So that will cost another $35.

When I pulled out my speedo/odo I could of backed my mileage back to 0
I did not. I set it at the mileage that was on the odo when I pulled it. Lets
face it, a 58 year old car ...You know the odometer has has been cleared before.
I dont trust any low milage car to be correct.

I did watch it. Typical YouTube video for clicks to make money. They're clearly not gearheads, they're YouTube "influencers" making videos to make money. Another in a long list of reasons I don't watch YouTube for anything, especially car videos.

Agreed. I've never pressure washed anything but the sidewalk and our old car hauling truck at work. Never a vehicle. This car, as well as being nothing special to begin with, is a money pit. The ONLY thing it has going for it is that nice red interior. I'm a sucker for red interiors.

You don't have a time stamp because that never happened. You imagined that.

The explaination for not powering the car is at 19:30, before the battery compartment was opened.

The battery compartment is opened later and no wiring damage is seen or mentioned.

If that's all that wrong. I'm sure the racoons and rodents stopped with the battery and starter cables, nothing else to worry about.

I re-watched the video and you are correct, I have my videos confused. These guys did one the week before from the same garage as well, an old Caddy.

Dirt floors and raccoons are never good for long term car storage. It never ends well.

She probably had the high output model.

Back then they didn't make wire insulation out or rodent food, so further damage is unlikely
