    Well it is over 50yrs old and probably well used throughout the years,and as he said it’s worth saving so good luck with the project and next it’ll look like NEW!!!👍

    It’s going to be spectacular and the day you collect it will be like driving it off the showroom floor back in 68.

    This is a cool process to share and document. I'm a Porsche fan so I want to see the 912 brought have to life. And I know you'll do it properly. She'll be a beauty soon. I'm all for it.

    A cool visit, always many fine Porsche sportscars to see there. Good thing you are going ahead with the 912 restoration.
    Real favorite in your stable, next to the cabriolet.
    Hope you can sort out many new partners to cover the costs. Can't wait for the first 912 drive with Ianthe and the dogs :)
    Thank you TGE.

    Wow Tom 😮 I’ve always said the same as Brian … old Porsches either been done, or need doing. My 79 targa at £25k looked a bargain… it’s devoured £35k and I didn’t need metalwork or engine rebuild 😱. RVD are making big waves in the Porsche scene…. Can’t wait to see 912 reborn… was a little sad at belgrave sq many moons ago….😊

    My ‘68 912 is in a very similar state, although most body panels are good on mine… I had to replace the torsion tube though, that was major work…

    Next time take a magnet with you....(and probably an independent expert).
    Expensive mistake, but all part of the learning process. Are the electrics all good....if not put a new wiring loom whilst it is all in bits.
    It will look great when its done mate....just have to work even harder 👍

    Sad news about the 912, but the guys at RVD are amazing - you'll finally end up with the car you always wanted. I don't think you'll ever make that mistake again (definitely a lesson learned for all of us watching, unfortunately you're paying the bill) 😉👍

      You think that makes you sound clever, but all cars of this age are the same, unless restored. All inspections will say it needs metalwork. You don’t buy an original European car from the ‘60’s and expect different.

      Tom it wasn’t a dig I own a classic which needs some welding despite living in a part of the world without much rain & no salt on the roads.
      Great channel.
