just wanted to reach out again and say great job!! Scott
Gloves Randy Gloves!! There are so many sharp places in engine bay you can cut up your hands in a minute. I have been in the engine bay of my 94 Convertible GT and had learn by experience. I did and update. I saved the original parts and if you are interested in them let me know and I will give you a list and send to you if want. Best of luck to you! So much fun to drive!!!
Code 15 is because you running an aftermarket tune it’s will throw that code. I guess that’s why they ran an MSD on it because the MSD can tell the factory computer that everything is fine and don’t worried about it.
This video is a mood lol. If it’s basically a stock motor I fully agree with this, take all the extra shit off and sell it, pays back for the og parts prices along with gives an extra bit of money for more projects or cleaning up the car. One of my favorite things when I get a new project is rip all the bullshit out and go back to stock 😂😂
Do people really get mad when you take off aftermarket parts? I can 100% see people getting mad if you ruin a 100% factory classic. People are the worst.
My next door neighbor's son sold me a 1989 Jeep Wrangler 5 speed with that same fan speed control and all that nonsense. And I'm going to convert it back to what it's supposed to be. And all it needs is new connecting rods for the engine
Get rid of the msd coil and the surge will probably go away they are really good for 6-8 months then just crapnice foxbody though
Spray paint on the oil filter? Looks like a guy might have given this engine a Craigslist rebuild.
I agree with putting it back original and using the parts for something else or selling them. Good move. I would lose the fake Cobra badges too.
Literally flashing fox body's infront of the kid knowing he wants one n then look to give him a pries just bcz u paying for it that's sad Man n then pretending its a safety issue if u want to do anything for somebody do it properly whole heartedly or leave it out he seems like a responsible kid or get him a pries n a fox body as a project car that he has to work n spend his own time n money getting it to where he wants it to be but hey ut life ur kid not judging just speaking my 2 cents
Wow Québec love Canada 😊
Hi Randy merry Christmas and happy new year I love the mustang content ,and I would take it back to stock also
your radiator looks high on one side mate, great to see it back to stock with a stock engine
I have the same chip on my 94 5.0. The anti theft does the same thing with a weird idle and you can drive it but the car isn’t happy! Great video.
i had a mustang that i carbureted and ran a msd box so i'm not entirely sure but i would think like you that they were fighting each other. its either one or the other. all it was hooked up to was the coil???? should have been running the distributor as well
YOU SHOULD GET A ACURA CL TYPE-s
In the future LMR and others have short videos that may help. So you don’t have to redo a procedure. Hope that helps.
I searched for 5 plus years to find a fox that was stock… just like you, I wanted to do my own mods.
Maybe it's already been said but that car has a smog pump delete so the belt will be short. Looks like the belt could be a lot shorter anyway.
Looks like its got under drive pullies You might want to take them off to if your going all stock.
Hey Randy arr you going to keep the subs because some of that wiring by thr battery might be hooked up to the subwoofers in the back
Ozone deteriorates rubber seals and wiring insulation so be careful.
Yep!! I would have done the same thing with that car. I really like the stock look too.
Can’t wait for the next video! Putting everything back to stock looks great, including the original cluster and seats. Much much better.
How about the Cobra tags and web address on the windshield next? Ha
I think the web address was defunct, and he re registered it to his business if I'm not mistaken. So long ago I'm not sure. Definitely get rid of the cobra tags.
Randy you should video working on all yours cars as you fix them
But its your car you can do what you want with it and if it was their car they can keep it the way they want it
I’m sorry is that a tie rod end attached to a chain holding the battery down? 😅
I'd put the original radiator style and all that back in it.
Its your car do it as you wish going to stock eliminiates issues later
I said lose the box when you first got the car
Randy you might want to look at the egr valve on that car they have been known it cause surging I have had a few of these cars and had that problem a few times. Easy trick to try pull the egr hose off plug it and see if the surging goes away.
Thank you.
Stock is easier for you to work on and like you just said replace parts
Sounds a bit like a cruise control issue
that connector 13:25 is a fog light connector.
You might want to get the factory motor to go in the car
