    Love the 912 vids, the restoration can be both therapeutic and frustrating as well, in the end, it'll be worth it!

      Thanks dude. That’s accurate haha. I enjoy the process a lot. The days I worked on the car for this video was almost completely thoughtless effort for two days lol. I do not love cleaning, but it’s a fun little zone with good music playin. It’s gonna be worth it, thanks for the continued support man 🙏

    I always find the kitchen to be a good resource for plastic tubs, baking trays etc for storing and soaking car parts. You get to upgrade your man cave itinerary and once you have denied all knowledge you also get the bonus of slowly watching the wife thinking she's going nuts. It's a win win dude!
    Great content by the way Michael, i'm amazed your channel hasn't grown more rapidly but i'm sure it will come. Best wishes from the UK.

    I know the feeling! I want my 73 on the road but I don’t want to cut corners! Then I can work on my 53!

      Don't cut corners, just stay on the job! A 53 is a dream for me. I was looking for a 356, but couldn't find one. Found this 912 though

      @@michaelgideon6422 i found my 356 about 10 years ago when google Earths resolution got good enough to recognize what make cars were. I searched Boulder Colorado all night and found it in a back yard. It’s a total basket case but its a 53’.

    Micheal, first off your channel is awesome, nice work. Some of us just have that something for these cars, the sound of that engine and the curves of these machines. Had a question for you. I’ve been interested in mechanics forever but never did anything in terms of getting my hands dirty. What’s the best way to get started ? What skills do you recommend I read up on etc?
