Why not take the seats out to get all the “poop” out from under as well?
Those old sunroofs wer also held by panel bond type of sealant, I think it has lost it's life.
I HAVE THE SAME MUSTANG THAT I BOUGHT BACK IN 1995 AND I STILL HAVE IT TODAY AND I WILL NEVER SELL IT.
Me me me me

When I was a kid I’d wait for Saturday morning Pokémon episodes- now as an adult I wait for your Saturday morning videos lol
Agreed
It’s addicting
#Facts
Same lol… ‘91 baby!
Me too!
Alex, you’re cranking these videos out. Keep ‘‘em coming. Very entertaining and informative. Peter and you make a great combo. Peter make some hilarious faces.
Im really glad you have Peter with you full time now. Not only is he handy, but pretty funny and entertaining too. Certainly adds to the channel! Keep up the great work Alex!
This has been a fun series to watch! Just as a quick tip - while the clutch and everything is out, it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and do the rear main seal.
There is no way that rear main wasn’t leaking after sitting for so long!
My 302 leaked there super common after sitting
As far as the life of a car goes, this Fox Body has won the lottery when it was picked up by you guys. Peter doing Peter things never disappoints. He’s hilarious. Another great Saturday morning! Your momma looks like a sweet lady.
I love how you're helping these kids with just content in return! You're doing an absolute amazing thing Alex, helping these kids, mentoring them and keeping some of their generation into cars! Keep up the amazing work, I'm always ready for your content.
There needs to be a path for the young for electric vehicles.
@@tsriftsal3581 how can there be a path for youth with electric vehicles, you’re not learning much when it comes to a vehicle running off a battery and some wires lol
And also less fun there’s no entertainment and much knowledge in that
@@tsriftsal3581 electric vehicles are so far overrated.
@@ramadwilliams3286 that is what we are being sold. It doesn't matter. The machine is moving in a new direction to fleece us and drive "growth" for stockholders and justify huge salaries and bonuses.
Thinking that maintenance requirements will be lower that ICE powered autos is horse hockey when those that can't be bothered with basic maintenance like oil changes, saving for inevitable battery replacements or even keeping tires properly inflated.
Why do you think we are deflating the dollar by pumping out money for the Ukraine, Russia situation. Could it be about lithium? Hmmm?
Props to Peter applying that ceramic coating to that one section of the driver side wiper arm.
How a car not liked anymore is a treasure for another guy, a basic care and learning will gives you a nice car for years to come.
Watched your video. Suggestion: when you were doing the interior work, after spraying cleaner on the surfaces of the panels, instruments, etc. use a steamer on them. The dirt and grime will just wipe off without any work at all. I also use the steamer on deeply soiled seats, carpet, etc. , especially if you are trying to get rid of smoke smells. The steamer works to loosen the grime better than just the cleaner alone.
Alex does use the steamer but i guess he didnt bring it out this video
Another bonus with steaming is it also disinfects which would be handy here since rodents lived in there.
It was very cool seeing this at the show. The before and after sides look even "better" in person. And double thanks for sneaking our rides into the background at the car show!! 👍🙂👍 The GMC RV and the red Mini are ours. You and Peter and LSC are great!
Nice Mini Wagon (Estate), those are becoming scarce now. The GMC RV was ahead of its time with the Oldsmobile fwd power pack drivetrain!
Make a video of the RV!
@@Aiurasensei it's in the works!
I honestly thought he'd comment on the EARLY 60's Mini Estate, as they'd be rare in the UK now, let alone in the US !!
When did you ship the Mini estate to the USA 🇺🇸? Do you get comments about the number plates?
I still have a 1992 Mustang GT I bought brand new. I love seeing these old Fox bodies being restored to their former glory!
I love this project in particular. I was born in 88 and my dad bought an 87 Mustang 5.0 FB when i was little. His was the same color. I was always told it was going to be mine when i got older however, due to some financial issues between my parents he sadly had to sell it. Anytime i see one (which is a little more rare these days) it brings back some serious nostalgia. This car will always hit that warm spot in my heart as it takes me back to an awesome time in my childhood. So glad to see you guys take on this project and loved watching the restoration. Thank you for sharing with us!
I use to Detail cars, you should make your own wet vac extractor using a tutorial on RUclips, that way it's incredibly strong suction + you use your shop vac as the "sucking power". It cost about $200 to get a good setup but it's well worth it!
The rivets are gone at the t tops and when you get new seals for the t tops you can fix that cause I just done mine and it's a fun job... but that's factory paint and there's over spray from the factory
Did Ford use rivets to secure the roof skin to the roof braces or a combination of rivets and panel adhesive?
Yeah, Ford didn’t even produce the T-Top cars, or convertibles themselves!! They sent completed cars to a 3rd party, Cars and Concepts in Brighton, Michigan for the conversions!! There are a lot of hidden sins under the roof skins of those T-Top cars?! Rivets, bare steel mending plates etc. I’ve heard them compared to erector set construction!! Lol Clearly something has failed on this particular car, not a factory defect from Ford.
@@Metalcop5150 Gotcha. I had forgotten the t tops were sub-contracted out.
I had an '83 mustang 5.0 notchback with red interior in the 1990s. No rust, but the California sun destroyed the interior. Dash was dissolving, headliner had to be replaced, and the seats were turning sunbleach white on top. The kid's Foxbody cleaned up REAL good! Look out for the heater core; it could go any day!
Your videos are always so inspiring. It makes me feel like I could do this kind of stuff myself. Unfortunately I seem to break 10 things every time I touch my cars. Your passion for cars comes through in every video and we’re always waiting for the next one to come out! Thanks for always bringing such a positive energy and for sharing your expertise.
The fox body GT wing is super easy to remove. You’d buff the hatch itself with the wing off.
He said he’s replacing hatch. It would be a waste of time/effort.
@@jonsmith6496 he also asked specifically how that spot under the wing would be done.
Alex, love your sense of humor!
These old 5.0’s are actually very reliable and bulletproof cars. I had a 93 cobra and a 87 GT back in the 90’s. They never gave me any issues. I currently own a 88 GT vert manual with 57k original miles.
The Italian mom on your car paperwork is so perfect
watching this series takes me back to High School - these were new then and running around everywhere. so much fun
The TFI module has a design temp of 257F. It's mounted in a bad spot for temp and Ford reluctantly had a massive recall. When they get hot they shut off and I suppose the thermal cycling wears them out. I had one on an 84 Escort that died regularly. The article I read suggested moving it to a cooler place or carrying a spare or two. Often the car will run again when it cools off.
I had a new then 82'GT that started to shutoff after it was 2 years old and had 20k on the odo. I would up trading it as I was about to get married to a lady with a daughter.
Mine was not recalled.
Replacement TFI's have a higher thermal limit.
I fixed my issues with a relocation kit from fatfoxx.
IT'S CRAZY TO THINK THAT BACK IN THE 90S MY 87 MUSTANG GT WAS A FAST CAR AND EVEN TODAY IT'S A FAST CAR AND WHY LOL THEY DON'T WEIGH MUCH AT ALL.
As a chicagoan I love your content and my dad had a fiat polski back home thanks for yet another video this satureday can't wait for the next one
I have really enjoyed watching y'all getting this mustang back running. I sure miss my 87 mustang.
i gotta say i’ve been loving the videos so much more ever since LSC got a shop and Peter became a regular.
I realize your creating content with the fox body and I love it but it’s also awesome that you’re helping that young man get his car back into shape! It’s great to see that there are still selfless people such as yourself .Keep up the great work !
Man, super satisfying to see the difference in that hood! Great work!
Thanks Michael!
So excited to see the GMC Motor Home in the background at the show! Wish I lived close enough to meet you at one of your events. Please don’t ever change. Your channel is so awesome.
One of my favorite RUclips channels. The DIY focus is really helpful and motivating. When I’m detailing now I think, “This is so satisfying.”
When this series first started I thought you were crazy for paying that much but what a transformation!!! I would have jumped on this with NO hesitation. I would love, LOVE to add this 'Stang to my Ford collection. Pre-airbag? CHECK. T-Top? CHECK. Manual trans? CHECK. 5 Liter V8? CHECK! She is a great spec!!
The 1987 and 88 had the better seats, then the later models. Ford always finds a way to cut costs per unit. If I remember correctly the seats were designed by Recaro and built under license by Ford.
Dude!!! I cannot believe your holding that high pressure nozzle that close to the paint!
2 things ive never done before. Watch a RUclips video from front to back. And second I've never commented on one before, i literally just figured it out now after watching all the foxbody videos. You guys are outstanding. The videos were incredible. Your enthusiasm, the bits of information plus little secrets you throw in and the fact that you were having a good time just doing what YOU GUYS DO AND NOT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING. Made it impossible for me to stop watching. And the car show. Was perfect. Real people Real cars. Keep up the good work. Like i said this is all a first for me. Including doing whatever else i can to support the channel. Im now going to figure out how to subscribe to a RUclips channel. Love to see what you guys got up next
Fuck were u on RUclips for then 😭
Love these types of series. Cars like this are such a great bang for the buck.
I hope Eli continues to be a part of your channel. He’s got great energy and is good in front of the camera. LSC could be a great apprenticeship for him.
Exactly what I was thinking. If Eli could apprentice under Alex would be sooooo very cool.
not anymore they are going for like 5k to start!
Alex, I have been watching your channel for years. I look forward the the next one and alway learn something. Entertaining is another bonus. You have taken this channel to the next level with the addition of Peter and your editor. I which you would do another colab with my other local favorite WatchJRGo soon. Keep up the great work!
When cleaning cars as dirty as the mustang it really helps to spray apc all over the car and use purple power vehicle and boat wash. They both do a great job of breaking down heavy dirt.
I always watch your videos while eating breakfast. This is the first time ever in which I had to put the fork down. The sight of that brown water circulating through the Bissel absolutely killed my appetite. I wouldn't drink that water even for $110K !!!
I'm loving this Mustang series. These videos are really fun to watch.
It's amazing what transformation a good buff/wax/detail can do. Love the Jekyll/Hyde look at 22:45 lol
I love seeing the Foxbody content! Such a cool car! It’s very, very deserving of all of the work on it! P.S. You have to keep Eli around making appearances, he just slots in so well with you guys!!
I have really enjoyed the fox body content. To see where this car is now is absolutely amazing. Truly a diamond in the rough. Looking forward to more updates on this old pony 👍
Ammo Inc had a really small low profile buffer, I think it has like a 1inch pad
Good to see Eli putting in some sweat equity.
Oh man! Eli is so damn lucky to have you guys as friends. Love your content!!!
Peter was the best add to the channel. He's cool, y'all make a great team.
The Mustang is looking great! My 87 LX hatch is the same color, and it looked pretty good after I did a compound, polish and wax. It looked great for about 20 years, and then the paint wore down to the primer in a lot of places. Great job guys! And if you didn't know, make sure you get a GT hatch as the LX hatch has a bunch more holes that would be visible under the spoiler.
I have truly enjoyed watching this series and h9w you've brought this old girl back to life. It really is amazing what time, a little knowledge, and a lot of elbow grease can do. Looking forward to more videos of this car and all if your other work as well. Keep up the great work!
I bought one that has been sitting since 2008 and I'm going to do the same kind of ordeal so it was really nice to watch how it all came together. I love how you did multiple "episodes" I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THESE. I hope to see the mustang again.
I’m only 2 minutes in, but wouldn’t it have made more sense to clean the drivers side instead, so you could see out the window?!? 🤣😂😆
Loving this series bro!!
Can't wait for the fox body clutch change video, and after this, the Audi detail video, and the C63 engine video and...and...and...the ones we have not seen for a while! So much great content Alex! And Peter is a very funny, incredibly likeable part of your channel. He gives off such a great vibe.
Definitely a “Satisfying” video.
Well done Alex, Peter, and Eli.
Awesome content. I get excited every time I see you have a new video up. I was so entertain I didn’t realize the video was almost an hour long until the end
Even though I owned a Camaro in high school, I've been loving this series! I wish that barn find IROC would have been a success story too 😉
I used to detail all my cars by hand. It was quite a workout. We'd also use rubbing compoud and polishing compound. This was before clear coat. I continued to polish by hand after clear coat with different products. To this day I still polish the tough to reach areas by hand. I don't have a small polisher.
Thanks, that was a great video, a lot of fun to watch. You know what impressed me most about you? How you dealt with those spiders. That was awesome, you actually seem to have a respect for all living creatures. That is a rare quality in most human beings. Instead of destroying those lowly insects, You sympathized and let them go! Thank you, keep it up and best wishes to you and your Channel.
So good seeing all that brown gunk come out of the seats! Such a satisfying feeling! Gotta do this to my old beater one day!!
I really loved watching this series! It was very well done, and what a great result that Mustang turned out to be. I'm going through a similar revival project of my own, and I'm glad to see that I'm doing the same things as you all are.
Other car content creators really need to take note of you and your channel. Always a good watch. Great variety of work and vehicles. Thank you for all your hard work.
Alex, your videos are a learning experience, even for an old man like me. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are a great and honest approach of what the everyday person can achieve on their own.
It’s not a 100 point exterior restoration but MAN it looks excellent!
Great job Gentlemen & Thank You for putting out great stuff!
God Bless
😎
This is seriously one of the best refresh videos I have seen. The best part is it's a great car and a great cause for a great kid. I hope to see you do something similar in the future with another young car enthusiast.
Thanks man much appreciated!!!
Ammo NYC would be disappointed with the harsh method. Looks great! But really, a foam cannon and soak would have been a great idea before the power washer.
I am sure they will do a final go through after the show. This is just to make it look a bit nicer for the show.
Would be nice to see how you fix the roof panel behind the t top never seen a panel move like that before
Loving this series and your channel, Alex. You and Peter make a great team.
I have learned that when cleaning carpet or upholstery it's best to spray your detergent on with a separate sprayer, then run only clean water through the carpet cleaner or upholstery machine to rinse the detergent out of the material. This way, detergent isn't staying in the carpeting or upholstery material and attracting more dirt, since that's what soaps and detergents do.
Keep up the good work!
Alex, simply the best, you are a great human. Family man, Very Funny, Intelligent, great content and gives back. Thank you for what you do!
I'm really lichen this detail! 🤣 So satisfying to watch the cleanup!
So looking forward to this one! I know she’s gonna look great! I remember my foxbody leaking at the t-tops! Had a red interior on my 86 gt! Might have to get one of those machines! Looks incredible! A lot of tlc she looks awesome!
You guys did a great job of cleaning up this car. I wanted to make a joke about how well you polish knobs but I thought I’d leave it… I really like what you do & enjoy following your Channel in all seriousness. Keep up the good work!
Love mustangs from the 80s, my dad had a lot of them. He even had the first mustang imported to my country back in the 60s(he worked many years for Ford) but from what he told me, he had to sell it due to the amount of attention he was getting from ladies and also moms request 😅
These detail videos are always so satisfying! Great content 🔥
Well done!!! Great outcome, thus far. Looking forward to more!
This an awesome transformation. I really loved that model back when I was a teenager. Now as an adult I kind of forgot about it, but watching this video brought me a lot of memories . Thanks for sharing
Love this car!!! Remember vividly a kid at my school driving one that was exactly like that. Color, stripe, t-tops, red interior. That car was the baddest car in the parking lot in 1987!!!
Great content guys real fun to watch keep up 👌
I stand corrected as far as the mileage being once around the clock, but it has held up remarkably well- like, amazingly well! I've been looking forward to this episode, and all your episodes actually. Please don't lose your mojo like many of your YT pals have... It's the basics, the forgotten nuggets I, and I think many of your fans love. Of course we want you to be successful and build the channel, but sadly many lose the origin story...
#Keep on keepin' on.
J.
148k isn't shit on one of these its one of fords most reliable engines!
The best thing is you always find and build the nostalgic rides it's the best.
Love that color it's going to look amazing when it's all done !
Great video and transformation. Just a suggestion, if you are replacing the clutch I would upgrade the clutch cable and quadrant. The factory plastic quadrant has a tendency to crack and break with age and plastic becoming brittle.
Completely agree
The quarter windows that say mustang on them can not be replaced with windows that say mustang so be very careful with them
Faded / dirty red after buffed or cleaning those seats, looooks soooo drooling good. Red on red or white on red,that looks so imazing goooood. Love it, love our work dude, and Peter of course too!
Cars that were made in the eighties and early nineties are a masterpiece that will not be repeated
Excelente, ficou muito bom o resultado após a lavagem e polimento. Parabéns 👏👏👏
So love this series- had an '87 LX 5.0 white with the red interior. Memories include the busted center ash tray (which everyone had), and the latch for the center console breaking off (repaired with epoxy). No T-tops on mine but had a working map light in the center roof that would turn to any direction. Had a great sound system as well (after market). Also having to buy the climate knobs from ford for $10 a piece because they always would break in the center and just spin around.
Do you have a broken ash tray cover?
Do you have the broken latch on the center console?
Do any of you climate knobs just spin?
All the climate knobs work, the ash tray works, and the latch for the center counsel works too!
@@EliHasan Awesome- hope I did not curse you by asking!
@@ericschuster5929 hahahaha let’s hope not
I can't be the only one checking out Foxbody's to buy after this series, right? 😄These old restorations are the best!
one of my favorite mustangs . such a great job with that unmolested foxbody. hope to see more of it!
What a transformation. Looking forward to seeing what gets done next (clutch, hatch, paint, decals). While I'm not necessarily a Ford guy, it is nice to see how well this car has cleaned up and how well it runs after sitting for all those years. Oh, and I like the 'Chevrolet' rear license plate frame..... :) Cheers
Honestly, with a car in this shape I'd start with an immediate foam cannon blast and let it soak in. Or even just mix up some soap and water, then apply it to the surface and soak. That debris is quite caked on, so you're going to have to be significantly more aggressive with a pressure washer, which is 1. more work and 2. risks damaging the paint.
Let the power of soap work for you, you can even do multiple soak and rinse cycles. Think of it like a really baked-in pan: you can either grab a brush and go to town, or let it soak for a few hours in soap and water...which one is easier and less aggressive? Same thing here.
Another thing: foam cannons are meant to be a touch-free step to remove debris via micelles, but they come at the cost of using significantly more soap. So, if all you're going to do is spray on the foam cannon and immediately use your mitts on them, you might as well not even use the foam cannon
cool story bro.
Another great entertaining video Alex! Also, I really like Peter and his personality. Glad you added him to the channel and team. Been following you for many years and like always, awesome content 👍🏼👍🏼
Literally awesome series no joke! Always looking forward to the next video Alex great work!
Great video, big fan of the channel! Question, I thought you concluded it had 43k miles on the odometer vs. 143k based on the condition of the interior and the original plug wires?
In the 2nd video I mention that I ran a carfax and it had more than 43k miles many years ago.
It's probably not the clutch welded to the flywheel, I mean it could be, but unlikely. Check the stupid self adjuster that's on the clutch pedal! The teeth rip off of it. I had to replace that thing twice on my mustang, along with several others of friends mustangs.
Thinking same or the hyd clutch slave cylinder not holding line pressure.
@@ianmacneill8951 they do not have slave cylinders in the fox bodies. Fork with throw out bearing.
@@ClayBonics OK thanks for that. Tried to find it via Google with no joy!
@@ianmacneill8951 lol, no problem. On the right track though I had a s197 Mustang 2006 GT, had a similar issue as you said. Slave cylinder came apart and could not shift. Think it had 19k miles
I got stuck driving my '74 International pickup home without a clutch back in the late 80s. It's all fun and games until you see a yellow light up ahead! Good times.
Great video!
Great timing! I saw one of these (same color too!) for sale near my house and was thinking about you guys and the car. And I finally get to settle down for the night to some awesome entertainment!
It’s been 2 months, where’s an update?
Now it's 3 months. Still nothing.

Amazing how well that Mustang cleaned up, Alex! Those products you use really work well!
I have been patiently awaiting this video and as usual, didn’t disappoint. The car turned out incredible! What an clean original car.
Old Mustangs were def Found On Road Dead material, weren't they?
Glad Ford got their heads out of their rear ends on the newer models. Had my 2013 Mustang for 8 years, and outside of a Water Pump failure nothing near this bad.
The distributor mounted TFI module was a bad design, later on in 1990 Ford moved the TFI module to the inner fender or firewall with a heat sink to mitigate heat failures. Unfortunately the Asian manufactured TFI modules have a very high failure rate. An original used Motorcraft TFI module from a junkyard donor car are more reliable!
Are you seriously comparing the reliability of a 9 year old car to an abandoned 30+ year old car? . Those "old Mustangs" are known to be VERY reliable cars.
OK, now we need a LSC Dago Tee in the merch store.
I love this Channel. Your videos are never boring they are top notch and with Peter now it’s even better. Keep it 💯💪🏻 a million subs coming soon!
