Bought a 996 this weekend because of you so if anything goes sideways it’s your fault.
Good luck.....your in big trouble.....😅
Good luck. Hope you don’t have any past-due dental work, back child support or HOA dues. Porches have a habit of taking over your wallet and personality.
wait until you start seeing the part costs..lol
It’s a 996, what could possibly go wrong??? 😊
It’s a 996, what could possibly go wrong??? 😊
This has been my absolute favorite UA-cam content.
Kind words!!
For next time: If you have a steam wand/cleaner, use that to remove the tint. It makes even the most crusty tint peel without any adhesive left behind.
All car lovers love the Porsche 911 and your channel is growing. Congratulations on completing this car. I hope your next project is a Porsche.✌🏻👍🏻
I'm hoping for an e34 BMW! ;)
I’m hoping he sticks to these two cars for a bit. Upgrading turbos, tuning it, and really dialing them, maybe one can be track and the other daily?
One of them will be getting power upgrades for sure! The other will be leaving ....
The license plate was hysterical. Every part you installed was a struggle. I've been there, my car fights me every time. Got to go work on it when I get home today, it'll be a fight I'm sure.
They always fight back lol
Not gonna lie I didn’t like the gray at first but seeing it all together it’s looks amazing good job!
OMG, HOOD STRUTS!!! HOOD STRUTS!!!! YES, LETS GO!!
Finally!!
Making mistakes is easy, owning up to it is the hard part. You keep it real, Respect Matt! amazing content!
Appreciate it!
The side skirts look great and that turtle wax black finish is a very good inexpensive fix that looks and works good. You will have to re-coat them in about a year depending on weather and usage.
I've had really good luck with the turtle wax trim dye. I found rubbing alcohol works well to prepare the tri before the application.
Please Matt….throw some gold BBS LM wheels on that bad boy. It would look so minty 👌
I can't wait for the build breakdown, buying a wrecked one and restoring it I'm pretty sure is my only hope in justifying a Porsche purchase to the wife 😆
Get a 987.2 or 981 Cayman S or Boxster S. Great motors withough the IMS or bore scoring.
Getting so close to being done. It looks amazing!!
I’ve really enjoyed your journey putting these 2 Porsches together.
the ability to make fun of one's self is what I am best at, I feel for you buddy!
Congratulations on the car and the series, it's been really fun to watch so far
Love the 997 series. For any black exterior trim try SEM Black Trim paint. Those restorers don’t last.
Looking so good. Very excited to see the final product and that first drive. That being said... Maybeeeee spray paint those black washers with Japanese writing on them?
The car looks so good and it looks so clean with the tint gone
That rear plate LOL, happens to all of us. You get so fixated on getting that task done you don't see the glaring obvious
Always happens lol
Just prior to this series starting i let go my 2005 911 997 to a friend, due to lack of opportunity to drive it., who has done a lot of upgrades and its getting driven again. These cars are amazing and deserve to be put back on the road at every opportunity. This has been a great project and you deserve accolades for the excellent job you have done.
19:58 🤣but in the next clip you still had the broom stick in your hand, D'oh!
Stupid editor!! It's me I'm him lol
Much respect from Gordons Bay, South Africa
So close to the finish line now Matt.
Fantastic content.
Thanks for sharing.
Loved it all.
Seriously great job Matt bring this Porsche back to life. It just looks great 👍🏻
Was looking forward to this next episode! You are flying through this Matt!
This car is coming out amazing! Keep up the great work Matt 💪🏼
Thanks! Will do!
Have loved this series, please get another Porsche
Great work!! stoked to se more progress
Man you making me wish i live in us i would have went now bought a porsche like that and restore it , i loved this series bro keep on going❤
Still kickin ass Matt
the license plate debacle is so relatable
Love it. Also love the wheels you have on it, those are some of my favorite porsche wheels. If you want to go aftermarket, maybe some RUF wheels?
Hood strut javelin toss with the cat noise was a good touch. Really made my evening lol
I'm glad to hear it! Lol
Looking good! Keep it up. Macan wheel and head unit.
Steam is the answer to tint and really all adhesive work. A cheap steamer will get you much further than a heat gun... although it is never fun
The side skirts look good with the dye but I have used LITHIUM AUTO CARE Trim Serum - Trim Restorer and it works great. It was designed to bring the oil back to the top without needing dye.
Ok that was funny those first 10 mins lol 🎉keep it going!
Cannot wait for this thing to be finally finished!
Awesome that you salvaged the side skirts. Good cost savings on a piece you really don’t notice
What an amazing job! Looks absolutely stunning. Great job my friend.
I like how you reused the side trims with the turtle wax product. Well done, turned out nice
Wow the car is looking amazing well done Matt.
Russell 🇬🇧
"My rivets pull out but I don't...." - oh that is GOLD!! Hah!!!
First one to notice!!! Ahahaha
Side skirts are beautiful bro
Hello Matt. I missed a few videos because I was Overseas with the Military, and we all know what's happening with that, lol. Anyway, Matt, you are ploughing on with the fantastic work. The license plate was so funny, time-lapse, lol 😅. Brilliant video again, Matt. 💯👏👏 🇮🇪
Thanks so much!
The joy of seeing those hood struts get installed 🙂
Yup lol
Just wanted to give a big shout out to the yellow jack for helping out with all the heavy lifting when Matt needed an extra hand. I can't believe I watched both cars get built in such a short time and now they look mint. Matt, thank you for giving me something to look forward to every week. From one car guy to another keep up the awesome work, really enjoy watching your progress.
Thanks for the kind words! The yellow Jack has been mint lol
Great progress in this video! Excited for the next one
Man she is looking beautiful!
The wheels that were on the car before it was painted would look nice on it now in gold (in my opinion)
Love the build. Paint looks amazing with the terracotta interior 👌🏻
I think you're right!
Great work Matt.The 997 looks epic. Hope you keep the stock wheels.Cheers 👍
Awesome Matt. I like the fact that you show the mistakes too, it makes it real. Becoming one of my favourite channels! I’m very excited for you to have this car complete. You worked really hard on it. 👍🏻
Thank you! I try and keep it real
The car is looking really good!
Great job Matt. So close bro
Sideskirts are fine as-is. They're going to get beat up anyway, so no point installing expensive carbon fiber ones.
The 997 is coming along! Love the chalk white and red tails combo from the back. Can't wait to see what wheels you go with!
Greyyyy!!!!
almost done matt, we see the end ;)
Matt, whatever successes you incur with this channel are well deserved. Great content. I respect your work immensly more than the channels that "make it big" and stray from their roots. Please stay as the guy in his garage rebuilding sweet cars.
And if you haven't scrapped yet, get that POS M3 road worthy again 🙂
Thanks so much! I don't plan on changing other than a bigger garage!
M3 is being painted now
Wing and Rims. Waiting!!!!
What about changing interior color for other?You could tint seats,trims etc with Imolarot red for example.
Nooo I love the terracotta!
Great videos man, keep it up!
Love your honesty and ability to make fun of yourself! The car is looking awesome!
Mini Split in the garage !! I did it, game changer for sure
Actually my garage stays about the same temp as the house.
You're vids are a real motivation for me to continue work on my car. Thx
You can do it!
Car is looking good. You are doing a great job.
Keep up the great content Matt!
New tattoo Matt? Car is looking good brother. Those side skirts take a beating, but painted and PPFd they visually lower the car.
I got it a few months ago.
The car is looking great! One thing... don't leave the jump pack in your trunk if your 996 has the electronic trunk pop like mine. If your battery is dead, you won't be able to easily get to the jump pack. Ask me how I know this....
Hrm. Where's a good storage location?
Amazing WORK ❤️ 👍🏼
The 997 looks great your work ethic is impressive please don’t do anything weird with the wheels 🛞 like your truck 😂
I'm putting my truck wheels on the Porsche lol
I really, really look forward to your videos. Well done on everything you have done thus far and here's to more great content in the future. Thank you for doing what you do! From Australia.
Great work!!!
Look at getting 997 gt2 side skirts and paint to match body colour. One of my first mods and still favorite
Great work Matt
love this build matt!
Well done Matt and congratulations on the channel...excellent work!
Man it looks so good
great work matt. Love this build
Thanks!
You are my favorite car UA-camr to watch (always jump straight to your new video when I hop on YoutTube)! Just graduated from University in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I definitely will be using my newfound adult income to buy some broken Porsches and follow in your footsteps haha
Thank you so much!!
Your editing game is fkn on point man!!!
I try hard to make sure of that lol
I've said this before, but your editing is terrific. It's the editing that turns good YT into great YT.
Thanks so much! I pride myself in that.
I use a steamer to clean plastic.🇨🇦
keep up the great work!!
You ever consider the melt trick for the side skirts ? Take a torch to them and quickly pass over them with the flame it brings up a lower level of the plastic and rehydrates it to make it shiny again
Ahh that's a good idea!
Looks killer dude!
Looks great, stoked for the final reveal 😎 ( and maybe wheels?? 🤔)
Wheel yes
Clean build 👌🔥
awesome matt
Looking great!
Can’t wait to see what the Markski tune does to wake up this amazing car
Where did you source the body screws you referred to in the video?
Here you go amzn.to/45CuXkk
Cars looking great
great work matt
The 997 is looking absolutely beautiful! What a build! I’ve been hooked on this since the beginning. Only wish I could have one! 😊👍
Find a project 997!
@@matt13ross project cars are pretty rare in the UK, I’ll get one eventually though!😊👍
Really liking the attention to detail and oem plus finish . Love from the UK

Hey Mat, love the vid. I painted my side skirts same as the body… wicked
