You could have said the same thing 10 years ago & it still would have been a killer deal. Especially for someone clearly capable enough to fix & enjoy it. Nothing ballsy at all.
Great video. I love seeing the little fixes process. Nothing was more rewarding for me than when I replaced the rear hatch/ front hood struts for my IROC Z. They were super cheap too like $10 each.X3 and work incredibly well now, going on 3 years.
Tony's enthusiasm for this car is like a happy little kid ... it's infectious & inspirational! The filming reminds me of home movies with Dad :D It's great.
This is a really cool way to start the channel. If you ever need parts for a german car, I'd recommend fcp euro, I've had good experiences with pelican parts too but I personally prefer fcp and I'd strongly recommend them. Keep up the great work on your channel and I'm excited to see what you do next.
Got to normalize the audio post production, on good surround speakers the wind noise and wine from the tig is much louder than you talking. Though the tig welding sounded like it was in my house.
Good and constructive feedback 👍 There's a lot of noise from the camera being moved / the operator moving their hands too, which would be a solid quality improvement to get rid of somehow.
Hey Tony, if you ever need stuff 3D printed (I have plastic and resin printers), I'm on the other side of King of Prussia from you it sounds like. I'm a mechanical engineer and could occasionally have some free time to design stuff pro-bono to support the channel. Looking forward to see your future projects!
@@StayTunedTA For sure man, I'd recommenced getting a Prusa MK3S as your first printer, kits are $750. it's more expensive than the Ender 3 (usually the recommended budget printer), but it'll save you so much time and headaches from the inevitable troubleshooting you'd have to do.
you owe it to yourself to find a ratty as hell 911 and resurrect it Derek....or stop being so g/d cheap and buy a decent one,you've got the dough so stop pretending you dont,lol...
Welcome to the club! The right way to close the frunk is by pushing down on the crest. If you really wanna be picky the Porsche crest on the center caps needs to point towards the valve stems.
Good to see see you have your own channel now Tony, Two great used parts for Porsche, Autobahn used Porsche parts in San Diego and LA Dismantler they have great prices on 996 parts. I wanna see more 996 videos
I picked up a 04 911-996 Carrera 4 convertible with 32000 miles for dirt cheap! Only had to replace tires and a belt pulley everything else was like new!The best and most fun car I have ever owned and I have had a shit load of cars! Get one soon before all the UA-camrs drive up the price even more! And don’t worry about the IMS bearing issue! It was only a problem with 1% of these cars yet everyone has locked on to that BS!
OK I am a N/A car guy only "Chevy" mainly but you are teaching me that there are other cool modern hot rods out there that even I wouldn't look at one unless I saw this show..Thanks Tony even kids can teach us old guys!
Tony, great video!! I couldn't agree with you more about the 996! I am living through my own "issues" with a 2001 I bought. I recognize the roads you were driving, must be local to me as well!!!
My dude. I'm stoked for this. Want to see you 🚀. Also this is scratching my itch while OG motortrend is on hiatus. You need audio. shotgun mic on the camera or a lav mic. Literally $20 on Amazon, it'll record to your phone. sync it in post and we'll be able to hear you in the car.
So glad you have a channel now! I've been building a pro touring 68 firebird for 3 years now that has a 3 link based off of the one in your cuda. Turbo LS 6 speed manual flavor! Just hoping I did as good a job as you guys did on HR garage. Loving the vids so far man, keep up the hard/good work!!
@@adrianll8289 Mini cooper.... Just ask that wacky pair over at Bad Obsession Motorsports about how expensive a mini can be for just a little freshening up. And a bracket. Or two.
Yo Tony! Grew up and still live in Bucks County. Subscribed as soon as I came across this. I have a 12 second '69 Riviera. Bought a '98 Riviera in August. It was in "pretty good" shape. But there were quite a few "little things" that needed attention. It is basically as new now except for the crappy paint used in America in the 80's and 90's. Like you said, it's the little things that set an old car off. There is basically nothing wrong with it. Love the 3800 Supercharged Buick engine! BTW... fix the driver's mirror motor. LOL I really enjoy all of your shows. Keep up the good work!
Hey - new channel! nice car Tony - had a triple black 99 for a few years. (have a 2000 aerokit car now) Yours looks great on the 997 wheels. The little hardtop mount covers are a ripoff, but will finish it off nicely.
Bro ! U killed on this little black pearl ! It came out so tough! For the record make sure you check all coolant hoses very thoroughly. Tendency to crack all bad! Either way , great content ,kinda the way I do things ,no fear just it!
Funny to see Tony working on a 996! And you're going down the same rabbit hole as the rest of us. You buy it cheap, you fall in love, then you start fixing and improving things. Before you know it, it's not cheap anymore. At least you have some wiggle room with a $5k entry price.
Awesome stuff brother, I must say ( where’s the merch),I’m in Louisiana and have been watching you since you first aired!! You $ Lucky was a great team, almost any kind of knowledge was @ your finger tips 👍. Keep up the good stuff!!!!
Good informative video. I was hoping you were going to show the factory maintenance for lubricating the convertible top. Showing how to and the correct or best lubricants that are available would be awesome. I hope that’s something you could do. Thanks in advance.
That Tesla lady story brought back so many memories. When I had my boxster I was on a date, placing something in the front truck. My date asked me the same question. I told her well the engines in the back. So I opened the rear truck and said "what it should be here! Somebody must have stole my engine". She panicked called her brother that's a police officer, we both had an amazing laugh on the phone 🤣
Best looking? Meh. I like the 993 more. But I don’t fall into the camp of 996 haters. I think they’re amazing cars, glad they aren’t overpriced like the rest of them.
@4:15 I run and hike at Valley Forge Park. We do love our covered bridges in PA!! Lol. Great deal on the Porsche and I’m also dreaming about ownership someday so I’ve been looking at the 996’s too.
Looking great so far. Definitely look into leveling your audio out. Sometimes you're hard to hear, sometimes the car drowns out your talking, and sometimes you have a welder running at 10,000% level, blowingnyour viewers ears out. I look forward to seeing more!
Love it, one of my favorite hosts on motor trend. I started watching road kill on UA-cam when it was free and bought a subscription, but it is nice seeing you and finnegan back on UA-cam making content for everyone to enjoy when episodes aren’t being put out on MT. Thanks tony -kal from MN
Loving the new channel. I’ve watched loads of Hot Rod Garage and love the fun factor and enthusiasm. Lovin this channel even more as it’s started with a 98 996 C2 like mine. I bought mine for £12k and have almost got it to 100%. Amazing cars. Good tyres and a suspension bushing and top mount refresh make a real difference. Looking forward to seeing more work on it. I also fitted a billet aluminium gear shift upgrade kit which makes the shift even firmer.
long time fan , love you got a channel now. some advice as a viewer, dont rush threw so much . gives us a bit more of the meat and potatoes amd trim the fat like example the buddy that was welding the segment onlly needed 10 seconds. all and all great stufff!
I own a 06 Carrera S(997) and we did a LS3 swap in it from Chavis Performance Engineering in MD. They have a plug and play harness for the 996/7 cars along with engine mounts and trans adapters. Its lighter than the stock 996/7 motor and sits 1" further forward for better weight distribution. Im based in NJ and he's in MD I am guessing you are in the PA area. That would be a awesome swap from your car. Throw on a GT2 front and rear bumpers with a ducktail thats a sick vert bro. Congrats on the car looks fun
Great videos...no bull, just direct good info. I have the exact same car...loved Porsche so much I got a 997 also about 3 months later. I'm a fan...can I ask where you got the headlights and how much? Thanks
Great video, great channel! My armchair advice/wishlist: 1) better lighting on what's being worked on. (Maybe it was just the black car!) 2) When shooting a mechanic always keep his hands in frame. Maybe just a little wider shot. This may be limited by the size of the shop.
Great video. Funny this came up. I am nominally a muscle car and 4x4 guy and was looking at Cayman S on line earlier as a potential next car purchase..
I inherited my FIL's '99 C2 project that had been parked for about 10 years. He took it apart to do the IMS bearing and then got sidetracked...a lot, and then died. The family offered the car to me knowing that I was the only chance it had of coming back to life, plus nobody wanted it since it couldn't even be towed away without a fair bit of work. I put in a new IMS, RMS, and AOS and have been driving it for several months, as well as fixing little odds & ends. Reverse was very difficult, and the rest of the shifting was hard. I repaired the sloppy factory shifter and adjusted the cables and she shifts like new again.
Looking good. Mount another gopro to shoot behind you thru the windscreen while driving. Good edit job. Some shakey camera stuff that i bet is worked out in two more videos. Be sure to watch the video back a week after to see what you think.
Tony, Look into Potomac German Auto Parts off Lime Kiln Road in Frederick, MD, a 2.5 hour drive from Philly. I'm a Benz guy but it is my go-to place for used parts. I've bought a full set of 17 inch Benz wheels for $600, pristine, a complete soft top plus mechanism for my '06 CLK 350 ragtop for less than a grand. I therefor was able to replace my top and rear window which was missing all but three of the defogger lines and had problems with the rubber molding for less that two grand when I'd been quoted five grand for the whole thing. We also got a replacement passenger door there for the CLK when a house guest backed into it in our driveway.
I would recommend going with 18" wheels it will make the car much beater. Also coil-overs with a good corner balance 40/60 when doing alignment go with Euro GT3 height and angles. it will transform your ride. Enjoy the ride.
That bridge in Valley Forge is a pain to drive by when there is tons of traffic. Gets annoying. Great video on the car tho! I personally like that body style as a top 3
What a deal, you must be living right. You probably could get those blue inserts for free from a friendly electrician. We used to use them for attaching straps for conduit on brick after hammer drilling a hole and running in a screw. . I’ve also seen them used on drywall. A few cents a piece.
Great stuff! I'd love to know some more driving impressions on the car from your perspective on why its such a great machine you really connect with! more details!
@@StayTunedTA Fantastic! I mean its a 911, what a dream! enjoyed the editing, which is just a ton of work I realize. Since you've driven so much, in racing and motor-trend, looking forward to impressions! What a classy machine, getting groceries in that, makes a man feel special!
Tony, you are a madman! Drift it! Or at least call up Finnegan and get some NOS on that piece! Has anyone done the world's first 8-second 1/4 mile Porsche? ...that'd be dope.
Great Episode! I bought a 95 Bmw M3 with no steering. Owner thought it had a broken column and had it apart. I put it back together and replaced the steering shaft (broken), fixed the cooling system (Bmw E36 always need done). New rims and tires and buff paint, all in $4,000. For a great ride!!!! NO FEAR
I liked this video and I probably build parts of that roof.I worked for a "Firma" that made these for Porsche in Starnberg,Munchen,Germany and I have to tell you.The standerds are extremely high..
Well done video. I really enjoy this type of thing. From a sound aspect, I really appreciate the job done here as Finnegan is sometimes just way too quiet to hear.
Just FYI, the reason your interior mirror switch trim fell off the the plastic location tab on the top that slides down into the door is broken off. Your supposed to slide the top of the trim down then pivot the trim into place on the 3 pins. Unfortunately it will eventually start falling off again without that tab. I hope they didnt replace the latch assembly because the latch was constantly cycling.
Keep up the videos, I am a muscle car guy, but everyone I know that is a "driver" ends up in a 911. Buy "driver" I mean a road course guy. I think they get tired of being beat on the small courses so the try one then they are hooked.
Hey Tony absolutely stoked brother for your channel I just found it but Finnegan is saying tuned up from his channel That's how I found you LOL you gotta give him a call in say stay tuned not tune up Hey brother you know I'm a subscriber can't wait till you hit a million subs peace.
Nice car. that's my dream car. I have a really nice car right now I'm very happy with it. But someday I will own one .👍. Like yours. Nice job on all the repairs.👌 by the way I love those rims.
Ballsy move buying a 911 with a broken gearbox, but it looks like you got a bargain. Loving the channel so far.
Easy swap when you have a lift and $1500 is pretty reasonable.
these cars are shooting up in price .. was a no brainer buy when he got it
You could have said the same thing 10 years ago & it still would have been a killer deal. Especially for someone clearly capable enough to fix & enjoy it. Nothing ballsy at all.

no fancy video tricks, just straight footage of what is really going on. plus 30 minutes of content. love it!
This is a really cool way to start the channel.

Got to normalize the audio post production, on good surround speakers the wind noise and wine from the tig is much louder than you talking. Though the tig welding sounded like it was in my house.
Thanks you for saying this. Haha. Watching it on a television, I’m constantly turning it up then down then up then down.
Good and constructive feedback 👍 There's a lot of noise from the camera being moved / the operator moving their hands too, which would be a solid quality improvement to get rid of somehow.
Audio needs a lot of work
same , it is the ground on the tig ,
Been waiting for content from TA for awhile. The cut & dry these are the facts of how it's done, it's just this easy.

Have always liked the 911 as well, but have settled for several poor man 944s
Would be pretty cool to see a VGG video on some of the European stuff!
I can imagine the hilarity of Derek's commentary as he works on a Poorsha.
Yeah man i'd like to see ya get a hold of a naturally weight reduced Porsche and scooch er down 996.911 miles LOL.
you owe it to yourself to find a ratty as hell 911 and resurrect it Derek....or stop being so g/d cheap and buy a decent one,you've got the dough so stop pretending you dont,lol...
Do you like them because they are only 9.11% reliable?
Always wondered what went on in your garage when passing by. We got some cool bikes and cars when you're ready to do a "meet the neighbors" segment.
Awesome job Tony .. glad you started the channel!!

Very nice! I would jump at that chance! Plan is to sell this thing after a year and move onto the next project but it will be hard!-TA
I liked this video and I probably build parts of that roof.I worked for a "Firma" that made these for Porsche in Starnberg,Munchen,Germany and I have to tell you.The standerds are extremely high..
enjoying the channel so far keep up the good work hey from southern California.>>> God BLESS
Well done video. I really enjoy this type of thing. From a sound aspect, I really appreciate the job done here as Finnegan is sometimes just way too quiet to hear.
Its always fun to see you fabricate stuff. See you next time.
Those are my absolute favourite Porsche alloys... love them
Just FYI, the reason your interior mirror switch trim fell off the the plastic location tab on the top that slides down into the door is broken off. Your supposed to slide the top of the trim down then pivot the trim into place on the 3 pins. Unfortunately it will eventually start falling off again without that tab.
I hope they didnt replace the latch assembly because the latch was constantly cycling.
Keep up the videos, I am a muscle car guy, but everyone I know that is a "driver" ends up in a 911. Buy "driver" I mean a road course guy. I think they get tired of being beat on the small courses so the try one then they are hooked.
Zip ties and bubble gum she will be as good as new! I love the Tony attitude! Keep the original content rolling guys!
I'm glad you are going to work on more than just Mopar stuff.
I love those faulkin tires..
Hey Tony absolutely stoked brother for your channel I just found it but Finnegan is saying tuned up from his channel That's how I found you LOL you gotta give him a call in say stay tuned not tune up Hey brother you know I'm a subscriber can't wait till you hit a million subs peace.
Awesome ingenuity !! on that top!
BTW, mine is a Basalt Black on Black Leather.. Absolutely Gorgeous Cabriolet.. Love that top down in the South.. Fun in the Sun in Georgia!!
So happy you made a channel. Can't wait to see what comes next.
My favorite part is when you put your buddy to sleep with your story. 😂😂
Nice simple episode. It is the little things that count! Car looks great, and sounds pretty good, maybe just needs a little aftermarket exhaust?
That's the plan! Next episode, Hooker actually makes headers and exhaust now, and it looks killer. Stay Tuned! -TA
@@StayTunedTA awesome!
Man tony, what’s up with the twinpala? I know you have it there in philly.
Nice car. that's my dream car. I have a really nice car right now I'm very happy with it. But someday I will own one .👍. Like yours. Nice job on all the repairs.👌 by the way I love those rims.
OMGooness, the 996 is actually my favorite 911! Good stuff Tony :)
I went from “these cars are lame, but I can afford one” to “this is the greatest triumph of human engineering” in like 3 weeks!
