Sleazy's Garage
Once again, I can't believe how far this restoration has come. I know it's a little late but let's take a look back at the progress we made in 2023.
Are these wheel spacers on my 2019 F-150 XLT a BAD IDEA? Doing the world's messiest oil change and correcting the stance of my F-150 by putting some 1.5" wheel spacers on. Yes, I know all the arguments against using spacers. I did research it before doing this and I believe for the way I use my truck they are safe. Do your own research and decide what's right for you and your vehicle. I added them for purely cosmetic reasons.
I can't believe how far this restoration has come - Finally putting the restored dash harness back into the car. This is the first step towards getting the car re-energized. I also put some more sound deadener in under the roof and on the wheel wells.
The hatch is rusty, is it worth trying to save? - Decided to take a break from working on the doors and instead start tackling some last minute rust conversion before the winter really hits hard. I also cleaned up the ceiling and inside wheel wells to get ready for sound deadening. Everything was going OK until I decided to rip the band-aid off and finally look at that hatch rust. After a quick wire wheeling, the results were very upsetting.
Every year I seem to make Halloween decorations out of car junk. This year it's another tire.
Y'all know when the holiday season comes around the garage goes off the rails and we make some silly projects. This year is no different. Slight cringe alert, Lubracio said he's bored so let's make him a friend (programmable face ghost).
Painting my car door and installing the heater box assembly - It's been over a year since I rebuilt the heater box assembly in my foxbody Mustang but now that the firewall is completed, we can reinstall it. But first I have to make sure the blower motor works. And of course, yes there is a bit of work on the driver's side door thrown in as well, but this isn't a door window!
This restoration is unhinged... In this super quick video, I removed the passenger door hinges, and sand blasted the driver's side hinges. I also vacuumed out the door and sprayed a little more rust reformer inside of it to prepare it for primer.
Rust encapsulating my driver's side door - In this video I cleaned up the legendary rust on the window frames and sprayed rust encapsulating on the door itself.
Did we just hire a new garage employee? - It's raining and it's going to be for a few days so in this video I'm finally getting back around to some stuff I put aside.
