Ep 16. Forgotten Mustang

In All Girls Garage season 6 episode 16, titled "Forgotten Mustang," the team of talented female mechanics work on restoring a classic 1965 Ford Mustang. The car comes to them in a neglected and rusty state, but the girls are up for the challenge of bringing it back to its former glory.

The episode begins with the team inspecting the car and identifying the areas that need the most work. They quickly determine that the Mustang's body is in bad shape, with significant damage to the metal and rust penetrating nearly every surface.

To start the restoration process, the girls strip the car down to its bare bones. They remove the engine, transmission, and all the interior components, leaving only the bare metal framework. With the car stripped and ready for work, the team begins the long process of restoring the Mustang's bodywork.

The first step in the bodywork restoration is removing the rust. The team uses various tools and techniques to remove rust from every crevice and corner of the car. They then weld in new metal to replace any areas that are beyond repair due to corrosion.

Once the rust is removed, the girls move on to repairing dents and other damage to the bodywork. They use everything from hammers and dollies to advanced bodywork tools to restore the car's smooth lines and curves.

With the bodywork completed, the team turns their attention to the engine. The Mustang's original engine is a 289 V8, and while it's in decent shape, the girls want to give it a little more power. They decide to boost the engine's horsepower with a few carefully selected performance upgrades, including new headers, a high-flow air intake, and a performance camshaft.

The girls also upgrade the car's suspension, installing new shocks, struts, springs, and sway bars. This not only improves the car's handling, but also gives it a more aggressive stance.

When it comes to the interior, the girls decide to keep the car's original look and feel. They clean and restore the stock seats, dashboard, and gauges, while installing a new sound system for some modern convenience.

Throughout the episode, the girls encounter a few unexpected challenges, including a few hard-to-reach rust spots and a pesky oil leak. But they persevere, using their skills and ingenuity to overcome every obstacle.

In the end, the team completes the restoration on the 1965 Ford Mustang, transforming it from a neglected heap of metal into a beautiful and powerful classic car. The girls take the car out for a test drive, marveling at how smooth and responsive it is.

All Girls Garage season 6 episode 16 is an inspiring and exciting look at the process of restoring a classic car. With their expertise, dedication, and passion for cars, the women of the show prove that gender doesn't matter when it comes to working on cars.
