Building The Perfect Mustang
I bought a new drift car. And I spent $10,000 on parts to build it. This is a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, and although these things are known for fishtailing into crowds leaving car meets, I am going to build this to do fast, controlled slides. I hope you enjoy the build, I am super stoked to test this thing on the track

This is my ae86. I love this car. The old owner lived just down the road from me, and I would stop in and ask about it every few weeks for years, until he finally sold it to me. I had no time or space to work on it, so it sat for a few years. I tried to drive it and realized it needed tons of work. I replaced the clutch. Then realized the brakes didnt work.

i have a 3v too so i’m so stoked to see this build!
Thanks dude! What have you got done with yours?
Why a drift car 😊😊
Because drifting is a ton of fun! Why not!
How much did you end up paying for the car? Miles etc..?
Good questions, I should have mentioned that in the video. Car has 110,000km (60,000 miles). Seller was asking 10k and I managed to talk him down to 8k ($5,800 USD). Definitely not a pristine example but I wasn't looking for a perfect one. Thanks for watching
if that car ends up making over 350 you have to take out the brake caliper covers
@@n8rz smart, it's like putting a softer tuneup in it lol
do u plan on ripping out the interior? i may want to buy it 😭😭
The interior is almost done and that episode will be posted in just a few days!
A 3v rebuild? ..subscribed!
@@javS197 heck yeah thanks dude! Judging by your name I'm guessing you've got one too?
@LooseFab exactly right, an 06 GT. I have over 10k in parts sitting around for a restomod. I have toddlers, so it'll be an extremely slow build whenever I can get to it, haha
@@javS197 haha basically the same car then! What colour is yours? And what sort of parts have you got stockpiled?
@LooseFab it's dark blue. Someday I'll repaint it red though. Phase 1 is replacing/upgrading all parts involved with suspension, drivetrain, brakes, wheels, bracing, and underbelly repaint/refinish. All major parts are just waiting for me in boxes, I HOPE I can begin this summer. Needless to say, I'm crazy to even consider the amount of labor involved (I have past experience in such a project though).

@@angelgerman3296 best sounding motor!
I had the same drain on my 06 GT, radio kept trying to cycle disc tracks endlessly. Also just pulled the fuse 😂
@@sanderb2668 easiest fix ever lol! Sounds like exactly what mine was doing. Would yours also play AM radio at full blast every time you turned the key on? That got old fast!
I respect this decision! You made great points. It is wonderful to have a rare car, but it becomes much more difficult to want to drive it as parts become less available and more expensive. Good call on the Mustang. Wreck that thing, and roller is like $1500 to $2000.
You put it perfectly. The mustang will outperform this thing in nearly every category except maybe the cool factor. If I couldve parked this car and kept it as a showpiece, I absolutely would've. I just dont have the budget to do that! Thanks for watching dude.

@@santanaduran9702 🥳🥳🥳
I’m confused a little, why are you welding the diff on a live-axle lsd car? Well it be better drifting wise?
@@erron2504 exactly! Clutch packs in an LSD can wear out, and in drift they are unpredictable. If you slow down mid drift quite often they will unlock and behave like an open diff would. The right way would be to run a full spool in this car but I didn't want to have to mess with the gear backlash, so I just went the welding route. Good question and thanks for watching!
@@LooseFab thanks for the information man I appreciate it.
@@erron2504 no problem man!
I have a 08 Bullitt that I’m currently going through so seeing a cool project like this is inspiring.
@@naokithewicker3980 those are such great looking cars! What are your plans with it?
I love seeing 3v content. I have an 06 GT convertible. The guy I bought it from wanted to make it a drift car but ended up not doing it. I think the suspension on it came off of another 3v built for drifting but I’m not 100% sure
@@whuttontarnation2484 super cool! Always nice when you can get into a car that's already had some work done to it! Do you have any future plans for the car? Any idea what make the suspension is?
@@LooseFab I’m not sure the make of the suspension but I can try to take a look. All I know is it was on the brother of the PO’s car and then when that car got wrecked they swapped it. It handles pretty good too, or at least a lot better than my F150 😂. Right now the plan is to clean it up. Replace the back bumper, he passenger side mounts for it, maybe replace the front bumper, put some new tires (maybe wheels it just depends) on it. I’m getting married soon and am trying to have the car looking sharp for that. Beyond that I’d kind of like to put a cage in it for extra rollover protection and so I can do some events if I ever want to, some hot rod cams or something similar, and maybe a super charger of some type down the line. I’ve also found some shaker hoods for sale for it and I’d kinda like to get one if possible but I’m not sure it’s in the cards financially right now on top of the other stuff that the car needs
@@whuttontarnation2484 sounds like you have some great plans for the car! And congrats on getting hitched! I'd love to see some pics of the car when it's all done!
can’t wait for the next content on this build. also a set of hotrod cams will really wake it up especially in the higher rpm ranges
@@mutjny thanks dude! A set of cams is definitely on the list, even for just the noise! Hard to beat the sound of a cammed 3v. Anything else worth doing if Im tackling the cams?
Good Old V6 drift missile lmao they’re cheaper than most Japanese drift cars that’s for sure!!
Agreed! It might seem crazy but I honestly believe this could be this generation's s chassis.. Cheap, decent performance, slide well, rwd and manual.. Hard to beat!
That's not old. A 60's truck isnt old. A 40's truck, that's old.

these make what 265 wheel your not going to touch 350 wheel with out a cam long tubes and a tune u might break 320 with that that other shit that u have for it will do nothing to add power lmao
@@issei383 no I think it will probably make 1 million horsepower
Issei383 is right 😅. Won't see 350whp. But the chassis is pretty light for the physical size, under 3500 lbs. 320whp is doable and easy. It's when trying to reach the 400whp range that it falls flat. We have various builds on youtube explaining this and more. Don't be discouraged. We are talking about great power for a drift daily.
I'm glad someone else addressed it. While these cars make super fun power they however will never make anywhere near 350 with factory drive train and factory tune, I have one with full system exhaust from pypes with FPR Intake and howards rattler cams. I'd be lucky if I was making 315 lol great build however will be subbing to watch more bro 🫡

Hey thanks for watching. I had no idea the pin would turn into such a headache! The car is pretty low mileage so I didn't do the bearings/seals, do you think I still should've?
@LooseFab they are cheap enough and easy when you have the diff opened up anyways. But as long as there isn't any excessive play or leaking at the wheel end you should be ok.

I bought a 1980 Jeep Wagoneer 4x4 back in the early 00s for $100. It was easy to work on and more fuel efficient than the v4 I had been driving up to that point.
I love those wagoneers. You still driving it?
@LooseFab nah, it blew out the rear main seal out of the blue one summer day and I was too dumb to catch it before the engine seized... literally on the way to pick up a new seal and transmission. Tragic learning experience. Been looking for another one for decades now. I loved that vehicle.
Well at least you’re being honest. Hope it goes to a good home. 👍
Fuel mileage has dropped since diesel trucks have been burdened with emission controls. I find the big rear drum brakes are better than the disc brakes on the rear of new trucks
For the younger generations. Old vehicles with a carburetor. There are two jets. One for air. One for fuel. Turn them in for better fuel mileage. Turn them out for more power. Old engines. Never time the engine with a timing gun. Don't do it. Unless the engines are brand new. You have to do it by ear. Loosen the distributor. Start the engine. Turn the distributor left and right to where the engine almost dies. Find the middle point. Then. Turn it just around 1/8 of an inch to the left. Depending on how worn the parts are. It may vary. Just off center. Also. When doing. Plug the advance vacuum line on the distributor with a screw driver. Wear ear plugs. I lost half of my hearing doing it this way. You do it. You might find out why.
It sounds a bit like a BMW
Good guess but not quite!
