I finished my Porsche 912 restoration (43 years off the road)

- 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.
They won't restore themselves! It was a great moment, no doubt
I love the “ Smiling “ that was cool. Beautiful ride. Happy for you and the car. Match made in heaven.
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.
Thanks Dean! I'll post an update within a week or so. Appreciate you following the journey man
@michaelgideon6422 of course man I've been enjoying you documenting the journey.
I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
So sick!!
Well done for getting it over the line fella.
Thanks Russell!
I have the same car.. has left me on the side of the road a few times.. Great fun and tears.. love the videos
Old cars have their ups and downs. Nice car mate! Thnx
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.
Car's running, got content, and a cliff hanger...doesn't get any better than that! I'm happy for you.
Thank you Rich! It was a fun adventure..although that night sucked haha
Rolling beats sitting - nice work!
Happy to see a new YT video instead of just insta :) P.S. not sure if you heard the news about Deus... they opened a new location near us on PCH in newport and are opening a 2nd location in LA with resturant (like the Deus Lodge in UK). Still down for a coffee if you ever are lmk.
Thanks AJ! I did hear that. I live pretty far, but one of these days I'm sure we'll run into each other. Cheers man
It was awesome watching this video! Congrats on a great job you did on the engine
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations!!!!
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in!
Very excited with these type of these video. Love the rebuild and almost is a love for Porsche
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
Thank you! Spousal support is key! Appreciate the support man
Great work
Thank you!
Great video cousin! 🫶🏼

Thanks!
Glad to see it together. Inspiring me to get back into the garage and continue on my 944. Thanks!
Thanks Jim! Get in there and chip away! Cheers
I was so happy excited for you when it started!! Clapping and waving my hands in the air! I hope you figure out why you lost power………..

Thanks Alex! totally worth it
Man, I love this car, stoked that you at least got it running even though she quit on you, I have no doubt it's something small. I can't wait for the next vid!

Thanks!
Michael thank you for the video! Awesome project!
My pleasure! No reason to post if you guys didn't watch. Thank you!
@@michaelgideon6422 I watched the video! :)
It's taken me 5 years to get my 66 912 on the road , so I feel your pain , but a bit more effort and will be sweet , mine took so long because I now make over 140 items for the early models . Wish mine was og paint . Looks ace 👌
Thanks man! Hope to see your 66 on the road sometime
@@michaelgideon6422 same here , hope yours is an easy fix .
lol the cut in the end 😂
haha we have an IG cheater here..lol hope you're good dude
Love a good car adventure!
It's part of the charm of an old car!
Nice! SWB 912’s are cool. Probably a small issue like a ground that came loose. Next step paint correction on the single stage paint?
I'll drive it for a while and enjoy it while deciding if I'll mess with the paint. I may never mess with it.
Good to see you going again~ish
This is all part of the process to healing as they say.
Part of the process for sure
Looking Good!
Thanks Chris!
Wooo! Congratulations. Bummer at the end, but that's just part of the journey, right? Hopefully sorted soon.
Thanks Pickle! It happens, you know how it is. Hope to see your hand painted e30 again soon dude
Great job….almost! 👍
Almost!
Kiiiiiinda stoked for you man...? A step closer anyway.
Hopefully, nothing major and you will be back on the road again soon.
🙏ing to the classic car gods for ya!
haha I feel this comment. It's a roller coaster owning an old car. Thanks for being here for it
Wait…WHAT? I didn’t see that coming! Hope all ended well…
I didn't either! haha I'll post a follow up video soon. Thanks for watching!
i loved my 912 back in the 70s but always fearful it would break down and bankrupt me like it did the previous owner but it never had a problem just rust in front pan to suspension but back then only 400 to fix
Electrical bug. Hope a simple check of fuses and connectors solves it.
Thanks!
Who rebuilt your engine? I need mine rebuilt also.
Alternator issues...
