Let the 80s build series commence!! I'M GONNA 80's SOOOOO HARD!!!!! Who's with me?
You need something with a Digital Dash!
I quote Tone Loc, "This is the 80's, and I'm down with the ladies, ya know?" The ladies being your German fraulines.
@@keelangerken5154 hell yeah
@caseyputsch not to ask you reveal all a magicians secrets does the match book thing only work on white? I know commenters will beat me up never heard of this method.
Yes! I am!
Making porsches more better by dismantling them... Casey putsch, since 2020
:) Started with dismantling Corvettes, now this!
About 20 years ago, I bought an 89 Scirocco. to replace a wrecked VW quantum and needed another daily driver pretty quickly. The mechanic I used for maintenance said lets get that timing belt serviced very soon. I didn't have the cash at the time but regret not doing it at least on a credit card as it broke and caused engine damage about a month later. The repair bill was going to be about $1800 at the time. We ended up selling it at a loss and leasing a new Jetta. Another bad mistake. I loved that Scirocco and it was so fun to drive. I love what you are doing with these cars, Casey, thanks for sharing!
Man, that garage is so 80s it needs a Merkur XR4Ti. ;-)
Great projects. We need guys to bring these gems back to life.
Thanks Casey
It is all about what makes you happy. If it is all 100% OEM or matching partings or name brand custom parts, in the end it is about what makes you happy. If you get ‘part’ and always look at ‘part’ saying wish I would have done ‘other part’. Personally I’m more about the $$$ money and saving it. I love tools and getting the tools to do a job then learning how to in-depth. Kinda like fish lures and learning how to work them beside cast and real in. I enjoy the lead up to the hurt, the prep as much as the hurt and more then the aftermath. Happy is what matters because you work too hard to not enjoy life. That’s just my two cent.
You have some awesome 80’s rides. It is funny how we love the cars of the childhood. I had a terrible bike accident at 13 lost all my memory and childhood memory so lift started at 13 for me. The brain is a odd part. I didn’t know how I knew how to do it I just did and still am that way but the 90’s cars and early 2000’s are my favorites. Might be why is a 1991 Nissan D21 hardbody, 2002 BMW Z3 M roadster, and a 2009 Honda Ruckus (they started them in 2002 lol). Somedays I’ll get a 2001 750Li V-12 manual swapped I can build to have more power and maybe a turbocharged duramax swapped hummer h1 or hmmwv with A/C. Besides the 750Li I like basics like power steering, power brakes, maybe windows and mirror. I don’t have radio in my truck only a Glock box with radio cover my Z3M CD player been skipping since 2006 when the warranty ran out.
That 944 looks amazing!!
I’ve never clicked a video so fast! The 928 interior came out excellent!
I don’t know who in their right mind would own a car from the ‘80s...oh, shite, I do!!! I’ve got a ‘88 Mitsubishi Starion. I love the ‘80s. 😎
Did we just become best friends!???
I had two Conquests, would love to own one again.
Just when I was almost over Casey's spot on sweater game that would make an LL Bean model jealous...
...now I have owl envy.
Damn you Casey, damn you to Hell!
P.S. I applied Avalon King ceramic coating to my EBR 1190 motorcycle plastics last year, and still holding up like a boss.
Da hahahahaha!!! And awesome about the ceramic man!
Awesome assortment of project cars 👏!! I've owned an 88 16V Scirocco, 2 944's and 2 928's. They were all absolutely fantastic cars.
I'm glad I'm not the only nerd on here that loves Tron. Casey fights for the students.
Absinthe expands consciousness. Absinthe is necessary for car restorations.
Got to love the 928 and 944
Best cheap Porsche
What it can't be an 80s garage without a Dodge conquest
I love them cars we just don't see how much here in KY
Agreed! I have owned 2 Starquests.
OMG, the Boxter exploded!!!!!
Boom!
the 80s corner looks cool as heck
Sciroccitron is singlehandedly the COOLEST name I’ve ever heard for a car. Love it!
Yes - please finish up on my 928... 😊👍
Intro editing on point today. This is the type of content I like most from you.
Casey! I just got a 944 myself and am learning a lot from your videos! I'm located in Cincy and would love to see that gorgeous 944 you have yourself one day!
Those 2 Porsches are so clean!
The sound of an 80's-era Porsche door when it closes... perfection. The opening sound is pretty good too. 😉
Got that 3m scotchlite pinstriping on the motorcycle, it perfectly blends with the color during the day and adds extra safety in the dark, can't beat two for the price of one!
In my 40s and kinda craving a 80/90s light manual fun car. 👍🏻the VW my cool friend had in high school 👍🏻 and my rich friends mom had the red 944. The 944 have aged well ! Edit Porsche, there is no substitute.
928 is my favorite car since it came out. Never had one but it is my dream car
Need a IROC, a 6 pack of beer, and a mullet next
Mic drop!
Hello Casey, first I enjoy your videos. Will you have a detailed video on the rust removal on the fender. I live in Canada and they are generous on salt on the streets and it eats up your car. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge on the Tube. Cheers.
Casey, tell your camera person to use the reflection of a light fixture to show dents. If you get the right lighting, it's amazing what you can see. Check out some paintless dent repair (PDR) to see what I mean. And maybe you can do some PDR on that hood. Doesn't look too bad to me. I suggest you get one of the amazon kits and try it out.
You are living the life
I'm glad you you got all these cars. My favorite is the 944. I wanted one so bad when they first came out. I still want one. Have fun driving my CAR. LOL
Love that 80's garage. And yes, it is kind of painful to see that Porsche dismanteled, but I look forward to the lykan build.
come ooooooonnn more 928 Videos! I'm really interested to the Dash board repair/restoration...plus the dreaded timing belt and the works.
It might be a fun project to vinyl wrap the Scrirocco instead of trying to fix all the little the paint problems.
If you ever need help on a 944, I paid a Rally cup 944 racer from NJ to come to NY and I paid per day to teach me, the whole engine in the 83 and the 85.5 and when I was done he left me a real rally shirt from Porsche that said mechanic, as he said you are now a trained mechanic on this car..it was a nice touch after paying 5,000 to learn it ,but well worth it.
seeing you 83 makes me soo mad... I had the same quality paint, wet sanded and looked like you'res but it was original Guards red, and it had 23K and I know what people said it turns over at 9999k but the shape of the car and the engine and parts told me it was the real milage and it had only been worked on, tuned up by Porcshe with the records, I soo wanted the phone dails rims ..and I was 1 day too late to drive an 89 944 t I think, off somebody yard free...free..with phone dials.mine had 2003 911 rims and Falken tires and i think the rims and tires were worth more then the car lol i live in the Hamptons on long island,and the super-rich give away 50,000 cars are classics like a 560sel with 40k for 2k I got and you could get any German car with less than 50 K for under 4,000$ they just want them gone,and I've gotten very lucky,i got an 83 911 sc that was in a barn in East Hampton since 95 and was in showroom condition,6K..a 85 SAAB 900s t Burgandy Convert 20k for 500% FIVE hundred.I'm retired military now and I think I could make 80-120 k just buying a car in the Hamptons. and reselling it.in the 80s I did masonry work on every famous person's house ever, and my work was in magazines, I was a good apprentice and craftsman later, and my work from 89 hasn't even cracked or changed, and every 5 years Id stop by my work and have held those relationships since, and I told them back in the 80s when they asked why my bid was double the highest? I promise my work would outlive me and guaranteed my work for life,...and I had a line of jobs and was always doubling the highest bidder getting the job .then getting slipped 10-20 k from homeowner to get working sooner..My 911 had a 2ballcane as an emblem lol
Wow you made quick work on disassembly of the Porsche. I have a one owner 87 Supra Turbo you should add to that 80s collection. I'll have a restomod video of it on my channel soon.
Despite being born in 99. I think the mid to late 80s had some of the best drivers cars.
The 944 is notoriously undersprung, if you get new shocks you should stiffen it up a bit and beef up the sway bars. If you can, go with the adjustable dampers too.
Man, you have a "Dream Garage"❗ Love it❗ I recommend the brushed gold on the 928 wheels. But one thing I'd do different; I would do a dark chestnut tan on the 928's upholstery, would really pop with the paint color and gold wheels. But still, your collection is amazing ‼👍🏽🙂
If I could make a recommendation. I do antique tractor restoration and have had far better success with Rust Bullet Automotive over POR15. Where the MR2 body has deteriorated I think you’ll be happier over two years and beyond with Rust Bullet. However, I too used POR15 so I hope this is not received as criticism rather an opportunity for greater success. Projects look great. Love the 928. I to at about age 17 found myself going 135 mph on a super long on ramp while barely trying. The 928 is so smooth it just eats up the road. Great car. Hopefully you can find the parts and rebuild the Paris Phone alternator they tend to be pricey and bring down the entire electrical system of the car.
I have a 1988 Toyota Corolla SR5. Neighbor gave it to me for free just to free up space in his driveway. Since then I’ve had trouble with my finances and since then left it sitting for a year. But every now and then I’ll think to myself one day she’ll run,(normally).
Ur the man
Would love to see a royal enfield
TRON look!! 😃👍
I’d have been happy with that mr2!
That mr2 is going to look so good with those fenders when it's a bit lower
Just an FYI, on the Scirocco, there is only one pump and it is by the tank.
Used to have an 87 Scirocco. I adored that car even though it was beat to hell
Your MR2 had a rubber air dam? I had an 86 with a steel air dam that was dinged up and rusting through. It was my first real experience with some rattle can paint. Unfortunately wasn't a car worth saving, but it taught me a lot and I sold it on.
Casey's favorite catch phrase "come on over here"
Love your videos...Would you consider restoring the Porsche 924?
Although you don't love a paint job, a paint job may be the good way to go for the German/Arabian Knight this time. Just a thought.
I always wanted to go sleepy eye look with my AW11. Any thoughts on possibly doing that?
Keep the phone dials on the 944 and 928! I wish I had them on my 928.
Any plans getting an 80s corolla Casey? I'm planning to get a ke70 corolla as soon as I get enough money for it, but upgrading the rear drum brakes and suspensoon looks quite daunting. I'm also intrigued to buy a cefiro or datsun 510, but the ke70 looks so sexy
😂... Mr Owl🦉, totally an evil genius racer's pet 😎👍
LOL
hey casey! what do you think about rear window louvers for the scirocco? the channel "B is for build" has a 3 videos of how he made his own. might be a cool idea. id love to see how you would engineer your own.
Are you not fixing the music system along with the speakers in the 928 as and when the interior is apart
AW11 > Fiero any day of the week
Much prefer these videos where you are sharing information/plans about the cars. Can you use camera guys name? Sort of makes it feel like they are disposable or just hired help rather than part of the team. 👍
I’m 20 years old and I’ve been obsessed with 80s cars every since I saw an AW11 in my neighborhood over 10 years ago. I’ve wanted to pick something up so long, but I’m worried about the general reliability issues that comes with a car of such vintage (not much of a wrench). What car would you recommend to satiate my desire for popup headlights? I’ve already considered a Miata but it just isn’t for me. I love the 944 and MR2 of course!
Ps: I spend way too much time on Facebook marketplace looking for cars!!
Squirrel removal? I guess that's the next step more aggressive than bug and tar remover? (I know, I know, it's swirl remover. For some reason it sounded like squirrel.)
Now Casey, get some Japanese kei cars and mini trucks for a mini-fleet
Maybe you could consider puting the 928 wheels on the 944.
Also, I think that your timing belt is too tight between two toothed gears. I think that's the odd noise you hear from the engine.
My 924 has paint chips from rocks like it was rally driven... What do you recommand for that? I cant buff it out, and there is so much chips you can see the metal underneath, it would need a full respray, but im broke...?
Great informative videos btw, I learn things I can apply on my 924 from your 944/928!
You plan on installing some lifts in the garage
If I remember correctly, on a 928 (& 944?) the trans-axle is in the back (weight balance) where only a differential would normal be located? ;-)
yup
Casey Punch is cool
Casey, re: MR2 rear quarter repair plan, don’t you worry about electrolysis between your two dissimilar metals when you sandwich your aluminum patch panel over the existing steel quarter panel?
Not really, they won’t be touching
Thanks .I will get swirl remover.someone put deap swirl in my 85 mustang gt
Do you plan on getting a 996 turbo in the future
Throw some carnauba wax on a day or two after youve ceramic coated for an extra warm glow:)
Would you work on a classic bike like a bmw , a triumph or a bsa
You need a foxbody mustang to go with your 80's collection
21:44
Casey how much ceramic coating did you need for the 944.? Getting ready to order. Tx
1 bottle
Are you not fixing the music system in the 944
Team Evil fully supports destroying that Pontiac Fiero! Game respect Game Evil Genius.
WOOOO!!
What about the mechanical work on the mr2
Using Isopropyl to kill the bugs - If only you did that with your Can Am Lola back in the day....
Looking good . Where are the students
Make do and upgrade later. Just don't get stuck with the "I made do" stuff for too long. Personal experience shows that to be a bad idea
Would you buy a deloren in the future
Already had two. Yes, but they are pretty expensive these days
Scirocco..... I had a 76..... Great car... For ending back seat driver rants and criticism...as the seat slid back till they almost touched....... Terrible though... Habit for broken exhaust manifold studs which requires to engine to be removed...... And I broke a motor mount. Which was part of the firewall... I don't know how that was considered fine German engineering... It wasn't... Fortunately.. AMERICAN ingenuity solved that issue when I supported the weight of the engine by a chain.. M
Do you like muscle cars. Would love to see a classic mustang or a camaro probably a charger being worked on by you
I might be down for a 70s-80s Camaro or TA or a late 60s Mustang
Moer better IS a correct, incorrect grammarical statement and I LOVE IT! Bahahahahaha 😜
All good cars, but a 1980's Alfa GTV6 might really round off the bunch
Would you like to have any cruiser bike
Would he ever be willing to sell the old porsches at some point
Someday
that 928 is so sexy omfg
Sir you plan on building another top gun Kawasaki
Yes
Camera guy or girl? Waka waka waka. LOL!
Sir you are a car and a bike guy and you “arguably “ have great cars but what about the bikes
Not enough American cars in this garage
Youre just jealous of reliability ;)
Downvoted for no Panda 86.
AWEEE...One day I swear!
@@CaseyPutsch the MR2 was definitely a favorite as a teen though so I'll probably change it lol. Just curious, in your classic cars what cassettes you keep for road trips? I have Back in Black, Blues Brothers soundtrack and a few Elvis albums.
Ah the Porsche's engine is in the wrong end of the car, and it's too liquid cooled for me .. This guy's a hoser..
What’s up Earle of Snobbington? Mad the PCA event got cancelled? :) I’m just messin with ya man. Air cooled is still cool even though they sound like ancient sewing machines
@@CaseyPutsch Well seeing that event is about 18000 Kilometres away from me in Western Australia, it is a little hard for me to be too mournful about it.. have fun with your glorified Audis ;)
Casey, I love you, but my only complaint to you is you're caring too much what people think about you. Example, the paint on the VW. You went too in depth and seemed to get annoyed when you were explaining what you wanted to do to it and made like a "It's my way or the highway" answer. Regardless, the 944 is my favorite.
Epic FAIL - Thomas Magnum would not approve.....JK.
