Will Our Super Cheap Porsche Drive Again?

This week, Jack, Ethan, Edwin and Kyle (‪@skyrocketautomotive‬ ) dive into our abandoned Porsche 924 project car, which had been left in a field for 20 years, and was the cheapest in the country. How many parts will we need to change in order to get it running, and can we even drive the car at all?

I must say, when Alex left, I was worried whether car throttle could survive. For some reason I felt reluctant to start watching again. However having just binged all of the GTI series and throughly enjoyed it, I don’t know what I was worried about. The chemistry between jack, Ethan and Edwin is great and you guys are more than capable of standing on your own 2 feet. Keep it up guys 👍🏼

Absolutely love these videos bringing back old classics from near death. You guys are a great team and it always puts a smile on my face seeing a video drop onto YT 👍

[@mitch2527]

I have a 924 as a daily for the past 5 years. Am glued to this adventure you boys are on! Cant wait to see the supercharger. Also, replace EVERYTHING on the ignition side. They need a super strong spark to kick over reliably (especially in winter). I've tried a few and NKG leads seem decent. Also get a battery with slightly higher CCA rating than standard. Oh and good luck with the mystical WUR

[@rollingtroll]

Absolute KZbin gold. Can't wait for part Three!

[@michaelwoffindin]

She lives! Well done. In a time where people bin off their 3 year old cars because of a few electrical faults, content like this is shows what a passion for vehicles is all about. Taking cars that post people would look at as junk or just too much work and breathing new life into them. Plus any of the solutions YOU guys think of might help someone else with a problem on their car. Good stuff.

I love this! I've been restoring my barn find 924 luxe 1984 for over 10 years, it runs/drives and is motd, just got back from stonham barns classic car show with it at the weekend, it's totally OEM, I'm in Suffolk but if you ever want a Porsche 924 collab give me a message! I support this project all the way!

[@da_bacon_hair]

I just saw this on Facebook... And then I got so invested on seeing that beauty open its eyes after years and see it run on the streets again.

[@belly0156]

Love the fact you spent the entire episode bending under that knackered bonnet and bashing your heads off it to then take it off at the end for the test drive 😂

[@owenmiller-glentworth7585]

Please restore this! Then supercharge it! I'm fully invested in this and I hope she ends up on the road... I also saw someone say you should respray it and get Ethan in on the respray and I am so ready for that 👀

[@DatJamesYT]

Honestly just binged like 2 hours of this channel. Watched some of the older cheap car challenges then randomly got recommended the newer stuff like the Volvo and the Saab being priced up and its only had me laughing my ass off at 4am on a Sunday. I think its only gotten funnier without Alex tbh - your trio dynamic is great and the banter you have with the various mechanics/dyno specialist/sellers of cars are just top notch.

[@carguy.carguy]

I am curious to where this project will go, I want to salvage cars with my brother and this motivates me alot!

[@BCNeil]

Start with something easier. Most importantly, something you can find parts for, reasonably easy.

[@jamienevill1768]

Try finding kibble in the air induction system. Our mechanic discovered that & wondered how it had got there. It turns out mice had been pinching our dog's food & dropping it in various parts of the engine bay! Ours sadly ended up being broken after the new owner (who lived by the sea) lost interest and left it in their garage to rot away. Don't let that happen to yours as they're worth saving!

My hats off to you gentlemen! In ancient times I owned an ‘81 Dodge Omni 024 that had a blown 1.7l VW engine. I replaced it with a VW 1.6l with that exact mechanical fuel injection. It took me forever to get that right but it did finally work properly in the end. Kudos!
