This looks like chrisfixes
It does a little, but I can assure you mine is worse.
Ha ha I know you can fix it though
Vlog Life he realy need chris fix
True
i was just about to say that. whats with youtubers buying the same car. its like they have the same network and they tell them what to buy lol. liking the convertible look though.
Dude! Nice!!!
Hoovies Garage I'm still jealous of your jeep cherokee
ayee found u here!
Hoovies Garage surprised you weren't the one buying it!
Hoovies Garage you guys are very similar but i prefer you hoover.
Cheapest in America? How Hoovie's Garage of you.
It's a gift that not many possess. He is one of us.
Tavarish XD bro I got you beat I got a 1997 gt 4.6 with 114 thousand miles hard top green paint 1 owner for 400$, and the best part is that a kid didn't own it, I win
hayden hale what's wrong with it?
Jacob Justus it wasn't running for 3 yeas because the old man died, I just sprayed either in the intake and it fired up, so nothing's wrong with it
@Kedreto pretty sure he was just joking
Pretty cool challenge. As far as aesthetics you HAVE to get a cobra style roll bar so it looks better with the top down
He was so close to fixing the cluster! Just had to take the face off...
Tavarish drinking game: every time he says egregious take a shot!
If you take a drink every time I say "Alright, so," you'll be hospitalized within the hour.
hahahahaha
Avery D if you add in "I'm very excited", alcohol poisoning will occur pretty quickly..
"car" is a better word to drunk on. Don't worry if it's a truck or jeep video, he will stay say car.
i've never read that word before but i knew exactly how to pronounce it
It's the small plastic gears in the odometer that break over time inside the cluster.
Correct, that was my first thought when I saw that the trip-meter was at 0000. Same thing happens on older Volvo 850's =)
Wow someone who likes 850s! I have a 850 and 850R both which needed new odometer gears. Gotta love old Volvos. I also have a 2001 Mustang Gt which is my current project.
Hehe well I'm from Gothenburg, Sweden so I kinda have to like them =P I have a '97 140hp wagon, 99% rust free, 3rd owner, insane amounts of documents and paperwork on the car. And it has the wood steeringwheel =)
I definitely do!
that chrisfix mustang odo repair reference lol
Remove all the body panels to make it faster/quicker for free!
Bought my 1998 mustang got for $1800 with only 97k on her. 40 thousand miles later still going strong!!
GT or v6?
"not gonna be an apocalypse theme"
I dont think B is For Build got the memo
LOL 200k SN95 GT, performance machine!? I love it. Can't wait for more.
Bout time! Been following Chris's build and wondering where yours was!
he doesn't buy his team to do his project for him, While trying to act like he know it all on camera, When half of the stuff he is clueless about when explaining things.
“Never gonna die”
Me with my NA 2000 Mustang GT with stock heads and cams that has 3 holes in the block: “(X) Doubt”
Sounds like a Monday car to me.
Cool project, Tavarish! I totally agree with you that these are fairly easy cars to wrench on. It's a shame you only have a few days to work on it. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
New coolant cap, lol, Bill at Power Stroke Help would be very proud of you :D
"I need this thing to be hoonable"
Immediately goes and fixes A/C
If you were in Arizona you'd understand the urgency, haha
I don't blame him lol i would too
In Arizona its absolutely brutal w/o ac. My 97 GT doesn't have ac so i just bought a 1999 Taurus just to have ac again.
I understand it's hot and I don't blame him at all😂 I just thought it was funny the order he did it in
Who els is watching this in 2020
2021*
2023*
2030*
That's pretty cool to see! I got my 1996 mustang GT (non convertible) for 1,000 like 2 weeks ago! In arizona too, not bad.
Surprise your channel hasn't exploded, you make such good content!
I like rolling up the Wool-o and getting all schmoked up while watching these videos.
Got my 2004 running and driving in relatively decent shape for absolutely free. But it’s only the 3.8 V6 with an autoturd in her. Not fast but definitely not slow for an old V6 and a good daily driver. Easily smokes the tires all the way through 1st gear when you push the gas peddle through the floor so that’s always fun.
not a bad car for the cash! excited to see the rest
I love this because it’s so real. I hate when they find the problem and the first answer works. It doesn’t happen like that in real life.
Hey guys! Chrisfix here!, oh wait wrong video
This was great to watch 👍
Not sure if you know this or not but you can use a test light or multimeter to check fuses rapidly without removing and inspecting them one at a time. Most fuses have two metal contacts on the top you can use to check for 12V. If one side has 12V or lights up the test light and the other does not, your fuse is blown.
A B nu iklp
kp
this is great your doing a mustang. me and my son a building an 93 coupe 5L its his first car very existing times =)
That mustang looks great!!
you can release fuel pressure by turning off the car and pressing in the center of the Schrader valve on the fuel rail.
pretty cool you can fill the coolant yourself. Here in Finland (prolly some eu ruling tho) you need to be certified to work with any AC systems. So simple fill of coolant could be 100 usd. Also if they see the car leaking coolant, you'll have to get it fixed in order them to fill it.
I just bought my 94 with a clean title. more power 5.0 engine. long tubes x pipe magna flow exhaust. cobra rims new nitro 555rs. eibach adjustable coilovers. slotted disc. cobra master and slaves. 5speed. under drive pulleys. new radiator. new compressor, condenser lines. 10 Rockford subs and amp. hids. 1000$. I did check Craigslist every hour for 3 months though 😂
Bro the problem with the speedo is the plastic gear in the actual cluster housing. Being plastic the tend to strip out very easily especially on one that old with that many miles. You can get the replacement kits for cheap. You were almost there when you took the cluster out. GOODLUCK!!!!
Thank you for something new.
those wires on the left of the dash, in the vent, is for a satellite radio setup.
I got a 1995 Mustang Gt Automatic, clean title for 180 bucks|! It just needed a fuel pump. I love the value and it's just a cool car. Good .BUY|!
that excess wiring in the cluster was for a SiriusXM aftermarket radio. power, aux in, and antenna connectors.
Tavarish you need to watch ChrisFix he has also mustang and videos how to fix cluster on mustang same problem that you have
Tavarish! Why do you keep doing this to yourself? ;)
No schrader valve on the fuel rails? Most 4.6 had them
try to check chris fix videos he have a mustang like yours and he tearning it to drift project
This was a long time ago but I have an Arizona 64 El-Camino, when we got it there was absolutely no rust on it, it was sitting for over 15 years. I think there was a tad bit of surface rust.
My lancer had the same ac problem clicked on and off and reved it up super high I filled it up to manufactures recommendation and iw worked fine
Try plugging in scan tool that feeds live data and see whether or not the computer is receiving a signal for the vehicle speed sensor. That will tell you whether or not there's just a break between the VSS and the speedometer
I bought a 1997 4.6 liter mustang GT for 1200 I was able to drive it all the way home. I turboed mine and sold it for 2g's just before the transmission went out. I was pushing out just over 450 to the wheel.
You can remove the fuel pump fuse, as you did and go through all that other stuff. Or you can just go to the schrader valve under the hood. It will be somewhere on the fuel line. And just bleed off the fuel pressure! I've never worked on one of those Mustangs. But I'll bet it's there, they are on every other Ford I've seen.
Good score. Been trying to find something similar here in southern CA... people overvalue their vehicles here like crazy. They're nuts. That car would likely be around $3500 here.
Wow really? I'm surprised there's such a markup. That's crazy lol
It wasn't like this a few years ago.. just moved back down and have been surprised at the prices people are asking for cars now. Beaters are $2000-2500 on average, when they're worth $1k tops.
There's a black '97 here in Sweden that is low milage (70000km) and asking price is 120 000SEK (about 11 000$). Black, leather, 5spd. There's only really really nice ones here, or complete garbage v6's x)
3800 for a 97 convertible with 160000km in canada
You should have way more subscribers, like your vids
This wont beat the VR4 you sold me. Btw wheres my shoutout
Jursaw soon!
Freddy.......you have come SO far.
Good buy Clean Car Great Price..🖒🖒
hey by the way, the cluster on the back has worm gears that deteriorate. replace the gears on the back your odometer, trip and speedo work
Still have yet to watch the whole video, but get subframe connectors. The coupes flex like a wet noodle, the vert is worse. SFCs help significantly.
Cool story bro.
Paid 650 for my gt running and driving Perfect with mods. Although 1050 is a great price especially considering most mustang enthusiasts believed their car made of gold, still farrrr from the “Cheapest mustang gt convertible in America” as the title suggests. Lol It got me watching it though so good job. I ain’t even mad. Found your videos this morning and have been binge watching. Great vids, Keep um coming.
To get good gains in HP, you should PI swap the heads, or better yet, get trick flow heads
For some reason I really want that generation mustang right now x)
Nick Hammer yeah I think they look the best
I have 95 5.0 from Satan haha I got in accident and totalled my 2012 Chrysler 200 smh I love that car and I wanted a camaro but there wasn't one available at the time so I gotta mustang smh lesson learned
2017 business from Satan huh?
Hey man, I don't know if someone has commented on this already or if it even matters at this point, but I'm pretty sure the zip tied black wires you are talking about at 11:05 (power, aux port, etc.) is for a XM satellite radio receiver.
Nice, I had a 96 GT coupe, same color but with black interior, it wasn't the fastest but it was fun to drive, too bad some asshats stole my radio and busted my door locks out messing up my door.
The Brown leather hurts seems like it doesn't go at all with car
Brown leather probably looked great when the paint was new
@@anthonywhitlock9168 yeah and also the inteior probably looked better also back in the day
So If the car has been in Arizona for all them years that Arizona sun could have bleached the interior some over time if the roof was down a lot outside.
So I can't get to upset I have to remember it's a 10+ year old car that it wont look like a car that's new or like new
Not to nitpick but, you did install the fuel filter backwards.... You dont have to remove that clamp that holds the filter in, You just slide it out away from that retaining tab.
I have a 96 mustang gt and i can chime in on easy ways to make these cars fast!
The first two mods which can be done for really cheap if you look around, is swapping the intake manifold and cams for the 99-04 PI (performance improved) parts. The stock ones on the non-pi mustangs (96-98) are the bottleneck of the engine and can't flow past 4k rpms. Anything else you put on the car won't do anything significant unless you change them. swapping them can add 30 hp easily and you don't need a tune.
MGRaiden64 there's no hope in the 96 non pi engine unless you supercharged them and your stuck under 500 hp cause you will blow it. Even the pi version will get you extra ponies but not enough for a g unless you go full bolt ons and your going to spend a pretty penny
yeah and every engine in any car those years of the same way. 200 hp was good in the 90's and 300 was a lot. its dumb to compare 20 year old engines to modern engines.
also, hp isn't everything. 12 second non-pi Mustangs exist
One time i noticed the harmonic dampener/Ballancer was separating so told her needed a new one so when I ordered a Ballancer from Jegs I added a shorter shifter arm an threw it in without saying anything, that is a great cheap upgrade it is shorter and quicker because it didn't utilize the o.e. rubber bushings and those make it very sloppy feeling. That was gone it was very sharper feeling. She never even noticed...lol
I got a running 88 foxbody gt no accident history, no rust whatsoever and was completely mechanically sound for 500$
It's most likely the gear in the cluster!
I got the same car they are alot of fun
Chris Fix Super Clean It
you got a good deal on that car man congrats
got this car, a 97 the speedo is a worm gear inside. they all go at around 100,000 miles
I believe I got the cheapest 1999 mustang V6 I bought mine for $140 everything works with no problems the only issue was the registration was back taxed and I updated but other than that it drives
Budget build challenge! BBC!
You don't have to worry about the plugs breaking in the heads on 2v or 4v mod motors. That's a 3v problem. Now blowing plugs out? Yeah that happens on these unfortunately.
popularity of the sn95s goes up soon after chrisfix gets one? what a coincidence
hey man. alot of times the gears in the instrument cluster wear out. also check the odometer to see if that's working. on my 1994 the odometer gear wore out and stopped working. I would probably just get another instrument cluster from a junk yard
It's a cream dream, muppet! Do a booster, like an electric turbo. Cleetus reviewed a great one.
Chris 100% already won, the worst mustang ever made isn't competing with a g35
Do an old ipad mini in dash! Using a soundman kit, then you'll have lots of music, gps speedo and navigation. That'll make that car feel up to date.
Croo ookie probably costs more than the car itself
Croo ookie Id use a kindle fire, the $50 one
I don't think a kindle fire uses a sim card so you won't get a gps speedo
Have you never heard of a test light to check fuses? 10000x easier...
The plastic gears in the Odometer are known to break....
I have an SN95 (95 GT) with 78K Original Miles and am now reluctant to let it go....
Big change in videos you see today . Think you're work place now is just a tad bit bigger 🤣
Great video quality, is this a new camera? Curious what camera you're using
you should have held out for a pushrod 5.0 era car. Those 4.6L don't make a lot of HP and don't respond to cheap free mods like the old 5.0's do/did.
speedo and odo work off plastic gears, they're probably broke or ground down. so it's probably got over 200,000 miles vs what it says. Those plastic gears are also a reason why most windows from the 90s don't work.
It's a plastic gear in the speedometer that you have to replace.
My mom that passed away in 2014 owned a 95 that was almost identical, same color different wheels and had charcoal cloth interior. It also was the last year of the 5.0. I thought I would get it but her husband felt he should get it, I was unimpressed but wasn't going to argue with her on her death bed that guy can keep it whatever sucks tho I helped her get it so was some sentimental reasons I wanted it. It also has less than 100k never seen a winter...
So you have like 76 cars now?
I paid $475 for mine and it drove and didn’t overheat plus trans good, put $800 into it and sold for $3000
Check the obd 2 port
I wish cars were this cheap in the rest of the world!
I love your image... what type of camera do you use???
I would have replaced that gas cap because you don't want it gassing off and creating an explosion risk.
"Modular from a Crown Vic, so very reliable and never going to die"
A non-PI 2V will crack its intake, spew coolant, and possibly overheat...and then shoot out a couple spark plugs from the heads, as soon as you try to have fun with it.
Seriously though, make sure those plugs are torqued to spec!
btw, the speedometer fix is some plastic gears in the cluster. theyre stupid cheap, might wanna look into that if you still have it
Samuel Paniagua or on the transmission.
i thought he said he replaced the speedo sensor already
Is it true that mustangs require a lot of maintenance?Im interested in the sn-95 mustang.
"but its a dry heat dont worry" i moved out there from TN and those words used to make me sweat twice as much like.....
Lol I just bought same car a couple days ago. Drove it home. In Canada worth about 5k.
I sold my 96 GT Coupe 5 speed for something fast and I really regret it. Something about that car. Lucky for me there is a lot of them out there, but I’ll never have mine back
*Buys any car in America 'This is the cheapest car in America!'
Will you ever finish a project !!
how do you find the producers of OEM parts?
PI head upgrade!
I’m looking at a 1996 convertible mustange today, it has 76000 miles on it and it’s for 1500
