Hey Mitch. You definitely need to wear a respirator when cleaning a car that had or has mice in it. My brother is a paramedic and said it can be deadly for your lungs to breathe in the toxic air due to mice. Be careful and we love you. This detail was a blast to watch. Amazing before and afters 😍

Not only have I seen this car before but I used to own one. I had a 1987 XT Turbo in Red. The car was like a space ship on the inside. There were no dials at all, only buttons and switches. The height adjustment was a really cool feature. It would give you 4" in the front and 6" in the rear for clearance. The entire dash was all digital and the glow at night was impressive. It handled very well in the snow with the 4WD. I remember taking it when I went skiing. Never had an issue. Owned it for a couple of years until I bought a New 1989 Turbo Trans Am in Black. Now that was a car!

Loved that video! Weird and old barn finds are the best! Althought sometimes it can be a little frustrating as a car lover, seeing for example a NSX sitting outside for 10 years, no tarp or anything....its great to see them back in shape after!

From the comfort of my living room I found this very satisfying and admiring of your hard work. I sincerely hope they don't sell it as a parts vehicle, the old girl cleaned up so well it would a major shame not to give her a road life again.

This is honestly my favourite video you have ever done. Not just because of the work involved but because you took something someone else deemed worthless and gave it life again. Incredible job!

Such a worthy car for a full restoration. You just don’t see many of them out there anymore, and from what I’ve read about the XT, only 98,918 were ever produced in total for the worldwide market over its short, 6 year run - 1985 to 1991. It’d be a real shame not to have someone give that thing the love it deserves…

When you consider that this car is nearly 40 years old and has been abandoned for 20 of those, this is a remarkably well preserved. Great job getting this Scooby looking good again.

Amazing! I used to own one of these... electropneumatic suspension, and pushbutton 4x on the fly! The 'hill-holder' was a treat to have with a manual transmission, too. Nice work, this really takes me back. Good luck getting it stuck in a snowbank, one winter I hydroplaned in slush off the hwy in the Pine Pass. Went 15' down a bank, steered straight the whole way down, and when we towed it straight back out I was able to drive it into town. No problem. Second all-time favourite to my Datsun 260z.

Looks great! You EARNED EVERY PENNY! The facts/details you shared about the car along the way were great. I have a friend that works at a Subaru Dealership, has a couple WRX’s and shared this with him. A quick follow up as to what actually happened with the vehicle would be cool.

Amazing! What I find awesome is that whether you are doing a premium luxury brand or a barn find you give as much love and attention to every detail, no matter what. That's what makes you stand above all others.

You need to do these barn find details more often. They are my favorite. Making a car that's been sitting for years pretty again.

It's so satisfying to watch you start from scratch and detail a car until it looks practically new!!

Wow the transformation is unbelievable 🙌🏻

100% I want to see more like this. This was absolutely incredible! I loved seeing this being restored to some of its former glory after sitting for over a decade outside in the elements. This was one of my favorite videos you have done. If you are able to find more cars like this, please do! FANTASTIC!!

Mitch this was by far the BEST video!!! I LOVED it!!! I would love to see more like this! As someone who recently purchased a vintage, 1990 Buick Electra, Park Avenue, that I am currently restoring seeing more cars like that and your techniques to actually clean them using care not to damage any of the materials is very important to me! Naturally, I only use your products to clean my new Buick. I found it funny when you were vacuuming up the Pineneedles from around the trunk area. That’s the exact same thing I did just the other day to my Buick that I’m restoring!! 😂 great Job Mitch!!!!! Can’t wait to see more!!!! ❤❤❤

I really love watching videos like this ,i mean before and after the transformation ,i hope we could see an update what it looks like when its fix and your driving it outside 😊

Mitch, I cannot believe how beautiful this car turned out to be!! Wow, great job!

You sir have an amazing talent! I drove one of those cars in the early 90's. It wasn't a bad car to drive. The problem that I had with it was the fact that most people would stare at you while driving it. As a rare car collector, it is a car that I would most likely buy. The Subaru's of that time were very well known for rusting rather quickly. A lot of them didn't make it much past 10 years old due to rust and being very unsafe because of the rust. It's a cool car that I hope does get driven again.

Dead right on the rust. I think I would have thrown it on a lift first to see what I was up against. 20 years stuck in the open like that; probably going to be nasty surprises under there.

Great job Mitch! I think you should do more of these kinds of details. It's good fun and gets the car a new lease on life. I remember going to a Subaru dealer when it was first introduced in the states and seeing this on the showroom floor. The sales people were pretty proud of it and were showing me how strong the door was by opening it and sitting on top of the window ledge. Quite impressive.

Yeah, an update would be great. I'm assuming the mechanicals can be sorted pretty much, but the body looks like it has severe rust issues and finding replacement panels is going to be difficult, even finding a donor car isn't going to be easy.

You've had some really cool cars, trucks etc on this channel. This is the first one though I've actually nerded out on seeing it 🤣 Would love to see more classic /old cars like this on the channel!

I've always been interested in detailing cars knowing how disgusting some cars are it still interests me and this channel really pushes those interests more. I'd really love to start my own detailing/restoring business someday but im clueless when it comes to using the right tools/chemicals on the right conditions of the vehicle

I detailed our three cars this summer. I had bought the Detail Geek brushes that go in my drill to scrub the carpets, seats and cloth surfaces. The worst spot was my sister in laws car (1990 Miata one-owner) where she had spilled coffee into the carpet bunches of times through the years. I ended up pressure washing that area over and over and over until the water came out clear. The brushes did an amazing job just like you see in these videos. All cars interiors came out looking like new. Highly recommend those brushes!

Wow!! this is amazing cleaning the old car look like a new and total clean car it's beautiful and smart to clean from inside 😊💟

Awesome job!! So satisfying to watch.

Beautiful detail job. My husband owned a 1989 and a 1990 XT6 for a while. Those were fun to drive! The biggest problems with them as they aged were rust problems and snapping bolts on the one that we got that had lived in the northeastern U.S. before we got it and occasional oil leaks. If you work on one that has been in wintery climates, you really need a good helicoil and drill out set to deal with snapping bolts regularly. One of the biggest reasons that more of these don't survive though, is because they used a special fluid for the power steering system. Once Subaru stopped making them, the special fluid became as rare as hen's teeth after a while.

I honestly can’t wait to see how this turns out. Is the owner restoring this or something? I guess we’ll find out! So excited
