  • This week, Jack, Ethan, Edwin and Kyle (‪@skyrocketautomotive‬ ) dive into our abandoned Porsche 924 project car, which had been left in a field for 20 years, and was the cheapest in the country. How many parts will we need to change in order to get it running, and can we even drive the car at all?

    I have a 924 as a daily for the past 5 years. Am glued to this adventure you boys are on! Cant wait to see the supercharger.
    Also, replace EVERYTHING on the ignition side. They need a super strong spark to kick over reliably (especially in winter). I've tried a few and NKG leads seem decent. Also get a battery with slightly higher CCA rating than standard.
    Oh and good luck with the mystical WUR

Taking cars that post people would look at as junk or just too much work and breathing new life into them. Plus any of the solutions YOU guys think of might help someone else with a problem on their car. Good stuff.

I think its only gotten funnier without Alex tbh - your trio dynamic is great and the banter you have with the various mechanics/dyno specialist/sellers of cars are just top notch.

    Great to see you gentlemen save the old Porsche. I think it’s beautiful and has a lot of potential. And let’s not forget about that supercharger!

    I love when you actually bring back a car to life and mint it out in a series. I think you should supercharg it but only after you revive it to top shape. Love the series already.

    Anyone with a Rush T-shirt is a keeper. Like to see that extra power on some fat mud tires and lift the car for a Rally 924.

    As others have said, love the videos. So glad you are resucing good cars that deserve a 2nd (or in some cases multple) chances to live again and save them from the scrap heap.
