    Looking forward to your upcoming projects. I much appreciate your low-key, no BS approach to restoration at home. I’ve learned a lot from you., and was so disappointed when you had to go back to your “real” job.

    I have missed little Walter, I hope he is well. Great new car can't wait to see more of it. I am an old guy, a couple of years ago I sold my all original 96 Bronco with standard shift because it was sitting more than I was driving it. I ended up with an old XJS Jaguar convertible that I love dearly. It fits my old guy lifestyle.

    Hey, great to see another video.
    The truck turned out well and I like the reason to sell it.
    Well done.
    I also hope Walter is well, and Woof to him.
    Thanks.

    Great job. Hope to see some work/maintenance videos on the 912. Would like to see more videos from you…..even these short ones. I know your back at work now.

    As an FJ Owner its hard to see that go but enjoyed all the content you created with it. It helped me a great deal with my own restoration. So happy to see you went back to Porsche too! Win, Win!

    As always, it's great to see a video from you Jerod. I think you wrapped up the FJ quite nicely. Sweet 912! I'm looking forward to seeing future videos - especially videos about the I3. Keep them videos coming!!!

    Great to see you having a video up, it’s been a while…. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the 914. I KNOW you won’t be just drive it without upgrading and tweaking it to make it your own!

    RIGHT ON! I had a ‘69 912…albeit not quite the same as the ‘76 with its T4 motor. What are the plans for the ‘12?

    I miss some video about the fuel injection, I was curious to know how it performed. Good challenge.

      This is the video for the fuel injection: FJ40 Restoration (Episode 21) - New Fuel Injection

      I really like this fuel injection kit I’ve installed 4 of them so far. The other 3 were on jeeps.

    thank you for the video's of you rebuilding the FJ40. @JerodHelt I was wondering where you got the TBI cover that you used to connect to the the air cleaner housing.?

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  4 місяці тому

      I looked all over for that thing and in the end I just made it. I bought a sheet of metal from home depot… rolled it to the two diameters I needed and welded it together. I put some seam sealer on the inside of the weld and painted it black. I used some edging material I had left over from the Fiat build to help the bottom seal. The top fits into the air cleaners stock seal. I originally thought about modifying some coffee cans to make the two “tubes”. I still think that could work but I used a small metal roller to make them.

    Dude... great minds think alike. I just picked up a one owner 912e a few months ago. Looking forward to vids on yours. I'm trying to find a registry of 912e ownership (not 912's). Please let me know if you are aware of one. Thanks!

    The 912E, being from Oregon, probably has some issues, and I look forward to any work on it. Did it come with the 1700 or a 2 L? I have a 1700 withh baby Dells in my '72 Bus, and a well tuned one loves to rev, and will run all day long at 400 rpm very happily. Best wishes.

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  4 місяці тому

      It has the 2.0 L with the original fuel injection. I have to keep it all stock to pass smog here in CA. It runs great and gets good gas mileage

    Bro, I just binged watched all episodes. So disappointing you had to pull the engine for a rebuild. Honestly you silently talked me out of doing this. If you could do it differently what would you have done?

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  4 місяці тому

      If I did it again I would buy one with very little rust that doesn’t need to be painted. I don’t mind rebuilding engines but I’m not a fan of body work.
