Imagine, this motor could have been defective before the water got in, and you would test it and missed out on a super deal.... Good on you for taking it apart that really shows how professional you guys are.
What an result there chaps well done excellent vlog, kind regards to you Mark from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Awesome videos. I really enjoy them i got a 2007. Flooded corvette 11 years ago, still driving it today.
Ivan and Mike, I did mechanics for 20 years and I'm still amazed at how everything has changed electronics-wise. I have to say I enjoy your show immensely and how very informative you two are...Keep up the good work. A huge fan here.
Lovely car, almost untouched.
I may have missed something though but as a saltwater flooded vehicle, it may now be dry but unless the bi-carb sorts it, the salt is still there. I would have thought it best to thoroughly wet all the affected areas first to dilute the salt away, then mop it up to dry and then the dehumidifier. I would think if this wasn't done there will still be the risk of rust further down the line.
Sorry if I did miss something and thanks for all the videos but i do like the flood ones!
I was thinking along the same lines especially for the carpet. Hose it down with fresh water on a concrete pad, squeegee it, wet vac it and then throughly dry it. The water level looked low but I'd be concerned about it getting into the interior of the doors and fender wells etc.
Always nice to see you doing a thorough job as always! 👍👍👍
Glad it wasn't bad under the carpet nor any of the connectors under the seats, etc.. Nice looking Mustang with just the basic white/black combo in the GT format. Nice buy on your part even if it was a risk. Sometimes you have just have to!
Remember you disconnected the battery then you started takeing your seats out so that's why the chair didn't move.
Cannot praise DeoxIT enough for cleaning and protecting the electrical connections. I have used in several flood cars with great results.
Great Work! 👍🏽
You certainly do everything correctly 🎉
Wd-40 works good on those connections
Mike I'm from the north east up here they put salt and celcem chloride on the road,s and what we use to stop rust is Fluid film just a thought for you is to get some and spray the floor in the mustang just let it dry before you put the carpet back in and the car should never have a rust problem
Very thorough reconditioning of the car. Suggest you use Odoban to kill any mold spores. Baking soda absorbs the odor, but the Odoban kills the source.
Thanks guys for the Mustang update. A long road ahead awaits them, but their professionalism makes the road easier for them. Success. Happy Thanksgiving break.🦃🦃
Nice and clean I think you got a good one there. Happy thanksgiving to you and both your families Ivan and Michael.
I looked up the Copart listing and it showed a water line halfway up the door. You got really lucky it wasn’t worse inside.
New to your channel and I love what you’re doing here. I really enjoyed the teardown. You’re taking steps I would never have thought of to square away your Mustang!. Great commenters too!
I love your commitment to get it right wish I knew someone like you brothers near me
This Mustang looks Badass.. Mean looking machine.. Gud buy Lads..!!
Looks like you got a win here. Good luck with it.
Good idea using the dehumidifier. I use 35 dehumidifiers in each of my collection of cars in the summer months. They collect about 16 oz of water each. I have to empty each one 2 times a week. They really work and prevent any mold! Love/respect your show! Where is Ivan lately?????
Hey have a happy Thanksgiving you and your family enjoy the videos 😆😅🤣😂
love what you did it truly is a really nice car your voice sounds raspy though you got a real nice deal
If something eating your battery when the car is off , you can use this camera over the fuse box to see which fuse is active. Highly recommended 👍
I think you did well with that car, it could have been much worse. I use an electrical spray like that, and have used it for many years.You can also use it to clean soldered joints, very good stuff.👍👍
Just a thought. first thing you did was disconnect the battery then you try to move the passenger seat? No power no movement. Did i miss something?
I think you got lucky with this one.. Congratulations on picking one of the best cars and taking us with you on this Journey
That clear tube is the Passenger side air bag seat sensor. It is full of water. Pretty slick 9
awesome video , beautiful car glad you saved it
What a nice car.
que belleza de auto!!! muy buen trabajo
I really enjoy your videos. Maybe you could use a camera with good stabilization such as a DJI Pocket 2 or a GoPro Hero 10? Couldn't hurt.
Nice Job Guys
Nice job 👌👌👌👌
I had a Malibu flood car that i took the seat bottom a part then the drive out of the motor to move the seat.Thanks for the video i have been watching a long time. May be a no fear sticker would be good ! I have seen you all do projects that i could not!!! Thank you
AWSOME mustang did you reconnect battery? So you can move seats... Notice that you disconnect it then try to move seats... Very enjoyable videos
Absolutely terrific job, well done. If there had been any way for me to purchase this, I think I’ve gone for it too, but it’s such a long way back to Malvern in the UK. How about doing a Tesla Model S? If you can get hold of one, we absolutely love ours three years in (of 5 total age) & 45,000 miles absolutely perfect. Look forward to next episode.
I live in ny state and never heard of salt spray causing problems with electrical conections , i know if you spray water under the hood cleaning their your car might not start , that i have delt with !
Danke für denn Art Video, Detail...zu sehen. Ist es denn mit Backpulver getan das Salz zu neutralisieren ? Oder was für eine Funktion hat Backpulver?

Enjoyed the video. For your baking soda, try using a (vintage) flour sifter with a squeeze grip. Look on UA-cam to see how it evenly distributed the powder. Less than $15.
Or, ask your grandma if you can borrow hers!
The salt needs to be neutralized and removed otherwise it can get damp and start corroding again. You should have hosed down both sides of the carpet to remove any salt traces, or was it determined to be fresh water? Taste?
Looking good!! Great job!
I am wondering how far the salt water came into the floor beams etc. and what that will do on a long term when it comes to rust.
Nice car i lowet good job, niko good video take some intresting vicle thanks.
Man you lucked out on that one for sure 😆😅🤣😂
Mustangs notoriously have bad drainage cowl vent has plugs underwood need be cleaned water eventually builds in firewall n comes out passenger side under glove box. Also bottom door plugs need be cleaned .
Nice cat find hopefully all goes without issue
The problem is the salt water behind the double panel metal and other places you cant see.
I hope you plan to clean those carpets and spray down the flooring with some cleaner. Would have been best to dilute the salt with some fresh water and give it a good clean before just using baking soda.
Glad the salt water didn't get very far nice job
you would almost want to flood the floor pan with fresh water to dissolve the salt, pull it out and then reflood with a weak water/phosphoric acid mix to neutralise and then wipe down the floor????? If you dehumidify you just leave all the salt behind and car rots out from inside of all those crossmemebers.
Where has your brother been! Great site!
It will pull air in from A/C fresh air inlet and pull water out fresh air
You need to wash the floor pans out to rinse out the salt, drying it out leaves the salt, salt is bad.
When you said the seat was not working the first thing i seen you do was disconnect the Battery would the seat need the power to operate??????? Just asking lol.
Why did you not pressure wash the carpets BEFORE you put baking soda on them???
👍 Nice, how come you did not clean it with fresh water?
What about all the fluids motor oil transmission rear axle brake fluids power steering pump
You hate to get it wet again, but what would a presser washer do to the carpet?
Niko Brothers, I have not a clue, but what does the baking soda do?
Seeing how much is going on for just one seat with the wiring/computers is why I will never mess with a floor car. Doors have all kinds of stuff, the modules on the floor boards etc... no thanks! Still think it should have every single plug taken apart and not just spray cleaner but dielectric grease too.
If you do things right hopefully you only have to do it once. Especially on a project like this half-assing it could lead to a lot of gremlins later.
Any updates on those 2 Silverado you got a while back
I constantly find myself watching these videos at 2x speed, and some times I think is slow.
😊
what a beautiful car! Don't change color or much of anything. Hap Thanksgiving!
Mustang in salt water, Hahahahaha
Why did you disconnect the battery 1st if you needed power to move the seats to get them out?
Just like 1st you said you were going to take the back seats out .
I wonder why you don't think before you do something or say something?
Does it help to use an ozone generator to make sure there isn't any smell
I don't understand how you compare leaving the windows open 12:13 getting the inside of a car wet to salt water?
The seats not moving cause you disconnected the battery 😒
I think the cleaning with high pressure washer is better
Salt water is bad. For connectors, door cavities. Bulb sockets engine computer , etc so different than a fresh water floods
Wassup
Where is ivan..
I don't understand why you didn't wash the carpet to get the salt out of it?
Seat motor wont run with the battery disconnected.
To bad most flooded cars have gone up so high you use to be able to buy them for under a 1000 dollars and that was a new car
Yeah. Gas used the be a quarter and that was a whole gallon. Prices on everything suck.
i used to be a subscriber but I'm not no more but i still WATCH hahahahahahahaha
How can it be sold if it's a salvage title and I can't see anyone paying more than you did, how do you get the salvage title changed.
Dmv paperwork since it’s running and driving no repair is needed depending on the state an inspection will be needed. Other than that it turns to rebuilt title.
@@gimne that's good seeing you guys have a lot invested in it good luck with the everything.
@@krismcdonald6956 I’ve done a couple rebuilds and just know from experience doing so.
Not all FL flooding involved salt water.
You should wipe the floors with fresh water and soap to get the salt out of the car.
You get, how much you pay
Why would an insurance company total this out??? What an easy fix!!!!
Because when you have 20k of cars and you get a picture of a flooded car you're gonna have to approve some claims that aren't really that bad
Great job
It’s a seat not a chair
Just saying
seats not chairs,,just sayin :)
Remember when a seat used to be just a seat?
Remove 4 bolts and out she came! Now you have to be a computer technician to remove a car seat. Lol
They really shouldn't allow flooded cars to be bought and resold
Comment
Im laughing at these comments he makes my 15 year old car has no corrosion under the seats, also we never saw under the drivers seat as if the water level was the same that motor will probably fail down the road also salt never stops
Could have been broke before the flood
Just show the carpet away and buy some new it's not that expensive you're never going to get all the salt out of it
computer modules under a seat? INSANE engineering.... One of Fords worse Ideas....!
Those computers have been under seats for about 20 years now
I like a spray product called deoxit. works great.
Wonder how much a carpet set would cost
What i dont understand is it takes you a week to make a 15 minute video?
