2005 Mustang Revivial Thread! A Lost Pony Comes Back To Life!

Ok so I bought another V6 mustang. BUT this was pretty much a deal I couldn't pass up. Since I'm driving the Saturn right now, I think that this will make for a better daily driver than the Saturn, and I have every intention of either dropping a 5.0 into it, or if I'm too lazy I'll just flip it for a profit when I'm done. And it's kinda cool cause it's the same model and color as my wife's.

Story is I had a girl trade this 05 mustang in for a Jeep. Sales manager and I agreed to give her $1000 for it based on the condition it was in. Had to replace the battery in her Jeep and since we weren't making any money on the deal in the first place, boss said he was tacking it onto the cost of the trade making it $1200. I get to buy cars for $100 over our cost, hence $1,300 mustang.

It's Satin Silver exactly like my wifes, even has the same black stripe and all. V6 Automatic with red leather. Now let's get into the bad. This girl was the biggest pig you've seen in your entire life. Here's some pics from when I first traded the car in.

Day 1
So after getting a ****ing mask and gloves, I start emptying the trunk out.

Along with empty vodka bottles, fast food wrappers, and more I found 9 of these in the trunk. Apparently she would just eat yogurt, and toss the empty container into the trunk.

Moved to the inside. Let us look at how disgusting this ***** was.
The film of dirt on every inch of everything

And yes that white **** you see in the back of all the trash, had some mold in the carpet.

So I pull out the extractor and scrub brush and hit the carpet with hot water, and some chemicals.

Day 3
Decided to get to work on some of the interior stuff. Let us look at the E-brake. Groce!

Now lettuce see what made me almost puke. I start using a screw driver to chip the stuck coins out of the drink holder.

But one of the detailers gave me some all purpose to spray in and leave it over night.

I come back and find that some of it has drained. Oh great, now it's a sludge and where did the liquid go? Well I put some gloves on and start feeling around to find that there is what appears to be a hole in the rear of the cup holder. But it isn't. There is apparently and insert in there I didn't know about.

What I found under the insert almost made me puke.

So I took the wet vac and sucked it out, then got to cleaning.

They came out pretty good.

Today I stuck the spare tire on so that I can move it around the parking lot and drive it to Brice's house.

Decided to try to fix the door sill plate so I finished peeling it all the way off.

And got to cleaning with the intention of double sided taping the plate back onto the door sill.

Except that when it was done, I didn't dislike it. I kind of like it better without the plate. So for now that's how it's staying.

And just an hour ago I decided to move on to the shifter. Because of the ketchup packets and **** in there it was sticking and really hard to push it down into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even back into drive from there.

And that's it for now. Gonna try and post some more as I go.

Cleaning up nicely.

I am also confused on the 1300 vs 5000 offer.

Sounds like you kinda took advantage of her by the way you tell it. I'm guessing you just worked the numbers for a lower sale price instead of showing high trade value.


.... but my goodness.... that is the dirtiest car I've ever seen.

yeah... what's the intent of the thread? to show how well you cleaned up a "gross" 2005 mustang? or how you got the car for 1300? I'm confused.

Maybe it's both?

my 2 cents, I wouldn't want a part in either.

I can't believe the manager wanted to give her $5K. The work to get her CRAP out of it and clean the car up at all is ludicrous. Good on ya OP, but really... the *mold*, people. That's... ugh.

By the way, carpet is pretty cheap for that car:

I'm spending the $219 than deal with the cleaning.

I woulda passed, even for $1k. I mean.. man, you're braver than I, sir.

Considering how she kept the car and it's cleanliness... I can form an opinion. I'd handle those things with a coat hanger and gloves.

If that's what the interior looks like, I bet it has had zero maintenance over the life of the vehicle. I bet powertrain problems will be numerous in the near future.
