On this I reckon it’ll be around 70% new metal, which has both its pros and cons!

Really Glad you’re enjoying it and following along! Check out some of our other build series like the 911SC and Karmann Ghia show car if you get a chance

Haha thank you 😂 been doing it nearly 18 years now so you’d hope I’d pick it up by now!

Thank you 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed it! 👌

Thank you! It doesn’t currently have an engine so but the plan is to run a spicey type 1 VW engine. Something around the 160bhp mark

💪

Thanks! I reckon it’ll be around 70% new metal! Pretty much the roof, dash and parts of the bulkhead will be OG metal!

Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it 👌

I don’t think you could restore a car like this without a jig! It was so over the place even taking measurements would have been a little sketchy and it would have taken considerably longer. Likewise, without the spot welder it would take so many more hours to complete what we’ve managed to complete so far!

Thank you! Cheers! It reminds me of my nan’s doily’s 😅

Thanks Pat 🙌🏻

👌

Thank you! 😊

Thanks 👍 plenty more to come!

Thanks for the kind comments 👍🏻 is your ghia similar?

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 👌

I expect it to take 300-400 hours for metalwork alone but it’s tricky to tell at this stage. Full prep and paint will be another 250 hours. Economics don’t always make sense, we build a lot of cars where the build cost exceeds the end value but for most of our clients they just want their dream build. Buying a brand new car doesn’t make good economic sense as it depreciates year on year.

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks! Glad the videos are of use 👌

I think some of the changes are year specific changes rather than model change. But I agree, it’s hard to understand why they change some of this stuff some times!

Thanks 👍

Inner gusset, that would make more sense 😅 Glad you’re enjoying it 👌

The spot welded makes things so much quicker too (better value for customers as you get more done!) drilling, plug welding and dressing the welds takes so long

Thank you! I think they’ve got quite excited now they can see progress! Talking about what colour to paint it already 😂

It looks scary but it was really only 3 panels so a lot of progress happens quickly! The front is going to be more of a jigsaw puzzle as we didn’t by complete flitch panels (due to cost!) glad you’re enjoying the videos, please share them with anyone you think might enjoy them 👌

It’s not always about the value of the vehicle. We’ve restored VW Beetles and Minis in worse condition!

Anyone can pull a trigger on a welder but it’s everything that goes along with that that matters. Panel prep, fitment, welder settings, even grinding is it’s own skill! We use ABS blasting who use various media depending on what they’re blasting. Olivine, slag, bead and walnut shell generally.

Haha thank you, I appreciate it 👌

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying them! Please share and subscribe!

Most of them come from either Design911 or Porsche themselves

Awesome, good luck 👍🏻

Thanks, yeh this one is pretty poorly but it’s unusual to be THIS bad!

Thanks!

This is actually an American car 😂

England colonized every country on Earth. Every country now has rust. Coincidence?!?! That is too funny though. I wish every country would stop salting their roads. Bad for vehicles and bad for the environment.

Thanks again!

Thanks ✌️

Thank you 🫡 new video out tomorrow

Thanks!

To some people (and most of our customers) it’s not always about the cost of the build or resto. It’s about the end result and getting the car they’ve always dreamed of. That aside I would always recommend buying the most solid and original car (within reason) as a base as panelwork is labour intensive and expensive.

Also why do these things always have to make financial sense? Buying a new car doesn’t make financial sense, it’ll depreciate. Joining a golf club doesn’t make financial sense. Just saying

👌

Generally speaking the Porsche aftermarket panels (largely by Dansk) aren’t terrible. We’re using a mixture of Genuine and aftermarket on this build

Thank you 👌 please like and subscribe!

Absolutely, one of my best investments. We have brackets now for all Aircooled 911s from 1965 swb right through to the 993 as well as brackets for E Types and minis! Glad you’re enjoying the channel 👌

No problem! The kidney bowl closes the end of the sill, creates a box section that runs up the B pillar and strengthens the junction between the sill and B pillar. The main problem is that it then creates a real dirt and moisture trap which is why this area is always the first to rust out on a 911/912. In the mid 80s they changed the design of the kidney bowl to incorporate the jacking point too.

Thank you, glad you’re enjoying it! And some of those guys have hundreds of thousands of subscribers!!

@@classiccarrevivalsofficial yep , and they talk abot how great they are and what a fantastic job etc etc etc , its a sad old world , but it shows you that some folk really dont know craftsmanship and quality .

Unfortunately it’s the gift of the gab! Always been the same!

@@classiccarrevivalsofficial the one I have in mind can hardly speak , let alone narrate ... lol

Thanks, will do!

Thanks a lot 😊

Another couple of weeks and it should be ready for the new floor!

😊
