- With a whole lot of metalwork ahead of us on this Porsche 912 Restoration it was tricky to decide where to begin! But we’re well stuck into it now!

Absolutely love and respect the skill and craftsmanship on display here. I'd buy an old 912/911 (I did own a 1973 911T a long time ago) to restore if I had your metalworking skills. Great stuff. Thank you!
Thank you!! Bet you regret selling the 911T, lovely car to own!
Good going as usual!
So many memories of decades ago for me. Love to see a spot welder used where possible too.
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
Wow! Impressive work! Brilliant!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is what happens when you tow boats in and out of the sea with your car for 60years 😂
Fantastic work 👍
Haha you could be right 😅 thanks
Excellent video and repair work, keep on posting the great work you do 👍
Thanks, will do!
Quality craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🫡 new video out tomorrow
Now that’s what I call a Metalwork Marathon, great work, keep on Welding 😂😂😂👍
Thanks! Will do! Should keep me busy for a while
Great timing, just starting on mine!
Awesome, good luck 👍🏻
That jig is worth its weight in gold. Great work as always.
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 👌
Wow, amazing work
Thank you 👌 please like and subscribe!
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
The car lived it's life as a submarine perhaps? 😅 ... Great work so far. The patch panels you've got seem to fit pretty well too, OEM?
Generally speaking the Porsche aftermarket panels (largely by Dansk) aren’t terrible. We’re using a mixture of Genuine and aftermarket on this build
Great work, proper job 👍
Another couple of weeks and it should be ready for the new floor!
😊
awesome.
Thanks!

Great work and thanks for taking the extra time to share with the world. At around 20:40, you talking about the "kidney bowl". What does that part do structurally for the car? In other words, why it is there?
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.
It is certainly a car in need of some TLC.
That’s an understatement 😅
so nice to see a job done properly , as opposed to watching some of the '' restoration'' guys rolling about on the floor guessing where things go and pie cutting curves.
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
