Porsche 911 Targa Restoration// Part 5 (PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER!!)
After owning this 1973 Porsche 911 Targa for three years, it's finally time to start putting it back together. It was a race car for many years, and I made the decision to bring it back to a road car. This is not advisable. I would never advise anyone to do this unless you love pain, and bleeding money.
It's been a huge learning experience for me the last few years with these old cars. It's a true labor of love. Restoring an old car is no easy task. For those doing the entire thing on their own, I salute you. This was clearly too much for me, which is why I took it to Perfect lines Restoration to have them straighten the car and do the metal work. I've still done a decent amount of work on this car, but not nearly as much as I'd planned to do.
A friend to come help made this a much more enjoyable day, and a better video in my opinion.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

Porsche 912 Drive (POV)- Alone on a mountain road
Переглядів 6 тис.5 місяців тому
Come for a drive in my 1968 Porsche 912. The car is at the point where I've been driving it almost everyday and using it as a normal car. It's a great vehicle to jump in and go run errands or whatever I need to do. A canyon road is a lot more enjoyable than running errands. Life's been busy and I haven't had a chance to drive it on mountain roads more than a couple times. If you enjoy watching ...
New Seats for my 1972 Porsche 911 E
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
I got a set of reproduction sport seats for my 1972 Porsche 911 E. I really love the look and feel of the Recaro Rallye 1 seat that I had in the car, but it was pretty tight on the hips. Since I want to drive this car on road trips and rallies, it made sense for me to get something more comfortable. Sport seats have always been something I've wanted. I bought a set of repro seats for this car a...
1968 Porsche 912 gets new front and rear glass seals
Переглядів 2,7 тис.7 місяців тому
I replaced the front and rear glass seals. I figure it was worth sharing since other people may be curious as to how this job goes. I did not want to do this, but two of my cars needed new seals. It would have cost nearly $2,000 to have both cars done. A decent savings and one more small skill as an at home mechanic. Hope it helps anyone looking to do this. Other Channels offer more detailed in...

My 1968 Porsche 912 is back on the road. In this video you'll see a few driving clips of the car and hear how the story unfolded when I was stranded in the canyon the last time you saw me. This restoration took a lot of time, money, and effort. It's difficult to put into words how cool it feels to be here. Thank you for following this little series. music www.epidemicsound.com/track/46Avw5ERiS/

Update on my 1973 Porsche 911T Targa since it's been at the body shop for some time now. This car was a race car that was used as a vintage race car most of its life!

The interior of my Classic (Olive 72 Porsche 911)
I love the “ Smiling “ that was cool. Beautiful ride. Happy for you and the car. Match made in heaven.
I love your content and the vintage Porsche. Id not like that seatbelt. That would bug the shit out of me. Id switch to a lap belt.
Hello Mr Michael it been a while
Experts 😂
Everybody here taking the piss but they would do exactly the same if they had a classic like this.
🤣🤣🤣 You too! Excellent Michael💥😂
Cool video! Where and how did you mount that interior camera?
WISE WORDS! And, Pay for a PPI!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dad used to say it’s not about rolling the meter back but keeping that new car smell contained.
i know its a bit, but i really got annoyed and triggered by this B@tch
Wow! I really just laughed out loud because this is me anytime my wife or a friend gets in my 911 targa.
Then don't drive the damn car jeez
It's the woman's job to not touch anything
@@bensmiley7042 then she ain't gonna touch you too 😂
Wtf, wyd??? Ugghhh get out of my car.
😂
The lotion on the seats💀😂
AS a 65 year old gut that has modified many an OEM to Sport exhaust spec mufflers, it is the ONLY muffler for an early 911. Well done! Last one I did was for a 69 S, maybe my 71 S, I'm old, I forget! Anyway, dang well done!
The seating position is as good as it gets, as close to a Lotus F1 or F2 car driving position as you can get on the road, the car fits the driver.
Might be worth looking into a hot start relay. I put one on my bug and it has helped tremendously. Simple to hook up too.
that could solve my problem. Car starts up easy when its cold
@michaelgideon6422 I hope it works out! Be wary, the relay I received was wired improperly when I received it. It's worth double checking their work.
Stop looking at me swan 😂😂😂
Michael, I sent you a PM on pelican forums about wheels. -JuniorVarsity
How about an update on the car? I am looking at one as I type this.
Nonsense ! I bought a 911 long wood from 69 and restored it completely , now it is worth twice as much as I spend for the junk car plus restoration .
sure, 20 years ago it was a great idea..
I kick myself for not buying one of these 15 years ago for 6500 or 8500 when l came across it,here in Montana. It was red and ran, now l would have to sell my Boxster and Barracuda and some Guitars to get basically get that same car.Enjoy those mountain twistys!
Dude where did you learn all this? It can’t be just from UA-cam videos? Were you a mechanic, have you worked before at a shop?
As I go through your awesome channel I get more and more dumbfounded 😅! WAIT so you have 4 Porsches? The red, the olive, the green Targa and this white Carrera as well?!
stumbled upon this. Very interesting to see your project, your grit and your friendship. This was uplifting.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Well done…in the beginning I didn’t think you’d get it done! Great teamwork wins the day! Really enjoyed the video and hope you continue documenting the Targa build. 😀👍👍
Two is better than one! Thank you for the support! I'll post more about the car soon
@@michaelgideon6422 Look fwd to that. What are the plans for the body/paint?
@@user-ym8lt3js7l It's all done! Planning on posting a video of the car here soon
Oh yeah I’ve also bought a bunch of cars as shells with everything in boxes. Great way to get a deal on a classic but it’s always sad to see the guys who’ve been defeated by the process.
It would be fun to hear about your most memorable finds.
Yeah! Keep the videos coming 🙌. Really enjoying them 👌🏻
Thanks Dan! Hope you're well my friend
Keep up the good work! It’s awesome to see all of these cars you’re working on and putting in the grind!
Thanks! My grind is about to end :) I'm exhausted
Total Respect Guys. Well done. Great video..❤
Thank you! Appreciate it a lot
Saw your IG.Great to see it on the road🎉🎉🎉
The green machine is a runner! Spoiler alert for the YT crowd :)
Looking forward to seeing the progress!
Thanks Craig! I'll share more very soon. It's gotten pretty far!
Nice work fellas
Thanks!
so amazing to see, Michael! you and Chris are absolute heroes for undertaking such a project and actually succeeding! it working so well during the overcrest rally on its maiden voyage is a true testament to how well you and chris know these cars. you should be real proud! the shop i occasionaly help at with porsche matters, here in Madrid, Spain, usually takes about three years to complete a car.... sending my boss your video immediately! very kind regards from a fellow porsche enthusiast from across the pond :)
Thanks Pablo! I've owned this car almost three years now. It was at perfect lines for about a year. I'm still very surprised how well it did on the rally! We filmed this video less than two months ago. A shop helped with a lot of the mechanical work between this video and the rally, so I certainly won't take credit for doing all the work. Appreciate the comment, and would love to visit you guys in Spain someday. Cheers
First comment! Told you to drop it today and you didn’t disappoint 🙌🏾 ⚡️. Gotta be the 1st to show ya love. Thanks as always for sharing your journey w/ these 911 beauts. I wanna be you when I grow up! 😉
Your message pushed me to upload it quicker! Thanks for the love and seeing what I'm up to with these cars. Cheers man
What gasoline are you using? I was thinking about getting 93 octane but I’m interested in what you run?
What ever happened to this car?
It is still waiting for my attention to finish it
@@michaelgideon6422 I just brought one '70 s2 back to life .
Where did you get the door cards from? Rennline?
i loved my 912 back in the 70s but always fearful it would break down and bankrupt me like it did the previous owner but it never had a problem just rust in front pan to suspension but back then only 400 to fix
Great sound track to an awesome driving car!
😎👍
Concerning the muffler - have a look onto Bisimoto's Pulse Chamber. This might be the lightest muffler you can get for the 911. Also you gain more power and torque...
great car..
Really enjoy your videos and presentation style. You mentioned about using your drone and doing it alone, I'd be keen to see you do a video on how you set up and get the drone footage that you do. Cheers
Well thank you! I could show a behind the scenes on how I do that, it would be educational and comical. It's a scramble.
What a ripper!
Oh yea, it's border line too much torque for an early car. So much fun though.
Appreciate the effort in making these! You are so correct that there is nothing better than an old 911 on canyon roads..
Thanks for the support Craig! More driving less wrenching!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Thanks!
Badass! Sick to see you rip it.
Thanks!
