Default garage cleaning...

i cleaned up my parents garage, the Mustang has been sitting in the garage for the past 5 years, it all started about 10 years ago my bro blew the head gasket, micky moused it back together not even tourqing the heads, i got it running correct after a masive amount of work after it sat for probably 3-4 years next to the drive way, after discovering no oil pressure and metal in the oil... so pulled the motor, we got a j/y motor and i started putting it in and i lost ambition as i realized i wouldn't get it when done,

it sat in the garage collecting shet in, on, under and around it for the past 5 years here's a pic of what it looked like when i started yesterday



then got it out but had a ton of cleaning to do



all cleaned up! mustang pushed back in! i actually spun the car around inside the garage using the jack ... nothing like pushing a 3200lbs car around yourself



next we'll be putting the stang onto a trailer and sending it to my bro's and the monte will be making it's way there

Nice project. So let me see if I understand this? Your brother used to drive the car. He drove it so hard, the taillights fell off. Is that right? j/k




Once I decided to clean my barn up. I will be dam--ed I found out the thing was full of '57 Chevies.

Who knew????????? (maybe I should clean it up more often?????????)

RJ, someone seems to have stolen the tires off the rims of your pink 57. Or is that a light purple?

Justin, I'm a car guy in general. It's kinda painful to see the `stang sitting in that condition. Hope your bro gets it done.
