Hopefully we can get an update on this car once they finish the work on it. Would be nice to see Mitch clean it up when it's restored.
Yes we definitely need to see the carry on story with this incredible Scooby.
I would love to see a part 2 where they let you know if they fix the car or not and how it runs! And if they fixed it, maybe let you take it for a drive?😊
Well, I think its A No Brainier "We All Want to see za part DreaU2X on this Liltle Gem * Keep in contact with the Dudes that bought her! Fun Video 😮 Car needed your majik! ",Isn't that Satisfying," I just love the DeSmegging part!" Best Regaurds from us in Big D Texas, Mr B~ "Isn't that satisfying," I Love The Dr Smdgging
Gods yes
Got any tips on how to get acrylic paint out of faux leather seats? I’ve tired a ton of remedies
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 😍
There is a dust that is created from their feces. I knew a fella who camped in a wooden half-shelter over a weekend, and died many months later from inhaling the toxic dust. From what I was told, it was a horrible way to go.
Not sure I could make an educated guess as I drive a 2007 Mazda CX7 with just over 50k miles, in fact I drive it so little that the warranty on the tires expired with under 10k miles, but they are cracking up from the sun. But what the hay I’ll guess 67k. 😊
Hanta virus from mice. It can kill you. Almost killed me.
Mask spotted @23:14
Hanta virus killed a friend of ours, not even 40 years old. Glad you made it. ^^^
My brother had one in the 80s, it was way ahead of anything on the road. Smooth, quite quick and a head turner too. I really liked going for drives with my brother, not to mention he was an ace driver and learned alot from him being in the car with him. This video brings back magical memories.❤
FOND SUBARU VERY K FU MEMORIES !
Oh wow! You have breathed some life back into the car. Please update us on what the owners did to restore it further. You definitely gave them a clean pallet to work from. Beautiful job Mitch!!!
You are honestly a miracle worker. It doesn’t matter what vehicle it is, the care and pride you have as a detailer really shows!
ELBOW GREASE BUSTERS !
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!
A friend had one in Australia. No way was it faster than a WRX though!
A guy at our church in ND had a red one as well!!
I had a friend growing up and his father bought one of these. I remember when these came out. It seemed like a way for Subaru to stand out in the crowd and bring attention to the brand. It was a crazy future like car for its time.
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.
Wow! You’re a gem, so patient and thorough! Love 💕 what you do! Keep it up!
This is one special detail, I have never seen something like this on the channel ever before! Absolutely stellar! Have a great weekend everyone! 😊
Thanks, you too!
Hey Botdog, always good to see you. Hope you have a great weekend my buddy.
Botdog, Have a wonderful weekend!
Ayyyyee botdog! Have a great weekend!
Thank you friend, you too
I'd love to see more of these "barn finds!" Even if the car is not perfect, it's awesome to see how much difference a thorough detail makes. Turn those Hoopties into gold! A follow up video would be cool if the customer does decide to restore the car.
The problem now is we’re running out of barns! Maybe a container or storage unit might have something w/o pine needles!
Flashback! I owned an xt6 manual in black. That was the most fun winter and snow car I've driven. Had totally forgotten about the cockpit feeling interior. Thanks for this
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!
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…
"only"
@@halophobic9550 … Over 6 years, less than 40,000 for the U.S. in the entire run. The remaining 58k were distributed in Australia, New Zealand, European countries France and GB and Japan.
This car 🚗 is worth it to restore.
I had a friend who had one of these back in the 90's and it lifted up and down. It was fun. Pretty cool-looking car! I think it's worth a restore too.
@@jujujustmeindeed
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!
I love you ❤️
I love taking old things( whatever they are) and restoring them back to close to original. A lot of people don’t know what they have or are just not able to restore things . 😊
loving your new approach of videos, more interesting to see where the cars come from. keep it up!! love your channel. and yes all tips to help me clean my cars too. thank you .
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.
You had a Datto 260z aswell! 😍 great car!
Yep... but currently working on a 52 Fargo❤
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.
Well, it’s the right time of year for you to pull off something as supernatural as this detail! What an incredible mess but what a transformation, now I KNOW you can clean anything. It’s going to be hard to top this one. Congratulations on a magical detail!👻
Thank you!
I don’t normally watch a whole video, just skip, but this was definitely worth the watch!! Love your content man, always love looking forward to Fridays
Mitch, God gave you a golden heart and that is priceless! Blessings! Cool episode! 💪🏻💣💖💖💖
Great job! Hope they get it running. What a unique find. Very satisfying indeed!
I absolutely LOVE vehicle restorations!! I’m super excited to see it if and when they get her done!! You truly do a labor of love the way you detail vehicles!! THANK YOU!!! 🥰❤️
If the owner of this rare gem decides to sell this car as a parts car, I will be upset. This car is in a surprisingly great shape than I expected after seeing it in the side yard for many years. This car can be restored if done right. A great job cleaning it up!
It would be a real shame if they decide to part it out Very little serious rust that I can see Around the wheels is the only place I’ve seen And that’s not that bad
This car needs to be restored, it is so rare and an important little offshoot in car history.
It’s not yours so the fact your upset for something that hasn’t even happened yet tells me you have your priorities messed up
@@jlooks95 The fact that you think people cannot have an opinion on something they are passionate about despite them not owning the thing they have an opinion about, means you lack even the most basic social concepts. I wouldn’t worry about them, worry about yourself.
@@jlooks95why do u feel the need to antagonize someone for no reason. That says a lot about yourself to be fair
I watched this video from start to finish and for reasons I don't know why it was very relaxing to just sit and watch and very satisfying at the end.
Absolutely love this...the passion is there...great work. Subscribed.
I really hope someone is able to put the time and money into restoring this car, it would be a beast to drive, although I’d only drive it in summer lol. Great work Mitch❤
GREAT SCOTT!! The only thing that would have made this car cooler is if it was a DeLorean and Doc Brown was there for the reaction 🤣 Truly an unforgettable detail and I really hope the guys are able to get the car fixed up and running! I’d love to get it stuck in a snowbank somewhere 🤣 NEW Yard Geek video coming next Saturday!!
been a long time viewer since 2019 watched almost all ur vids this will probably be the best one yet keep doing what ur doing man!
They came back to the future a 3rd time?!! 🤣🤣
That’s what i thought it was going to be based off the title 😂
The thing with DeLoreans is everyone and their brother is restoring one or digging one from a barn. THIS Subaru I think is cooler and neat to see compared to Cocaine John’s absurdity he created
They should really do a video on fixing the car! In any case you upped the value of this car by about a thousand bucks mate!
Wow the transformation is unbelievable 🙌🏻
Hope to see the update. Awesome job as always.
LOVED my XT's!!! Had an 86 4cyl 5-speed, and an 88 XT6. Both were an blast to drive. Was lucky enough to have also owned an SVX. Suby had some very futuristic (and amazingly ahead of their time) cars in the mid 80's to early 90's!
I also had an XT6. I loved that thing. It would hug a curve like it was on rails!!
Loved my SVX as well except for the really weak AT that is why I sold it went thru 2 AT
@@jimh9332 Same. Mine had both of the SVX flaws... transmission and power steering failures.
@@cajunrcfamily6188 Oh yeah! And the electronic pneumatic suspension was miles ahead of its time.
This was by far amazing to watch on KZhead on a Thursday afternoon and thanksgiving at that. I learned a lot especially me who is a self taught detailer amongst other things. Subscribed to watch your channel ❤ 🙏
Nice work,I learned a few things Thanks 4 sharing
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.
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.
This was truly satisfying to watch please do more like this😄
Mitch, I cannot believe how beautiful this car turned out to be!! Wow, great job!
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 loved every single minute of this. At the beginning I honestly thought you'd just give it a cat's lick since it's such a shed. But I am absolutely blown away with the level of effort you went to for these two customers who *admittedly* wouldn't be sad about parting it out! I'm off to binge some more of your videos as inspiration to clean my show car, which has been in the garage since the start of Covid19...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Geek, I'm only into this vid for 5.5" . . I like your narration, and the way you cover all the bases. I used to do detailing among other tasks for a major Chevy dealership, and I was taught how to do this; I kind of miss this work.
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.
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!!
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 😊
Definitely keep making these vids of abandoned vehicles brought back to life❤❤ also consider doing follow up videos with the people restoring them especially this kne and the cherry red mustang.❤
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.
That was such a unique barn find and then to detail it and get it looking prestine again is incredible plus a customer reaction this video had it all as always keep up all the hard work your doing
It's so satisfying to watch you start from scratch and detail a car until it looks practically new!!
You rock Mitch outstanding Job
You aren’t “just” a detailer…you do restoration. Many people are beginning to see there is a difference because of what they see you do. Your work is impeccable.
I love how you put so much care into this car even though it was going to be striped of it’s parts anyway, amazing job I love your videos!
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!
Thank you for getting to the point and telling us what it was, that way we could enjoy the rest of the video. Much love, MUCH respect for that. Thumbs up!
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
Okay Ashley 🙄
@@YourMomXD1337 - You know you didn’t have to write that comment right? Didn’t your mother ever teach you if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all?
Looks so cool eh, I love the 80's styling. At the beginning they said someone has bought the car with the hope of restoring it, however they will sell and make a quick buck if anyone wants it as a parts car.
@@laurac86 okay Laura 🙄
@@YourMomXD1337ok “your mom”🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Omg, I had a '91 XT-6 turbo in mica white. I loved that car! This brings back great memories! Job done well, would love to see it totally restored!🤩
Awesome job!! So satisfying to watch.
It really is a pleasure to watch you restoring these vehicles. SO satisfying!!!
This really is an incredible transformation. I have a lot of faith in Mitch’s abilities but that came out better than I could have thought, most impressive video yet!
As you cleaned the car, I was also cleaning, scrubbing with everything. Got so tired..But. I'm cleaning My toyota Yaris 2009...just like you did. Love it. Thanks...
My nephew, who is a Subaru mechanic, has a 87 XT. He also has a 80 BRAT. And a couple other Subarus. All are in excellent shape. Nice cars.
The finished results are stunning, I would not change a thing, well done and congratulations on a wonderful sculpture. 👌👌👌
I had such a stressful day today but i must say watching this video and not having to do this detailing myself is So satisfying…Thank you guys u really saved the day
I remember these! Haven't seen one for some years but they were around in the 80s and 90s. Pretty cool!
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. Your work at getting it looking as good as it does is amazing as always.
What's a donor car
@@akshaychari1703 It's another car, same make and model that you can take parts from (therefore "donate") to repair the car you want to fix.
Nice, the vlog entry and the car itself made this video special. I watch your videos for relaxing and tips for cleaning my own car, but this was more than that. Keep up the good work!
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!
My uncle had one brand new one that time 😃, that beautiful (Helicopter) gear stick was awesome!!
Very good job so far you are doing a good job keep it up i am looking forward to watching your videos
Is it possible to do more restoration projects like this? Really cool to see first impression vs final product!
YES!!! more like this car. Please and thank you? I also really like watching you use that clay. Never knew stuff could be embedded in the paint until I saw you use thatl totally awesome 😊
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 used to have a burgundy Suburu XT, way back when I was a teenager. That brings back good memories. Thanks
Oh man a premiere with this one. That means it will be wild and fun to watch. I am excited to see this baby get pulled out of the woods and looking shiny and clean by the time it's done. Go Mitch!!💜
It's a lot of work but I'm sure once it's done it Will Make it w ok right
Thought you should know that this vid is quickly spreading through the XT/XT6 community. Great job on the detail! It’s in better shape that a lot of them we come across. It’s a bit of work to get them running and driving properly. They are weirdly engineered and VERY complicated, but seriously fun to drive! And restoring it will be an even bigger undertaking. Like most XTs they’ll either get it running and enjoy it as is, or part it out. Cool find, awesome cleaning job!
It's probably because of the 100% joggers pants acceptance rate.
My grandpa bought one brand new and it’s been sitting in his barn not running for about 20 years, I think getting good parts is extremely hard.
@@Jordan__SloanFor the engine/drivetrain, not too difficult. the EA engine was widely used and new-old-stock parts are still available in many cases. A lot of these also get swapped with the more modern (but still discontinued as of 2022) EJ series engines.
What a beautiful reaction from your dad. He is a fantastic photographer. The photos are gorgeous. You need to get him some camera bags for Christmas. I loved the owl pictures.
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 ride! Nice work
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
Amazing video Mitch! I hope that unique videos like this come more, It was truly awesome to see old car videos like these!
Parting that out would be criminal - they were super-rare even when they were new so it deserves to live to see another day. Great detail on a fascinating car.
Wowww amazing job! ❤
Yes M, it's a nice idea to work on those yard/barn finds some are real gems.👍
This is going to look mint.... My dad owned this same car back in the 80's. Had so much fun in it as a kid ❤
This car brought back some memories from when i was a kid. I remember when a neighbor bought one of these brand new out the showroom floor in white. Every day I couldn’t wait to get out of school just to come home to see it. Used to sit right by the window to look at it for long periods of time. Great video! Thanks man. 😊
I remember this car - my brother's friend had one. Cool! Great job!!!
First I watch a video of Doug Demuro reviewing a XT…and now this! Very cool that this car is getting some love
To quote you Mitch - “Insanely satisfying!” Amazing job, loved watching every minute.
Great video! Would love to see others like this.
You do amazing work!
I loooove videos like this. I'm big on seeing old forgotten cars get some love again.
That was pure magic it’s unbelievable to think that you pulled off such a great detail loved it ❤
It reminds me of a Triumph TR 7 ..... production mid 80s. Very impressed with the engine result !
because of the low air drag, this might be a perfect car to do an EV conversion with a motor that would be way more powerful than the original. Get this thing going 0-60 in like 3 seconds... Excellent video, enjoyed every bit of it.
I love weird '80s cars... always amazes me how a car gets abandoned or just left. A 200,000 mile junker I can imagine, but this would have been a looker back in the day! We had the Subaru in the States with the windows that only rolled down halfway, weird car but it's a collector's item now just like I'm sure this one is!
That’s in kilometers, that converts to 136k miles
It probably stopped running
That'll be the Subaru SVX - the successor to the XT
😂
I really love the diversity & variety of different styles and types of vehicles u work on Mitch. Change is good, it breaks the routine & surprises us. All the love from KSA 🇸🇦
Lot of work..great job dude.!👍
I used to drive one of these back in the 90’s! This brought back so many memories!
I appreciate you and your camera angles! You’re doing gods work cleaning the nastier vehicles for our viewing!!! Much love brother!
Keep it up Mitch! 1986 Subaru XT Turbo is a hidden gem. Amazing to see how it was rescued from under those spruce trees and brought back to life
No idea why I landed on this channel, but I loved watching you detail this car! It's obvious you have a passion for this kind of work, and you sure didn't miss a beat with everything that needed to be cleaned and polished! Good for you having your own business as well! All the best to you!
one of the most satisfying videos on the channel❤❤ btw those rims are from a Peugeot 505 GTI . also very rare in Europe an north America
I worked on Subarus for several years and was just amazed at how well they worked in snow and mud.
