Barn finds are awesome, but sometimes they are so horrible looking that you wonder if they can ever look good again without a complete restoration. I’m a big fan of patina, but sometimes a car just looks crappy instead of looking cool. Sometimes there is a point at which the car doesn’t look “bad enough” to have a good patina, but doesn’t look good enough to just feel worn.
In this video, a barn find 1969 Mustang that has been sitting in a barn with lots of mice and birds for the past 20 years, is getting its first bath in at leas that long. And boy does it need it! There is A LOT of evidence of mice on the insides of the car and birds on the outside as they have crapped all over the hood. Some paint is missing, there are some rust spots, and this car is in fact going to get a full restoration, but getting it as clean as is reasonable will not only make the start of the restoration easier, but will also give a better idea of how much is needed to make this car cool again.
Watch the video and let us know what you think about how it turned out.
