Over the last few months, we’ve been restoring this £5000 Porsche 911 to its former glory. We pulled it out of a scrapyard where it had been left because of some nasty vandalism, got it running for cheap, made it road-legal again, modified it, and then took it on a 1000-mile journey across Europe. Today, we’re in full preparation mode to take this car up against AutoAlex’s V6 MX-5 on track, but first up, we need to find out how much power this little old 911 is making.

Seatbelt segment was a load of bull. If you don't know, just don't say anything.
Car Vertical is shit
OMG youtubers that actually did a dyno before mods and checked the weight before changes. Unheard of! Stuff of legends.
They also did a splendid and very appreciated total breakdown of what would have really been the end cost of their project, including actual pricing of the freebies that youtubers usually get, which is literally unseen so far. This channel will be going places!
you're watching the wrong channels mate, that's pretty much standard
@@StanleyKubick1maybe some sarcasm there 😂
aZzZzaAzxzzx so we all ff GG@@StanleyKubick1
@@StanleyKubick1 Any recommendations?
I love how carthrottle getting taken over by a knob resulted in us getting 3 new channels pumping out better stuff
What are the other two channels?
@@khawajadotd Autoalex Cars (and Autoalex V2) and All The Gear
@@khawajadotdAutoalex and All the Gear
@@ishanmakkar5751it's this one, AutoAlex (AutoAlex V2), TDC and All The Gear (which is the channel of Jack and Ethan)
@danny facts!!!!
Really liked the total cost breakdown! Really we need more of that. The freebies are okay but I always like to know how much stuff would run me as a normal guy.
Keep doing what you're doing please :)
it's the literal youtube standard for cost breakdowns.
@@StanleyKubick1I’ve never seen this on any other channel
@@Juanguar Yeah, same. It's new to me and I watch a lot of youtube.
@@Juanguar Mat Armstrong does cost breakdowns on his builds
@@tomcanningmusic4923 Well yeah, but Mat's entire channel is based on how cheap he can fix exotic cars..
The cost breakdown at the end was EVERYTHING. More channels need to do stuff like that, puts building a car into perspective for those who haven’t done it before. Also Edwin, nice arse crack
looking at the heavier soot on the passenger side, you may have some early bore scoring on the driver side cylinders. Pull the spark plugs and oil pan, then use a borescope to check the cylinder walls, ESPECIALLY #4 and #6. If there's scoring, take it to Hartech and they'll make it better.
This comment needs to be higher..
Less common on the 3.4
@@MrCaterhamr500 less common doesn't mean never happens. Ferrostan piston coatings wear at a lower rate than the grafal on '02+, but still wear (especially if poorly maintained). That soot on the left side is an early indicator of bore scoring and no one is hurt by checking the cylinders.
@@jobytapia6388 I can’t remember typing ‘never happens’ !?
@@jobytapia6388I like how he said "less common" and then you somehow disagreed by just explaining what less common means
Bearing in mind that quite a few of those parts and mods were preferential, and not mandatory to pass an MOT, you totally have got this "back on the road" for double it's price. Winner.
Lads, you might have air in the cooling system, next to the blue cap on the coolant tank, should be another back looking cap, with a lever on it, when cold, remove the blue cap, and lift and lock up the lever on the black cap, should hear some air gurgle away. Its the bleeder valve on the expansion tank. Hope this helps and might help with the over heating issue
You'd hope between all the guys at the performance shop who looked at it, one would know to look around for a bleeder as they're quite common on cars over the last 30yrs
I’ve never heard of that, I’ve heard of the only way to solve air in a system like this is either vaccum fill it or hope it can burp itself with the cap open
@@malice6081 I usually Vac filled the water cooled Porsches, but they do have the bleed valve there too
you're wanting to beat Phil? Just wait for the rust to do the job
😂😂
Emotional damage bro
Rust is lighter than carbon mate, Phil is getting faster by the day
It'll be nice when they move on and stop involving the least interesting car on UA-cam.
Loving this series, please let TDC be the proper car-build nerd side of the Auto Alex Universe..
Yes please 🙏🙏 I want to see actual work done, not leaving the cars to some pro restoration shop and returning in mint condition. I wanna see the real struggle of working on used cars.
If these were an hour long, I'd have no complaints. Easy watch.
Just in time for dinner lads🤴

You lads are doing the right thing sticking with a project and seeing it through. Please don't start buying projects and not finishing them. We don't need another car buying channel like Alex.
You guys are just so much better than the other car channels out there right now. The cost breakdown was such a great idea! Also, I loved that you kept in the wrap part, even though you ended up not using it. Your whole channel feels real and relatable.
12:46 such an underrated joke
Rich is one of those secretly world class pro's that doesn't look it at first and just wings everything, and it end up being perfect.
The best bit about that new exhaust is that it makes a lot more 'flat-six' noises and I think it might even sound better than it did without the muffler. Too many after-market exhausts are just generic loudness and noise, so for Rich to wing it and make something that makes it genuinely sound better is a great advert for his skill.
I mean, Rich is a legend. Everything in his workshop looks beaten to death, but you can't say his work isn't top notch.
5:58 bro wot this is the last thing I expected to find in a TDC video ☠☠
🤣 dog pornography 💀
Top Dog Content
@@R03333 💀💀💀💀
the funniest part was they were *taking turns* , which implies both dogs are males 💀
@@ASEM-1123 yeah ☠☠
Boys, been following this since Ep1!! The fact that you brought this car back on to the road, and made it road legal, is mental. Lowkey inspirational.
What a pleasure to fit your windscreen ❤
OK, controversial but, I think the 911 is TOO low, I think she would look better maybe 10-15mm higher ? and she'd probably handle better with the use she is getting . Loving the channel chaps, keep it up :)
Higher but with spacers or different wheels to fill the arches. They sit inside too much at the moment I think.
Oh thank god, I've been sat refreshing my subscriptions page
Lolz, me too!
12:20 the most factual statement ever
9:07 there is nothing better, then getting ur tip polished :)
Thanks for the cost brake down lads. Always good for us 'normals' to see the true price of something without the youtube discount. Could prevent people from getting into serious debt because they think it is achievable to own a Porsche for a dime.
Would also like to see an and of year (if it makes it that far) total costs. So including taxes, petrol (and miles driven) and least of all insurance.
Loving the new content, this feels like new Top Gear, but with the old format.
No it doesn't
@02:35 the colour of that ST! With the seats! ❤
I actually cranked up the resolution to 1440p and took a screenshot of that before running to my girlfriend and also showing it to her. What a magnificent colour!
Hey dudes, with the roof, try getting some really fine wet and dry paper and sanding a very fine layer of lacquer off, then use an orbital buffer to cut and polish it to look like new :) I did this with my bonnet and looks amazing now. Think I used 2000grit, then 3000, then 4000 to finish, then used maguers cutting compound to buff it. (Sorry for some of the spellings, car products were never named for the simple man)
Quickly becoming my favourite UA-cam channel! 👏
that ghetto electric window fix is relatable as hell. Love it, please don't cut that kind of thing out, it makes us comoners feel better about our sometimes shabby repairs
You guys have become my favorite channel on UA-cam in record time. Thanks lads!
It’s always amazing to see a craftsman at work.
Rubber liner in the fronk will be nooiice. Also that water temp gauge is kiiinda a must boys haha..
Honestly this is the best car content with fun bits, you can see how independent creators can make good content.
That exhaust is fire . Talented guy
I really liked the price breakdown. Stay honest. Keep it all in perspective. This whole project was really well done.
5:25 the honesty
I think this is my favourite channel now. You two lads are brilliant and have a perfect balance of funny and informative. Big up TDC
The exhaust lad is a character😂😂
12:12 Edwin channelling his inner Drake…
I couldn't see any 14 year olds close by though?
The 996 is around 14 years old @@oliverrugg3732
I love a lot of things about this channel. Before weight and HP numbers, real cost breakdown and, things actually get finished rather then forgotten. Stop doing such things, or this will become my favourite UA-cam channel.
This might actually be my favourite yt channel at the moment, good job guys. Loving the build + entertainment, what more could you want.
Rich is hilarious. More of him please!
Smashed it well done lads, videos are getting more genuine and it's nice to see you guys clicking together and creating fantastic content.
Myself, along with other subscribers, are clearly appreciating the thorough videos, showing full costs, and before & after figures and facts. Keep the quality up gents, the content is smashing it👍🏻
19:21 "why are we weighing this car on a George Foreman grill" 😂😂
The fabrication in that exhaust is great hats off to rich, Legend
You’ve just went to the top of my favourite UA-cam channels! A channel which actually shows the value of everything, including freebies. No Pratt Armstrong BS
This channel is quicky becoming one of my favourable channels
I like how honest you guys are about the total price and trying to wrap it yourselves. Better than most channels about... I also have a cheap sports car from a salvage auction, and want to track it more so this is the kick up the ass I needed!
that was very nice exhaust fabrication.. well done
love the vids guys, you are pumping out super enjoyable content!. straight to the point, honest, funny. 20 minutes flys past like its 5.
Loving your content, amazing series !
oh man I love this channel , you guys are so great together
That’s my cousin! Hi Rich!
Great work guys, keep doing this it's awesome. Another like for the proper transparency in the cost breakdown at the end - breath of fresh air that.
Loving this series, just need the Merch now!
Really great work guys! loved this series!
Just when I opened UA-cam I instantly thought of you guys and here you are! Love your videos, cheers! 🍻
Loving the content guy's! The cost breakdowns just makes things a bit more honest to viewers, keep up the good work lad's
Great video. Really enjoyed the accuracy of dyno, weighing it, costs etc
The pringle under the carpet 💀
In love with every single video. Keep pushing guyz 💪🏽🔥
Really enjoying watch you guys and the Alex and co
My girlfriend bought her mk1 MX5 from that fabrication shop a few months ago!! I thought I recognised it when I saw it 😆
Always good to see Rich 💪🏻
Loved the cost breakdown! It's good to have some transparency on this sorta stuff, and I think this was also the perfect time to address it. Appreciate it!
Great Customer Service...? or Viewer Service? What I mean is, that you guys read through comments and answer them and go through things thoroughly. Love it!
Really appreciate the honesty in your fixes and costs.
I think you guys have cemented yourselves as my favourite car channel (behind garbage time, sorry). Constantly working on stuff and not just buying cars and driving places
1 of your American viewers here, loving the content boys. Keep it up!
Easily my favourite channel right now!
Class videos. Really onto something. The big picture is in the little details.
I really, really enjoy your content guys! Keep up the great work!
That fabricator guy is ‘friendly’ , uphill battle trying to get conversation out of him 😂
Thanks for the price breakdown, it is really good to see the final price if I was to do the same.
Great video as usual, you guys are quickly finding a flow, and it's really enjoyable viewing. Congratulations on the channel.
Fantastic job! Amazing start to TDC, A car to remember!
have to give it to rich, that was some really nice work
You guys are smashing it! 👏 so happy to see you all away from ct. Its working as well as I'd hoped 🙏 🎉
Love this series so much
Binge the build this am. Excellent work gentleman. Impressive work
Great upgrades. The black parts looks great with the white and help highlight the Purple
Love the vids, projcets and collabs guys! The cost transparency is great! I dont even know the cost of my own projects as detailed as this...
Great video as always guys, really enjoying the content
I’m so with you on the rear wiper thing!!!
Wow that muffler was ART. this dude is amazing!
I have to say that your guises channel along with auto Alex are becoming my favourite car UA-cam channels. As much as it pains me to say even starting to surpass my old 16 year and running UA-cam channel from Australia.
That exhaust looks sick
love richs honest view on the car 🤣🤣
Content has been brilliant lads , the real price breakdown was great to see
Pull off the front bumper and clean the radiators. 👍🏻
The best part of Monday nights now is watching the latest TDC video, cheers lads 😁
The price breakdown was super cool. Also Will on a 911 bonnet was hilarious
Yay - good, structured progress.
Double yay - transparency in prices and costs.
Rocking it real good gents.
Phenomenal content, boys!
I'm loving how much you interact with the comments!
The paint on the roof could be sorted with 1,500 grit wet sand paper, 2,000grit, 3,000 grit, 8,000 grit 3m trizact disc and compound and machine polish, also autoglym sell a product called reflow its a pouch that heats up to reform the laquear that might sort it out before any sanded needed too 😁
Rich. Master of fabrication. Driest guy on the planet. 👍🏻
Rich is a wizard, that sounds epic
Loving this series chaps! That exhaust sounds amazing too :)
