    I just love how Elvis gets really hands on with the machining and fabrication with all of the recent Wheeler Dealers. Got a professional Mat Armstrong vibe to it, whilst still being highly personable.

    I like Mike Brewer and Elvis is a great mechanic but reality is for anyone else thats a big loss, Hartech aren't letting average Joe in to use they're facilities, moral is buyer beware the profit is made when you buy !

      I work at Hartech and I can confirm that yes we had them in the building but you’re exactly right and we couldn’t ourselves warrant the engine if we hadn’t fully done it our way so there is bits missed and things that are made to look like Elvis did them when in reality our engine tech did them

    Being a German I can give you some advice on how to pronounce the name of the wheels: its name is Fuchs, which in German isn't pronounced like "fouche", but like "fooks" (like it would be in "books"). 😉

    What have Porsche had to say about the bore score issue? Are they not embarrassed that their reputation will take a hit? Why couldn't these cars have had the higher quality cylinder liners from the outset? I've had issues with BMW bikes and the company attitude is to ignore you until you go away. Is that the Porsche philosophy too?

    Porsche used crap Lokasil and Alusil on their cylinders for all the non-turbo/GT3 996 and 997’s, but used the same across the whole 991 range.
    4% ? Yeh right…

    great video but it's the complete antithesis of what Wheeler Dealers is about. Who in the real world is going to take a gamble on a 15 grand car and has access to the facilities required to fix said car? Back in the day it was centred around the hobbyist buying cars for modest prices and doing jobs that could be done at home. Now, they have the resouces a F1 team would have as well as the budget and mechanics.

    It's not that easy and using anything but iron casing is recipee for it happening again! The reason being is that cylinder is flimsy on the ends and becomes egg shaped over time and it is flimsy because it is BORED out Boxster 2.5 block :D and the walls are thin as hell, you need to make it stiffer! TLDR it will score again ;)

Like the Volvo, Redid the interior all new suspension, And sells it foe a lousy 1500 dollars over what he did , Just plain stupid,Car was rust free, That car should have sold for 15,000, with out trying.He,s just Giving them away. He should be making 5000 dollar profit on every car they redo.
