Have missed my weekly dose of sarcasm and rebuilds. Nice to see the blue oval getting an earbashing re their engineering choices. Happy new year to you Scott and all the gnomes and I look forward to seeing this latest build progress. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
That was one tough deer! The yell never gets old. Wow, Mr. Spotty, aren't we lucky. I am surprised to see magnesium used in a car like this. Not only is it expensive, it burns under water. Not too safe! This car and engine look exactly the same under the hood as my wife's 2008 Taurus X Limited. I have fought some of these same battles. LOL
Gotta love what a "healthy" deer herd does for automotive health. Good greif did that poor car shatter. Gotta car in the shop currently for the same issue.....thx for the vid!
Love it scott using the building as a proper anchor for pulling the auto back into shape, now that’s improvisation, great post scott I was missing my weekly dose of great automotive repairs and to be honest the sarcasm, isn’t that Homer Simpson,s pop group name
Scott, up here, I live a little south where you picked up this vehicle, the road crew don't use just road salt, they also put sand on the road, so maybe that is why it wasn't rusted so badly.
Looks like we all survived the holiday and now its time to get back to work. Hope you had a successful year and ready for a new one. Looks like a good ride from thr U P and not a lot of rust. Enjoy
Great video as usual. What happened to the rolled pick up. Would be good to see how that project is doing… Or is that another dirty word like the Mustang…😂
Used to have a '91 Explorer that went toe to toe with a dear. It ran out in front of me during some rain, "grill guard" took the brunt but shoved it into everything it was supposed to protect then scooped the deer under the suv causing me to lose control and slide off into a tree lined ditch. Luckily the ditch kept me away from the trees.
Missed your video last week. Hope you had a great holiday and a well earned break from all the vehicle repairs. All the best from Queensland Australia.
Hope you had a good break. Surprising how much damage tripping a deer can do, but considering what the bush donkeys can do to a transport it makes sense. Should be interesting to see the rebuild. I always learn something here, mainly the sarcasm, or the proper use of the bumper installation tool. Thanks for sharing
Think you are safe in the desert? Snake? Gopher? Nah! Try wild horses and extra large burrows. 9 times out of 10, they are fatals. Thru the windshield and peel the roof back. Average speeds are 80+ on our smooth, straight, no traffic roads. Slow down at night...
Damn shame you are the worlds best Tech Scott,,,, cuz your standup is priceless. He had a lot going on..............out of his house. That thing is freaking totaled!!!!!!!! IDK what you and Eric O have going on but I'm 2 hours from him and still have the lot full of low mile rebuildable I would LOVE to have you guys do something with!
Did I miss the last episode of the Red to Black Silverado? The last one I saw was the color reveal. I'm also missing the last one from the Civic giveaway. Hope the holidays treated you nicely. Cheers from Maryland.
Saw the aftermath of one Deer bending every body panel on a Dodge pick-up truck many years ago. Right front fender was only good one left. The Deer was definitely tenderized by the time it hit the ground.
@@vehcor Pretty common here in Australia with kangaroos being fairly well everywhere except in the cities. The damage to our Starwagon was worse because it was a medium sized kangaroo and it went through the grille, taking out the radiator, condenser, fan and water pump. The hood and bumper were also damaged and replaced and the radiator supports were straightened. All up, $4.5k damage.
As a moose hunter that uses a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I can categorically say it was a deer.There was not enough windshield on the front carpet and the front roof was intact.
Had an 02 cavalier that whacked a deer. Coming home from work at 1am. Only thing it did was dent the hood and shatter a headlamp. Must've been going about 45. Worst part was I got pulled over a few miles down the road and given a ticket for having a light out.
I understand what it is supposed to do. It seems foolish to worry about noise when so many other issues plague these cars. Not to mention you cannot tell the difference if the fenders are not glued back on. I have seen 100s from shops that just throw them on and there is no more road noise than ones that are glued in.
I'm not sure if they still do this but when I was in the Marine corps the Navy and the Marine corps both had a lot of aircraft with magnesium parts and that's not a good thing on board ship because magnesium fires are almost impossible to put out
Yes, they still use magnesium on the landing gear because it is lightweight. Most airport fire crews use a class D dry chem fire extinguisher that will put out magnesium fires. It is still used in cars but not usually in places that are prone to fire like the front end.
Back to Ford Friday, love it! I have no shame in admitting I love my Blue Oval vehicles! (I'm sure there's some undiagnosed intellectual disabilities in my head as well but hey, we can't all be perfect 😁👌) Anyhoo, glad you're back Scott, hope you had an awesome holiday season!!
Funny I just picked up one of these off the auction labeled mechanical with clean title for the infamous water pump/timing chain combo. Was going to sell, but think I'll drive it just to annoy the wife as she hates the styling! ha.
@@mph5896 Yes, its back on the road. Took me longer then your time for the first one, but wasn't gloom and doom like people thought. Pretty straight forward.
Scott will have this looking new in no time. I juat did some slide hammer work on my sisters 07 Accord deer damage it's drivable again sorta but looks pretty bad her kids don't wamna ride in it Lol
Hey Scott, in your professional opinion, should the MKT's be painted in camo to save them? lol Great video as usual. Happy New Year to you, family and crew.
That blue wire wrapped around the main engine harness is some pretty shady shadetree crap! Hope the TH-cam viewer who owns this vehicle is reading these comments. 😆😆
I was thinking 'moose' from the outset. I'm not sure a deer could make that sort of damage unless you fired it from a cannon.
I got a good laugh picturing a moose being fired from a cannon. 😂
@@vehcor Moose bore cannon are for taking down city wall. Deer bore cannon are for taking out MKZs
Velocity X mass = totaled
Could be an Elk. Or a rhinoceros the way that motor mount is cracked.
Have you seen the deer in the upper parts of the USA? I've seen a deer do worse damage.
Gore and guts. But no gloves? You're the man!!
There's supposed to be a cover on that engine So you don't have to look at it. I love this channel.
I said that quietly so I was not flooded with tears from the Ford fans! 😂
@@vehcor I call BS. We know your fueled by hater's tears!
This is by far your best video this year!
It is also the worst!
I feel like I should go out on top and not make any more! 😂
great first rebuild of the New Year!! You always amaze me by not even flinching at these jobs!!
Thanks, this is a nice easy one!
Nice to see you Mr. Spotty
In the pile ya go, Mr Spotty!
@@vehcor be kind Mr. Spotty is your friend . If he could drive he'd bring you a pizza . Unlike certain daughters .
That's a funny inspection port, usually they put them on the bottom of the engine so you can look at your piston rods
NOW you install the Mass Airflow Sensor! Blue smoke gone!
Thanks for the vid!

I worked at the plant in Oakville, Canada where I believe that car was built !!!
I like the wheels on that 'beast'! Reminds me of the classic Minilite Wheels!
foam in the fenders is for sound deadening and also some adhesion very common in luxury vehicles

I needed a break… still do!
Lazy is a very strong word ,I like to call it selective particapion!Great content as usual🤗😎🤗😎
hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video Scott .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Scott this car is gonna be getting the right repair 110%. Thanks again for the advise on the junk yard. Happy New Year. Stay safe and be well
The owner must have contacted you to fix it. It a good and fun build for you
I'm from Michigan. Deer hits are REAL common around here. Great video!
Great video as usual. What happened to the rolled pick up. Would be good to see how that project is doing… Or is that another dirty word like the Mustang…😂
Dang, that car needs a ton of parts. We will have to see if Scotts part emporium has anything in stock. And click on those cat heat shield bolts.

I needed a break, not sure it was long enough though! Hope you had some great holidays as well.
The Michigan Deer/Moose likely walked away none the worse for wear.
Good to see Mr. Spotty making a cameo apperance.
It was a big deer, according to the driver, and it was DOA. When you are a deer and you mess with an MKT, you mess with the best 😁
Love the sarcasm,just keep doing what your doing and carry on to the next.great video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks for sharing Scott.
Thanks man. You make it look so simple, like you could make that repsir with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back.
I hava 1990 Honda Civic that I would love to see you repair. Any time you need content, you can keep it as long as it takes.

Top of the mitten…love it!
I have a 2012 ecoboost supercharged....sleeper car! I love mine
These and the ford flex drive so nice. Great road trip cars.
I always liked the look of the Flex. The MKT, not so much.
I live in the mitten state and have always wondered what happened to the bulbus Ford Exploders... Now I know...
Thanks for the new video Scott. Any idea what that extra blue wire was for that was wrapped around the upper wiring loom?
Welcome to MI, brother. Time to Vehcor binge...
My father was mechanic for Citroën and also has a face for every task. Last one i,ve seen is his dashboard speaker mounting face. 😀
That good you got the unload perfect this time

Happy New Year Scott and the pizza girl not forgetting the gnomes 👍🏻🏴
Scott, if you’re not gonna use those dual electric fans, I could use them!!
Great video. Nice to see an MKT as a rebuild choice. Maybe someday this will lead to a Flex rebuild or two? There's a Ford in your future!
Love your video's. You make it look so easy but it's not. I went nuts taking a fender of a crown vic.
Did I miss the last episode of the Red to Black Silverado? The last one I saw was the color reveal. I'm also missing the last one from the Civic giveaway. Hope the holidays treated you nicely. Cheers from Maryland.
What about the Civic Si and the Mustang? Just living up to the accusations of never finishing anything.
@@vehcor You're more ambitious than I ever will be. I appreciate the continued content.
Great video, can't wait to see it rebuilt. Happy New Year to ya and Mr Spotty lol.
Did you try Scotts Lincoln emporium for parts? Definately think it was a dear job.
Happy New Year Scott and the Pizza Girl too!
Great video Scott, them Lincolns are definitely not made like the old ones were tanks that rode like a limousine
That deer did way more damage to the Lincoln than what the kangaroo did to our Mitsubishi Starwagon when my wife hit it.
Saw the aftermath of one Deer bending every body panel on a Dodge pick-up truck many years ago. Right front fender was only good one left. The Deer was definitely tenderized by the time it hit the ground.
I have only seen one kangaroo hit in Chicago in my career. It didn’t do much damage but is a pretty uncommon occurrence here. 😂

@@vehcor how did someone hit a kangaroo in the states?
@@agger838 they were imported and some probably escaped
Great video, Scott!
WOW what damage! Good luck working that MKT over.
Unbelievable the amount of money they sell these for with the junk material they use nice job on the tear down 👍😎
Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work
You do awesome work. Happy New Year.
Good job.
And I’m think you will be have some time for mustang. It’s my dream car, but it not possible in my country, very expensive.
0:52 Blue smoke is from Oil, Black smoke is from fuel. I dont think a MAFS Has anything to do with oil.and cause it to blow Blue smoke.
Hillbilly Bob’s all-in-one store exists in one form or another in every small town up here in N. MI!
Haha, I figured. It was amusing to a city boy like me. 😂
Use what fits the panel
As a moose hunter that uses a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I can categorically say it was a deer.There was not enough windshield on the front carpet and the front roof was intact.
Great car I have a 2014,,,I am sure he will do a fine job repairing and shooting down a lincoln vechile
That blow wire looks factory!
I got a deer once with an 81 Corvette
What is an MKT? Is it categorized as a crossover SUV, or is it a station wagon? Idk what to categorize it as. It's quite fancy.
Thank You, another enjoyable video….
did it come with the mounted deer?
that front bumper reinforcement comes spot welded and painted from the factory
Is there an echo in here?
@@vehcor I was gonna say something else with that and now I can’t remember but lol
Thanks for sharing.

A rebuild wouldn't be a rebuild without a trailer scream!!
I work at the Ford plant on the higher-trim vehicles they seal the finders like that to make it quieter in the cab from wind noise
I understand what it is supposed to do. It seems foolish to worry about noise when so many other issues plague these cars. Not to mention you cannot tell the difference if the fenders are not glued back on. I have seen 100s from shops that just throw them on and there is no more road noise than ones that are glued in.
But did Billy Bob taxidermy the road kill is my only question
That car has so many in the pile pieces just from the engine alone.
The D.O.T. needs to put crosswalks with lights so the deer can cross safely and maybe a few deer blinds.
A guy told me once the front of those cars looks like a Ballein whale, can't get that out of my head
Mr Spotty looks well rested. Surprising what damage a deer can do 🤥🤥
But is there a Scott's MKT Emporium?
Only put a tiny chip in the paint
I'm not sure if they still do this but when I was in the Marine corps the Navy and the Marine corps both had a lot of aircraft with magnesium parts and that's not a good thing on board ship because magnesium fires are almost impossible to put out

...but have you driven a Ford Lately? I have been waiting to see that model in Ford showrooms for years.
I have a friend who frequently informs me that 95% of all Chevys built are still on the road. The rest made it home.
@@timkaldahl that's hilarious! Thank you!
What the heck is that blue wire for?
A scam rust inhibitor. I think I’ll show it and explain it in one of the future videos.
Funny I just picked up one of these off the auction labeled mechanical with clean title for the infamous water pump/timing chain combo. Was going to sell, but think I'll drive it just to annoy the wife as she hates the styling! ha.
Let me know if you need any parts.
Everybody thinks that water pump is the death of the 3.5/3.7. I can bang out a pump in 4 hours.
@@mph5896 Yes, its back on the road. Took me longer then your time for the first one, but wasn't gloom and doom like people thought. Pretty straight forward.

a little walking will change their minds
Wait, using a body hammer as a body hammer? Now I've seen everything.
That sure must’ve been a high speed collision.
Nice project oh deer! Lol.thanks john from arizona

Can anyone tell me if the answer has been revealed to what the “Blue Wire” is for?
That wire seems to be the visual star of the show.
Why did the steering wheel airbag not deploy?
Somebodys been there before😉
Once again another kool video. 🚗🚗🚗
I just paid 1400 for new headlight and ballist for my mkt I can't imagine how much this repair is going to cost.
the VEHCOR SCREAM should be a double one...............
