This video series filmed in my home workshop highlights the technical details of my classic car restoration (An aircooled Porsche 911). I’m starting with a stripped out shell from 1974 and backdating it to the earlier longhood look. (Backdated Porsche means to make it look older than it is). It’s not easy to build a car in a small garage but I hope to inspire other gearhead minded people like me to build something cool with DIY style.
In the first few episodes I will focus on the autobody metalwork to transform this junker into something fun to drive. Extensive metal fabrication is needed to give the body the wide and low stance that I'm looking for. Metal fab can be time consuming but its the detail that set each car project build apart from the rest. My classic Porsche strives to be unique with custom hotrod touches throughout. There will be some rust repair in the front trunk area including the infamous suspension pan...home fab style.
I plan to update weekly videos detailing the customization of my classic sports car. This is a low budget build so I plan to make many of the custom parts myself wherever possible. I hope you enjoy my car vlog that will hopefully become an autocross racer or track car someday.
Engine plans are 3.0L+ with individual throttle bodies ITB
Custom brakes and suspensions mods are also planned.
Please stay tuned for all updates on this project series.

My Classic Car Restoration Future Plans
I plan to modify the suspension and brakes with improved aftermarket parts from Elephant Racing and Tarett Engineering as money and time allows. Larger brakes from a late model Boxster will be used since this car didn’t come with any brakes and they seem to be the best bang for the buck. The engine will be from a later Porsche 911 to with at least 3.0 liters and I hope to use a custom individual throttle bodies with a modern injection system and software.
In other words, this build will be a mashup of all Porsche’s best years. The classic look of the early lightweight body with a more modern air-cooled drivetrain. Call it a restomod or hotrod if you like, but I’m going to make it my own with custom touches along the way. Please join me in this detailed restoration journey.

«you think I am crazy for simulating spot welds» 😂. Isn’t it what it is all about? Making invisible repairs 😀? This could be a show on tv, I would watch it 😊👍.
Thanks man! I try to do my best. It's different when it's your own car😃
Awesome work with just the basics. OEM panels are the best way to go when fixable. Nice swag too.
I think it was a good choice to save the original gas tank panel. I did put a lot of time into fixing the rust and cleaning that part up.
Great video again! I appreciate your style of making details, higher than the factory's standards. I have the same "disease".
Thanks, I know what you mean about the perfection disease. I'm not even trying hard on this car and this is what happens. I hope to unveil my show car soon. Stay tuned.
Really interesting de-rust method. I remember doing this to my car years ago. It was a beast!
Thanks Michael! This method is really good for brake calipers and engine parts where you don't want sand contamination. More vids to come.
Great video! Keep them coming
Thanks man!
I've always considered simulated spot welds to be better than welds along the panel edges. The parts are designed to be strong with welds in the middle of the seams and not at the extremeties.
Totally agree with this. I also measured the torsional rigidity of a car chassis when adding seam welds. It does work.

Great work !!! Makes me happy that our 85 . carrera is a galvanized Arizona car !!!
Yes, both of those things help for sure! I still recommend some maintenance on those hollow cavities. Video scope cameras are cheap now so non destructive inspection is possible. Treat with cavity wax or similar.
Garage Time - Restomod good tip !!
Garage Time - Restomod hey man !!! Here is our 85 , video was shot by previous owner . gonna shoot a video update on the car , if the sun ever comes out again !!😄😄😄😄😄 ua-cam.com/video/FMrpfKRKrjI/v-deo.html
wow!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely, hope it helps someone.
Great Job!
Everything. Passion,entertaining,educational. Love it. Totally addictive :) What is your professional background ?
I'm a licensed professional mechanical engineer in Cali. Need any engineering work done? Ha ha.
My 914, Rusty, could use your rust removal set up. I don’t have a battery but I suppose a Lionel ZW transformer with 21VAC and 275 watts might work? Also, a rubber enclosure of most any size would also work to submerge parts?
This is an exciting video for someone working on a Porsche or any other car.
Love the name Rusty! I don't think an AC transformer will work, because the polarity is important. Do you have a battery charger? Use that instead. I think you'll like this method.
Garage Time - Restomod My other 914 is named Rustier. Among my other problem children is an ‘88 944 that needs its oil pump drive replaced.
Oh, I see a rustiest in your future, ha ha. Any 356 will do!
Suppose I could use a DC power pack from my HO trains. Trains are my one true love.
Great hobby too! I've been into RC cars most of my life. That should work fine. Give it a few hours to do it's thing. You should see lots of bubbles coming of the part.
Did i miss the reinforcement installation I see they are in?,
They are in there! Check out this video for install.
