Classic Porsche, fiat and Alfa car restorations with the occasional travel videos.
Porsche 912- Some side project now complete!
Workshop Archive #14
I have been on and off in the shop doing some smaller projects. Also waiting for a while to get these used CV joints in order to rebuild mine. The exhaust/muffler work was something i have been putting off but decided to go ahead and fix it.

I pulled the engine out of storage to finally give it proper attention. The next big step will be to finally get this engine installed but i first need to sort out my problematic heads. In this video im taking most of it apart to send the heads out for servicing and tackling whatever else needs to get cleaned or fixed. #911 #classiccars #porsche #restoration

Before I begin installing anything else on the car I need to figure out what is the state of the wiring harness, gauges, lights and relays. As well as continue painting the body and fixing any other hidden damage I find. #classiccars #porsche #porsche911 #restoration #911 Music by: @Dimiaa

PORSCHE 912. Front suspension, master cylinder and fuel pump rebuild
That exhaust is not US vs Euro or anywhere else, but it’s a 356 exhaust which is why the pipes are so far from each others. Euro - actually German and Swedish markets - 912 have a different set of pipes for the J tubes as the heat boxes are different and placement of the pipes are too.
ok now I understand, thank you. The nice thing is that everything fits together now
Great work. How did you maintain the torsion hole mounting point measurements it’s been a while since putting a pan in. I do recall the pans had a little play up down left right. Not having a bench Celette or car-o-liner you seemed to have aligned it fine I got to install one in mine. With no bench available
I was fortunate that the suspension controls could be bolted to the chassis. That location was not damaged so I figured if I just bolt the pan to the suspension that is being held in place on the chassis, that the pan would be suspended in the right spot. Thus, I could start bending and taking the car to the pan and be pretty confident that everything is in the right spot.
@@ilias8010 yeah makes perfect sense Thanks
Questions. #1 What pistons are you running and do you know what the piston angle dome is? #2 What was the deck height set at? #3 What was the static compression ratio? IMHO, I would send out the heads to get chamfered to the corresponding angle of the piston, that way you have a better quench.
The piston are original I didn’t split the case and change them from factory. Unfortunately I don’t know the angle. The heads are brand new with valves and springs. And the seats were cut with the proper angles. I just had to shim them. I have to still run a compression test when I bring the engine outside to test start it.
good stuff man! gonna start tackling some suspension stuff for my 77 911. I think I read somewhere that the inner splines on the torsion bar account for like 3 degrees and the outer splines at the spring plate account for like 1 degree or something like that..a fine dance to find the right numbers but glad you got it!
Yeah I believe you are correct, i spent around 10 min just finessing it to get to around 33 degrees. Good luck with your build.
Well done
Nothing beats fresh heads… I didn’t know AA performance made 912 heads. That is great to know…. What is that groove in the pump cover? Is that worn into it from a cooling tin?
Yeah my local machine shop told me about them and gave them a shot based on the cost. The valve springs need to be shimmed though, they don’t come built in. Are you talking about that circle groove seen before putting the cover on? There is a tin piece that covers half the cover that goes under the crank pulley that I didn’t install in the video yet.
@@ilias8010 yes, that groove on mine is almost all the way through the cover. I wasn’t sure if this was a groove worn in with time, or there from the factory
It looked like to me something that was from the factory when they casted the case. There only thing that moves are the gears, nothing on the out side that would “cut” that groove.
Nice and very satisfying I can imagine. But, hold on, is your oil drain plug screw on upside down? Hex on inside of motor?
I’m not quite sure what you mean, the drain plug hex is on the outside. Simply put it’s like a large bolt. They don’t have a magnet on it though.
I assume you realise, but your soft window Targa is a very rare car. With a high quality restoration it would be quite valuable. It's great that you're doing it up, but the finishes and techniques you're using (such as black paint on parts that should be raw aluminium or zinc plated) are not the best option for a car this rare.
I agree with you, I’m trying to do the best I can with my budget. I can’t get the car into concourse condition, really I’m trying to get it on the road and build it for my self.
Good work but I believe you might regret reusing the seal. I'd also advise using a brass drift when knocking out the bearing race, as it's unlikely to do any damage to the bearing housing if you hit it.
The seal it self looked good. Someone else gave me a tip to take that spring that’s in the seal and cut a piece of it off and reconnect it. Giving it a tight fit for the seal. Time will tell if I’m wrong
@@ilias8010 Hi, I hope you're lucky, as it looks a lot of work to replace a seal costing a few bucks. If the seal is too tight it can eventually ruin the sealing surface, which then requires a sleeve or spray metalling & re machining. Porsche use good quality materials in general, so you probably won't have that problem, as long as the seal remains intact, but once it starts to wear, fine grit can get stuck and quite rapidly wear the surface, where the lip meets. Anyway keep up the good work, it looks like you have a lot of bodywork to do. I thought MGB's rusted badly but there are a lot of early 911/912's on UA-cam with serious rust problems. At least with an MGB, mini, TR6 if it gets too bad you can reshell the car.
Thank you for the advice I appreciate it. Yeah the body work it’s self is a whole other level of the build. For now I just want to get it on the road and driving before I can think about body and paint.
Greeks restoring old Porsches and Alfa's on Long Island .. We need a club !!
Now that would be a proper club
😀 *Promo sm*
Thanks for the video - doing this on my 912 this winter; it’s excellent to follow you along.
Quite the project! Great to see you progressing
Great work!
Great video on the rebuilding the rear end, keep up the good work!
I watched your video before hand it was very helpful
This is timely, I have a box of parts to replace mine with but I’ve been putting it off cos it’s very cold in my garage 😊
I have the same problem with my shop. I just have to layer up.
I made the same mistake when I ordered my rear soft lines , either that or the supplier got it wrong. Got there in the end though.
Nice shop, even nicer spider!
What is all the black stuff you covered the bare metal in? is it POR15?
So I used POR15 undercoating and rustoleum undercoat I think for underneath and inside the car.
What are you filming on?
I’m low budget, my iPhone lol
Yooo im doing the same shit right now, so tedious! the tunnel area is so annoying!
Especially when laying on the ground and hitting your head while moving around.
Props for making your own throttle/accelerator ROD , the Porsche one is far too expensive for what it is . A cable is a cable not a rod 😊
Even if I wanted to pay for the rod Oem I couldn’t find it. Let’s hope mine works well.
Keep up the good work. Need a lot of patience for this job.
Good job on the wiring, I have a 67 912 coupe with a 76 912e T4 2.0 engine in it. Just subbed, can't wait to see more on your 912!
Thank you I have seen your 912 videos and sub to your channel in the past. Very helpful.
I think you might have invested the rear position light and turn signal bulbs. The turn signal should be the outer lights and the position lights is closer to the license plate. Those should be the dual spade light holders that do position lights and brake lights as well. The reverse light is actuated by a pin in the transmission, and you should be able to check them by connecting the two wires that go to that switch
Good catch thank you I’ll look into this
You may want to upgrade to a dual master cylinder which was standard from 68 onward, it gives redundancy in case something happens to the brake lines. The lines in the front are slightly different and you need a pedal cluster with a different plunger to the MC and a switch to the side.
I have thought of this but I decided to leave this as a future project for now. I want to get the car up and running first within the budget I have.
Like the way you ended with 'lights out'
Nice work!
Great Work!! I saw you used glue? over the welds. What is it? Is that the 3M stuff that is used for joints?
It’s a steam sealer that I got from eastwood, I brush it on my welds to give it rust protection.
I’m amazed at the courage it took to weld so many critical parts of the chassis without experience. Hats off to you. My 1970 needs similar work!
Thank you, it’s was either I do it or I get rid of the car. I had no other choice.
Really nice video! Informative and inspiring! Fools me to think I might be able to pull of the same kind of fix on my 82’ if need be😅

I am enjoying your channel, just curious why a 124? any history on that? I've had three and still have one, I just knew from the first time I saw one that I had to have one, the styling had me at first site. The rest of the car was icing on the cake. You are a very talented young man. The 912 is coming along nicely.
So I got the 124 as a barn find when I was around 16 and I tried to fix it up over many years ( whenever I made a few extra dollars). Since I got the 912 I have been ignoring the fiat unfortunately. But I like to use it during the warmer months so I needed to fix the head gasket issue. I also find it a very good looking car but can be difficult to fix at times lol.
Great vid… 👍🏼
I am enjoying following along on your progress. Rebuilding and repairing stuff on a project is very rewarding. Keep up the great work 😀
Bravo!
👍🏼👍🏼
Nice work!
Wow, it’s a “soft Targa”. That has become quite a valuable car 👍🏻
Awesome job! My D3 Suspension pan kit shipped out today. Your video should help me resurrect my '70 Targa!
Beautiful car! Some nice chromed hub caps and an original steering wheel would make it pop! 😊
Completely agree, one day I’ll try and restore the old wooden wheel for a video.
Thank you for these videos. I am embarking on a similar project (‘67 912 coupe) with the same rust issues. This has tremendously helped me out!
I’m glad to hear this ! If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to reach out again. Good luck
👍👍👍
I got a ‘72 six months ago and just got it running for the first time in years. Frustrating at times but totally worth it in the end! Such a cool car.
Yes they are funny, the electrical work is probably the most annoying imo.
Great work!!
Promo SM 💕
Your Dad sent me here. Nice work. Can't wait to see the final finished product.
What are you doing?? Small plasters of sheet metal? Learn how to do body work correctly!
Cardboard to make templates, can’t weld plaster.
Tf u saying lol dude used sheet metal, u ain’t watch obv
How did you even come to this conclusion? It’s like an idiocy speedrun. Watch the video next time you absolute moonfruit.
Wow, what a job...nice work!
