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.

So this girl came in to trade her Mustang in for a Jeep. The car was a disaster. Rough exterior, terrible interior, but we traded it in, with every intention of buying it as a project car for myself. Based on the condition it was in and the thousands of dollars in work it needed, I was able to purchase it for $1,300.


I was asked to put an update of costs on the front page, so as I update this form, this will automatically update

Austin's Cost Sheet


It's Satin Silver exactly like my wife's, 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.



The disgusting trunk








And yes if you're wondering, those are thank god unused tampons laying in the back.


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


Yes that is her nasty *** old underwear and bra in the trunk



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.




Day 2
Moved to the inside. Let us look at how disgusting this bitch was.
The film of dirt on every inch of everything


That's not discoloration, it's a film of dirty nasty **** over it.


Yep, that black **** is mold on the leather


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


I don't even know how the **** she got stuff down into the shifter.


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!




Not perfect, but much better.


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.

Moving on to the dash...
So much groce



Film on everything



But after many much scrubbing and a lot of all purpose


^Not to bad!

I have no clue what this is or how to get it off. Any suggestions?


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


Gonna get the tire repaired on Friday


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.


So I got some pliers and went to work pulling the trash out.



Got to cleaning out the stickiness inside with a toothbrush and some all purpose.


And sprayed some WD-40 in there.


And in the end...

And that's it for now.

Holy MFer! That is disgusting! You couldn't have paid me to take it. That car will never be clean! I would've torn apart the entire interior and just bought new panels... Good luck though!

There goes my appetite. Looks like she was living in her car.

Wow what a mess!

First, what a disgusting pig. I don't understand how people can live like that. I had a client who treated his car, and house, that way. Why take out the trash, there is a perfectly good place to toss it, right? I'm sure that car reeked with all the old food containers, and mold breeding stuff there.

My guess - with the empty yogurt containers - she probably spilled yogurt on that spot, and being the clean person that she obviously is, just left it there.

Disgusting. Disappointing. Sad.

I did enjoy looking at this thread nonetheless. Glad to see u fixing it back up a bit.

If she treated the car like that on the inside you can assume she treated the maintenance of the engine about the same. You'll probably be doing the cars first oil change!

At first I was thinking what a dirtbag cheating some poor girl out of $4000 and bragging about it, but then I see the pics. That is real bad and really worth only around what was paid or less in that condition. Sorry for the initial impression as it turns out it's totally unfounded!

Get a hazmat suit, pull out the seats and deep shampoo the carpets, set off a bug bomb, run it though a auto car wash with windows down, etc etc etc etc.

Glad you have a strong stomach. Good luck.
