1968 Porsche 912 Survivor // These are the fun jobs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2023
- New tires, a brake bleed (wasn't that fun), getting a key cut, swapping the grille out for a nicer look. Once you've tackled replaced basically everything mechanical, the small jobs like these feel pretty special. They feel light, and easy..because they are. When you're knee deep pulling new tunnel lines through the car, or even just cleaning all the incredibly old suspension parts..it feels like it's never going to end. I started with a small list. The list grew. Then the list grew a lot more. Then my head hurt. Then my wallet hurt. Then I got over it all pressed on, wrestling one task at a time. Sometimes pin balling between tasks since ordering and waiting on parts seems to be more of a battle than turning a wrench.
This. Is. All. Good.
I love that I got to do this, and I love that its mostly done. Continuing to envision my first drive in the car. I've been lucky enough to own air-cooled porsches and these cars are just so good. For some reason, this little 912 makes me want to have endless adventures unlike any car I've owned. Time will tell if this proves to be true once I have the engine in it. A porsche 912 may not be a 911, but thats good. It isn't one, its a different thing that has always been hamstrung because its not a 911. I like that.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. I'm sure I'll always make videos, because I love this. I'll stop doing weekly videos when it doesn't make sense anymore. Hopefully I'll be able to do this for a long time.
Very good video Michael, it was real. No hype or monotone rambling, you do a good job at this and I think you should continue (as time permits!). I have a Schwaben power bleeder that work very well, not sure what king you have. I recently bought a Schwaben vacuum coolant filler and that was 'da bomb brother! I just finished up all the running gear on my 01 Carrera, every control are, inner and outer tie rod, sway bar bushings and links, coolant purge and refresh, oil/filter change and am ready to fit back the bottom panels and remount the wheels tomorrow! Yes! When I want to chill out in the house your channel is one of my picks, thanks again for doing this brother! The 912 will be back on the road soon!
Appreciate it Scott! Thanks for the continued support! Great work on your project! Go drive!
Now that's good old fashion stuck. I feel your pain because I had to walk 5 miles in the summer between Phoenix and Tucson wearing new leather sandals which caused horseshoe shaped blisters on heels and since it was in the 80's I had to stay over on a Sunday to hit the ATM to get cash for a tow for my convertible. I was lucky someone stopped to give me a ride that mile or so of course he had the AC cranked. I thought I was going to freeze to death, that sounds funny right. Well you get used to the heat especially with a convertible. Old cars are fun and can be an adventure as well, sounds like you're enjoying yours. Sean ps I was watching at home so a different email. Congrats on the new baby!!!
Man, I love the 912 project and I really love this channel, the content you put out is very refreshing and I hope it grows and becomes a worthwhile endeavor.
Thanks man. I’m definitely not going to give up easily. If it doesn’t start really taking off I’ll have to scale back and maybe just do a video every month or so. Thanks for all the support over the past year Hulley 🤝
How cool that the key works in the ignition ( Huge) , using a power bleeder can be a problem mainly because of the point that you attach it to the brake master reservoir ( as you probably already know) that seal is very specific that why I have 3 different types but about 1/2 of the time I will find a helper/ foot to pump. One last thing be careful when the motor is out that you’re electrical connections to the engine are sitting bare and exposed to possible problems such as direct contact with positive to negative causing other issues. Now go take care of your wife and baby boy. Thanks again for the videos.
Most definitely! I taped off all the engine wiring when I pulled the engine. Helper for the brakes if my go to from here on out haha. Appreciate the comment! Thank you sir
@@michaelgideon6422 cool , have a great day and take care, my 29 year old son is coming over for Tri Tip cooked over red oak because that’s how we do it here (Santa Maria style) if you’re ever up here and you’re a steak lover check out Jocko’s steak house in Nipomo. 🥩🥩🥩
@@johnrpizzaguy likewise! Sounds awesome. Yea I’m not far from there so I’ll make sure to try that steak house when I’m in Nipomo
Great vid, dont scare the baby "with or without the beard"...🤣
Thanks! Haha he’s the one scaring us 😴😅
Can't wait to see that thing going!!
Thanks dude! Get that old hot rod going strong and we’ll go camping or something
please excuse the spelling, I can't type as fast/well as I think!
NO, NO, NO Don't even consider giving up this channel. You and the 912 are the best.
Ahh too kind. Thanks Richard!
Extremely cool to have the 80’s Carrera, 72E, and 60s 912. Which to drive on a given day? Depends on which roads and your mood I guess. That’s quite a luxury…I hope you get to keep them all for a while.
Yea such a luxury I’m still surprised that I have. Hopefully I never have to sell anything but life changes so we’ll see. Thank you for the comment
Always interesting content! Don’t pressure yourself, post when you can we’re not going anywhere.
Appreciate that very much
Excited for you to get this done and drive it for the 1st time.
I’m dreaming of it all the time. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 👋🤝👊🏻
Ok man, you love porsches, you seem to ride bikes and are in SoCal/OC, possibly close to me in Aliso Viejo, and you seem to be a dad like me as well. We have a lot in common. If you're ever up for grabbing a coffee sometime let me know would love to share the passions chat porsche and such with a new friend! No pressure.
Can’t wait to see the end result of your work down the road. You seem like a cool California guy and are interesting to follow along. I hope you continue sharing your experiences with your vehicles and where you live. Looking forward to the results.
Thank you! I’ll continue sharing experiences for sure. I just may need to dial back how often I post, we’ll see. Cheers
This Porsche 912 remember my English teacher has a green one that was in years 1976 I want to see runs
Brother 👍 took a knee and moved too a new BRONCO…….. hummer H3T broken and S2K diff is crackling 😮

Those look like great vehicles! Plenty of cool cars to experience. Your 911 will come in time
Nope you can’t stop now. Gotta upload 3 videos a week
Turn the radio on the feed for the aeriel usually runs off that
I’m sorry, what?
@@michaelgideon6422 The radio being turned on is what raises the antenna, turn the radio off and the antenna lowers.
@@Hulley29 ahh idk how to turn the thing on haha I’ll twist some knobs next time
Hello, I am new to this whole thing. Is there anyway I can contact you via email? I have the identical car , same color and all. A 23 year old friend of mine worked at the restoration shop in Nebraska where this car came from. We flew in from Michigan on the 5th. of May and drove it home on Saturday the 6th. I am 74 with a bad left knee, ( I just love Porsches but it makes no sense to get a stick right now) I handed him the keys and said you drive home. He spent over 200 hours on this car so he earned it. Anyway there are phots I would like to share with you , etc.
Sure. ryangideon911@gmail.com
I’ve got way over 1,000 hours into this car. Pretty cool if it’s the identical car I want to hear more. 👍
