    For me, it was the most beautiful series I've ever seen. I wanted to follow you and repair and disassemble my 944 step by step. Thank you for the nice moments. We are waiting for 928 and others...❤

      I'm working on getting the title for my 928, it's been a challenge for sure. I hope to get another 944 in for this type of work. When the shop is clear of these other projects, we'll be back on it, and stronger

    Your 944 videos created a treasure trove of info, but don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Subscribed with notifications. I'm sure there is plenty to learn from you even on other vehicles that aren't nearly as awesome as the 944...LOL!

      Very kind, I really appreciate your comments. I wouldn't have the strength to keep doing this if is wasn't for you.

    Bummed about the 944 but honestly your videos are so informative and relaxing I’d watch you all do any car. Good luck on the 308, that’s one of my dream cars

    Sorry to hear about the 951. I just got back from a little mountain drive in mine and they are great cars. But I also love the early V8 Ferraris. I’ve been fortunate enough to drive several 308s and a Mondial and they are incredibly engaging sports cars. Keep up the amazing videos!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I wanted to see this thing go back together. I had visions of a brand new car!!!! Thank you for making all of these videos... They are very helpful even if you weren't able to complete the project!

    Shame about the 951, but also very strange timing from my personal POV. I literally just acquired a project 951 that I’m going to be starting on… right after finishing the belts and some CIS work on my 80 308! Lol! I’ve owned my 308 since 2014, so have already done a lot of what you’ll be embarking on. Those windows are notorious for being glacially slow because of the hardened grease. Best of luck on the 308- I still have a lot of catching up to do on your 951 series. :)

      Bring on the questions! I hope to be able to get these comments faster, I'm way behind on just about everything!

    Pouring one out for the 944. I hope you keep making videos, I could listen to you ramble forever

    It's a shame you had to shut down the 944 project, but the scope of the project would have required huge money to complete, it would be even for an owner doing DIY. Having a shop do this work for you is $$$$$$$. Your videos are super informative though, and I'm really looking forward to the transaxle setup videos - you must be aware that there's almost nothing of any real use available on UA-cam for 944 transaxles except for what you have done. And the 308 and 928 projects will be good to see as well. Best of luck!

      Thank you very much for the great comments. I really enjoy bringing this content to all of you. I want to expand my shop, and include so much more.

    Bummer that the 951 T will no longer continue. Looking forward to the 308 videos!!!

    • @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios
      @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios  Рік тому +1

      I was heartbroken over that. We had so much time invested. But with the support of all of you, we'll continue to make videos of other great cars.

    Such a shame about the 944 Turbo, but stuff happens and that's life. Looking forward to watching the 308 GTS videos!

      Thank you for being a part of our little world, the 308 will be a good project, we have a sound budget on that.

    Oh.. I'm keenly interested in one of the rebuilt transmissions.. Bummer on the project.. I just finished putting rod bearings in my 86 944T

    • @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios

      The transmissions I'm working on now belong to customers, but I can build you one if you like....

    Sorry to hear that the owner ran into life problems that prevented it from being done. If there is a chance that the owner could sell so that someone else could restart the project, would be good if you could let your viewers know.

    • @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios
      @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios  Рік тому

      We've had offers on the car, but the owner says that it's not for sale. We'll keep everyone posted if he changes his mind.

    that is a real shame, but cash is king I suppose. Look forward to your other restoration adventures

    • @EuropeanAutoCraftStudios

      Yeah, it's really depressing. Even with all of help we gave, and the bodyshop was going to give him, he still couldn't pull it off. We have so much going on, I thought that would be good foundation for us.

      I sure would like to continue this project, unfortunately the owner can't do it, and he won't sell it. Ugh.

      I really don't know. I've had offers to buy it that I have passed on to the owner. He refuses to sell it.
