Dude! What a huge effort! I'm glad you reinstalled the dash etc. That was starting to look like a nightmare if you left it for a few months. I'm very keen to see how you do the actual conversion. Especially CANBUS etc. Well done.
Very glad I found this channel. Love the way you do your work, very organized. I couldn't do any of this myself, so I live my "car mechanic" life vicariously through you. lol Keep up the amazing work!
Super glad I was directed to your channel via JerryRig! Love your videos and how much time goes into them. They make a very satisfying watch and you have the patience of a saint! Keep it up!
Good heavens! I am awed at how you persevere at this disassembly process. Me? I would be cursing the bureaucracy that mandated all the rubbish that goes into a modern car. I would think...mistakenly, I'm sure...all these unboltings and unscrewings as the "paperwork" in a modern vehicle. To watch you throw out all these "office files" into (hopefully...) the "Recycle Bin" is satisfying. I hope YOU enjoyed it as much as I did!
Congratulations on reaching this milestone!. Quite an effort. I laughed at the bolt in the fan you had to remove. Love that German engineering mind! Excited to see your rebuild/conversion work. It'll be am meistens ausgezeichnet!
I've never seen a car with so many components! (I haven't seen that one being disassembled to begin with, but it starts to make sense why these are so expensive) Hope you remember where all the cross braces went. It looks like not just the weight distribution plays a big part in Porsche's iconic driveability, but also the structural stiffness that some components or their mounting brackets were adding. The engineering on these cars is amazing.
@@ElectricSuperCar 😄 I might forget it, I'm not organised like you are and would probably get anxiety just thinking about taking on a project like this.
Hi Jeremy, I just found your chanel this weekend and binged almost every episode, ( dont think the wides too happy). I've subbed and am really looking forward to the Cayman build. Keep up the good work and the entertaining videos.👍👍
Thanks for the Porsche teardown video. It will be exciting to see the new CF panels that you build for a custom look of the Porsche GT -E. I am also looking forward to seeing your wrap up video for your first EV supercar. It came out great, and it will be enjoyable to see all of those many years of blood, sweat and tears, elbow smashing, fiberglass patching, and head scratching, required to create that great car. All rolled into a tight, summary video.
awesome video, as always! cheers from 🇧🇷. One question, when reassembling I didn't saw you putting the dash panel back (velocimeter, bc, etc.), just a frame, are you planning to use a different one? I love the Porsche dash design, I think it would be crazy if somehow you manage to make it work (tho you won't have rpm...)
Astounding all the time, blood, sweat, tears (?) going into the teardown. Looking forward to the "build" portion of this project. Thanks for showing us your work!
I think the supports you removed from your stage 2 teardown vid were actually structural, cuz I remember them talking about it on Mat Armstong's vid when porsche were inspecting his cayman s. Sorry for forgetting to comment it on you vid before.
Did you do any internet searches to help with the tear down or just use your engineering experience to figure out how to peel back the layers? Do you have a service manual to help? One of the hardest parts of the tear down is taking pictures and bagging small parts for each assembly. Then making notes for the various sizes of fasteners and what location they were removed.
Body panels are usually abs. You can chemically weld abs by using acetone. It gets as strong as new since the bond is just abs. Its a lot cleaner and simpler.
@@ElectricSuperCar if you need abs putty you can just mix abs scraps and acetone in a jar and mix it. Once you spread it on the part the acetone wil evaporate and you are left with just abs.
Really cool that you list the tools for the episode. I have a question about that. Do you like the lift that you have or would you prefer one with legs. I will be in the market soon and can't decide which I would prefer. The one you have looks easiest to use.
Both have their advantages. The 2 post gives a lot more access especially around the wheels. The 4 post is better if you also plan to "store" or temporarily store a car. Also I have never seen a car fall off of a 4 post...can't say the same about a 2 post

You're at 41 hours on the board. Does that include everything from when you got it in the garage and on the lift? It is very tiring, yet satisfying to see your progress, I imagine it is the same for you. Thank you for sharing all of this with the world!

I really can’t even comprehend being able to keep all of the screws and bolts and where they go set aside in a way that would allow me to put it back together. I replaced the screen in my phone once on my iPhone 4s and I stressed hard about where the screws came from and that was like 20 max.
Hi, sorry if I missed it, but are you planning on having a trunk or a frunk from the space you got by removing all the combustion related parts? I'm curious to see where you get this car up to. Thank you for sharing!
Keep up the great work, can't wait for more videos. I wish I could afford an EV right now, it's just the initial cost. It's a shame because I'm paying a lot for my SUV (Subaru Ascent $685/mo), that's similar to the price of an EV. The problem is, the only 6-7 seater I'm interested in is the Model X. That's almost a 6 figure EV base price. I'm not against used, but the prices don't really move. I'm interested in EV conversions. I'm really hoping that a market get's created that has full setups and a centralized computer to allow a more OE feel. Again, keep up the great work.
Maybe you've thought about this before but why not stream your work on twitch too? Might as well since you're filming anyway. We would love to watch you struggle live.
@@ElectricSuperCar At least you'll have some more interaction and who knows someone might have some advice of certain bolts while you're struggling. Personally I prefer if they didn't say anything though 😉

@@ElectricSuperCar awesome, thanks for sharing this. I'm loving the more frequent video uploads. 👍🏻 I still have you finishing this before the actual ev cayman from Porsche hits the road sometime in 2025. 😎
No need for the clutch pedal, and I'm guessing that the steering column was out for the Front Drive unit install.. though there was no real need for that. Steering wheel removal would definitely make the removal of that brake booster clip much easier! (it's the notorious type used on all modern VWs) Rack is already electric, so no need for any electric steering conversion.
I know it's real easy hindsight being 20/20 for me to complain after the fact. But that's steering wheel was in your way for half that work in the interior. Yet you still left it on only removing it towards the end saving you a bunch of trouble

Can you not get access to a Factory Service Manual? That would tell you exactly how to disassemble everything with as few detours as possible.
Would be easier...but where is the fun and I wouldn't have as much to swear about 🤪

I will likely need to use something different as the CAN messages sent from the motor will not be there any more
You are the only one I know who pronounce Porsche correctly (As it is pronounced in german which sounds more like : "Porschae")
Nice!
I think recording the entire disassembly makes it much easier to figure out you to put it all back together 😂
You got it!
Honestly knowing myself I would have cut the petrol tank in half.
