Sleazy's Garage
In this video we continue where we left off in the last one. Replacing the wire wheel, cleaning and painting some parts, and getting back underneath it to work on the underneath again. We're getting really close to finishing this part and I really can't wait until it's done.
We've all had that one consumable that worked really well and we knew it wouldn't last forever but we just hoped we'd have a bit more time. Amazon is no longer selling this one either...
Finally used it up doing underbody restoration on my fox body - Wooo, episode 50! In this cursed episode I first did a super quick and dirty alignment to get the toe set on my 1989 Ford Mustang GT restomod project. After that I attempted to clean up the underbody a bit. I successfully installed the Steed clutch quadrant on my pedal bracket. Then I tried to install some door hinge pins, and finally I failed at removing a stuck bolt from one of the door anchor pads. Every now and then you have one of those days, but I'm just grateful to be back in the garage after a brief hiatus.
Finishing the Rear Suspension and Assembling my Hydroboost - In this video I re-assembled the hydroboost with a new master cylinder and took another shot at installing the upper torque box reinforcement brace. I have to modify the rear brake body mount but I think it's easier to modify than the cross bar.
It was going great until the welding, tbh. I just reaaaaally suck at welding thin sheet metal. At least the big hole is gone.
Patching floor pan rust in my fox body Mustang restomod - It's finally time to patch that one rust hole we found in the floor pan. This is definitely outside my comfort zone and I think the final result isn't ideal but not bad for my skill level.
Replaced the tires on my wife's Ford Edge even though they had a ton of tread life left. I'm well aware that tire dressing helps keep this from happening but I guess I didn't do it frequently enough. Oh well, I didn't trust these anymore.
Daily Driver Maintenance for 2023 - It's that time of the year again, when all the vehicle maintenance happens at the same time. I had to do an oil change on the 2016 Ford Edge and the 2019 Ford F-150. The Edge also needed new tires and I did the rear brakes including showing how to set the electric parking brakes into maintenance mode. My snow blower also needed an oil change. Finally we throw some new wipers onto both vehicles.
Short version of using dry ice to remove the factory stick-on insulation in my 1989 Ford Mustang foxbody restomod project.
Prepping my hydroboost for install and removing the factory sound deadener in my Mustang Restomod - I restored some of the rusty parts for the fox body restomod project. This included the hydroboost unit, the rear bumper crash attenuators, and the fuel tank straps. I also got some dry ice from a flash frozen steak delivery service so I wanted to give a try using it to peel the remaining factory NVH insulation off.
