0:08Gavin introduces the twin-turbo GT350 after two months sitting and outlines its maintenance needs.
1:14An underbody inspection leads into an oil drain that reveals metallic sludge on the plug and filter.
7:18Brake and clutch fluids are flushed before the suspension work begins.
8:32Front coilover spacers raise the nose slightly, intended to help weight transfer and traction.
13:58Gavin starts the engine, checks its idle and heads out for E85.
18:45Road testing brings a driver-selectable suspension malfunction warning onto the dashboard.

Metallic sludge on the drain plug isn't the most reassuring start to a car's return. Gavin finds it early in his GT350 revival, before working through the fluids, spark plugs and suspension changes needed to get the Mustang moving again.

"My 1,500HP GT350 Is Finally Back" drew about 68,000 views in its first day, nearly seven times itsjusta6's usual opening audience. The car has been sitting for two months, Gavin explains, and he introduces it as "arguably one of the most iconic cars on the channel."

The overhaul is more than an oil change. Transmission and differential services join brake and clutch fluid flushes on a whiteboard checklist. Then comes a choice that changes the car's stance: front coilover spacers to lift its nose slightly, intended to help weight transfer and traction.

"In this case, traction is more important than looks. Function over form," Gavin says. Strap door handles and interior lighting still get their turn. The video also includes a sponsored segment.

Several viewers focus on the metal found during the oil service, questioning whether it could indicate bearing wear. Those comments are concerns, not a confirmed diagnosis of the engine.

Back on the road, Gavin notes a steadier idle and fills up with E85. But the test drive adds another job to the list: a dashboard warning calling for service on the driver-selectable suspension.
