  • I did it. This old Porsche 912 is back on the road after being in a garage for 43 years. This process taught me so much. I'm extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to buy and refresh this old car. A big thank you to my wife for being the amazing woman she is, and supporting me complete a dream like this. Thank you to my great friend Andrew, for letting me do this project in his shop space. Thank you to everyone who's supported me by simply watching and commenting on my videos. I don't have a business, this is just for fun. I'll never forget this experience. Stayed tuned to see what happened in the following months with this old car.
    To anyone who's considering a restoration of an old car, I'd tell you that it's worth it. You'll spend more than you thought. It will take longer than you expect. But you'll come out different. You'll learn a lot, and be glad you did.

    These cars need folks like you to bring them back. The engine starting up must have almost been as got as having a kid. Congrats.

    Not trying to talk smack about your mechanical abilities, but doesn't the engine go in the front?! Dude that's such a huge accomplishment congratulations! Thank you for the update! Hope you get the bugs sorted out soon so you can really enjoy all your work.

    I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

    Man I’m so happy that you got it started- I was a bit concerned when your friend wasn’t standing guard at the engine bay when you cranked it over (the last thing you want is a fuel leak to ruin your day!) . The great thing about these cars is, it’s probably a simple fix.

    Great vid, great journey. Nice to a see this old PCar moving on its own. I enjoy this channel because of the shared experience of bringing back a couple of my own… both of which continue to deliver smiles, tears, cussing and memories only possible with years of tremendous spousal support
