We are all aware that people often tend to make fun of Mustang owners due to an increasing number of videos depicting such owners attempting to leave car meets in an unorthodox manner, and crashing as a result. Sure, bad drivers can be found everywhere, so it doesn't really make sense to include all Mustang owners in the same group.
By the looks of it, the 2017 Mustang GT showcased in this video might have been the result of an aforementioned situation, as its right side is quite damaged. That might be due to the previous owner losing control of the car and hitting and a pole or something; but then again, we might be wrong.
The important thing is that someone actually stepped up and decided to fix the car, restore its original aura, and even go further than that and actually turn it into a large project. The 5.0-liter V8 does seem to have a bit of a rough time during its first startup after being taken down the trailer, but then the new owner celebrates it coming back to life with a burn-out.
What follows next is a 10 minute time-lapse of the car being stripped down, taken to the body shop for a quick fix and a respray after that, and then (drum roll) the most interesting part. After the interior is back in the car, the new owner installs an air suspension system, which kind of gives us an idea of what comes up next.
Test fitting for a Clinched wide body kit, that's what follows, and those of you who are more sensible when it comes to chopping up an almost brand new vehicle might want to look away. The Clinched body kit retails for $5,990, and it makes the car 3.6 inches (9 cm) wider up front, and 4.7 inches (12 cm) wider in the back. Those measurements are for each side of the car, so you'll have to double that to get the full picture.
After installing the body kit and adding a new set of wheels, the owner then goes for a full vehicle wrap, using mostly purple and yellow, with a touch of white. The final result looks almost like a real life HotWheels vehicle, and it's definitely bound to be one of the widest Mustangs you'll see driving down the streets anytime soon.
The things Dragos enjoys the most in life are, in no particular order: cars, motorcycles, diecast cars, and drifting.
