1 Year Timelapse // DIY Classic Porsche Restoration

Here's a 1 year compilation video of my very first restoration project. I had almost no experience when I started this and very few tools.

Looking at it now it doesn't look like a lot of work for a whole year but it was a huge learning curve for me and I really enjoyed every minute of it. Much more videos coming this following year... I got bit more experience now and few more tools.

I have just started restoring a 1983 Porsche 924 NA, I have very little experience and a small budget, your videos help a lot. Keep going!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Awesome to hear! Thank you for watching and good luck with your project!

[@jeffhammond8969]

Looking forward to the next episodes. Great dedication to bringing this back to life.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you, Jeff! Next one should be out in a few days.

[@retroclassicfleet]

Amazing dedication and work

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! It was a lot of work for an amateur like me but I really enjoyed it.

Sehr schöner zusammen Schnitt auf jeden Fall ist er ja in den richtigen Händen bin auf jeden Fall weiter sehr gespannt es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall 👍❤️👍

such a cool car, I'm currently restoring one rn

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thanks, good luck with your restoration!

I am also in the process of removing rust on the battery bay and rust on the sunroof, which is a chronic problem with the 924. I work for 1-2 hours a day, but it takes a lot more time than I thought because it is meticulously done like removing rotten teeth at the dentist. All rusted and non-renewable panels were cut. It is planned to remove as much rust as possible before spring, and finish with fiberglass, carbon, and epoxy resin after rust prevention from the beginning of March, which is always at room temperature. I always look forward to your next video.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Great to hear you made progress! Yes, bodywork is very labor intensive. I plan on tackling bodywork myself in the spring. More videos coming soon.

[@typex80]

Thanks for the upload! Your videos are motivating me to get moving on my 180sx restoration! keep them coming

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! Good luck with your project!

924 mein Wunschprojekt , demnächst. Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg bei diesem tollen Projekt.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! Best of luck to you too.

[@jeremysanchez7884]

I wish I could do the same on my 924s. (nice paint on the calipers, even if I don't like the yellow...)

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! Detailed version videos with slower footage are on my channel. Full playlist is pinned in comment section.

[@donreid6399]

I had a 1976 and 1/2 924 and I loved the car. Unfortunately, doing this deep of a restoration would not have been economically feasible. Still, I loved watching this video. It brought back a lot of great memories of bombing around my local back roads!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you for watching!

[@GiorgosGkousios]

Fantastic channel that motivates me to do the same that I keep postponing cause lack of knowledge. Keep it up!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! You can do it too!

[@AlexandrSovt]

Great job. Was doing the same with wiring harness. Looked pretty depressing at the beginning. Now almost completed rewiring

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you! Rewiring is a huge job, getting stressed just thinking about it 😅

[@passolaman6338]

Excellent work. I've done the same, but not to such an excellent standard as yourself

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you!

[@profissaomarketingdigital]

Great job!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you!

[@TTjustTT]

Assembly!!

[@RestorationApprentice]

a looot to do before that. Thanks for watching!

[@ScimPeep]

Done a light overhaul on a 80 Le Mans, need to care a bit on my 44S2, 2. :) Well done so far, great videos and like the hands on attitude! Lots of patience and very organized. Basically doing everything yourself is the only way (yet) to save these cars currently, later on pobably proper restaurations will pay out enough, making these budget sports cars unaffordable to the common guys, like the 11 is, was and always will be....

[@RestorationApprentice]

Well said, thanks!

Good job

Thank you!

My plan at the moment is to hopefully get a 924 or maybe a 944 and restore it as a project car. These videos are amazing and I was wondering if anybody out there has any idea on what insurance would be like for me. I am 18 soon so obviously being a young driver I would expect it to be larger than if I were older but I want to get one whilst they're still relatively affordable. Any help would be great and keep the great videos going!

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you for watching and hope you find a good project car! Where I live, age don't play any role in a car insurance, so I can't help you there. Join one of the facebook groups... A lot of UK drivers and from the rest of the world too.

[@ChunkyOrca]

Hi, i am thinking of buying a 924 as my first ever project car. Its about 3000 euros. Seller says it has some problems and doesn't start. Says it might be fuel line related due to it not running 5 years. Would you recommend this car as a first project?

[@RestorationApprentice]

Definitely, my 924 is my first project car. 3000€ might be to steep for a non running car though. For a sitting car you need to do a lot work to make it reliable atop all the regular maintenance and body/interior work it might need. Good luck!

33:37 impact screwdriver is the best. not electric ! the one which you hit with a hammer

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you for commenting. Yes, I've used it in some of my videos.

[@vertex944gt3]

never use wd40 on rubber, if you want to use the parts again. any kind of wd40 and alike melts rubber.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Every rubber on this car is 30+ years old so nothing will be reused. But I think that theory has been disproven. Check out "WD-40 Long-Term Exposure Testing on Rubber Parts (Experiments Ep.2)" video by Fuzzy Dice Projects

[@vertex944gt3]

@@RestorationApprentice yes, there is many types of ,,rubber'', many types of plastic etc.
