FINISHING TOUCHES on my $34K Porsche 997 911 Turbo Rebuild!

[@Waveito2]

Bought a 996 this weekend because of you so if anything goes sideways it’s your fault.

[@darrylhoward767]

Good luck.....your in big trouble.....😅

[@gouldnj]

Good luck. Hope you don’t have any past-due dental work, back child support or HOA dues. Porches have a habit of taking over your wallet and personality.

[@jeremyrawls9394]

wait until you start seeing the part costs..lol

[@andrebrown8792]

It’s a 996, what could possibly go wrong??? 😊

[@ckbeiswenger]

This has been my absolute favorite KZbin content.

[@matt13ross]

Kind words!!

[@frankl9605]

All car lovers love the Porsche 911 and your channel is growing. Congratulations on completing this car. I hope your next project is a Porsche.✌🏻👍🏻

[@MikeBMW]

I'm hoping for an e34 BMW! ;)

[@fernandovaca7970]

I’m hoping he sticks to these two cars for a bit. Upgrading turbos, tuning it, and really dialing them, maybe one can be track and the other daily?

[@matt13ross]

One of them will be getting power upgrades for sure! The other will be leaving ....

[@bandwagon240]

For next time: If you have a steam wand/cleaner, use that to remove the tint. It makes even the most crusty tint peel without any adhesive left behind.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

The license plate was hysterical. Every part you installed was a struggle. I've been there, my car fights me every time. Got to go work on it when I get home today, it'll be a fight I'm sure.

[@matt13ross]

They always fight back lol

[@longsleevethong1457]

Yeah. It’s awesome to watch someone remove their bumper 4 times. Top tier entertainment here.

[@gameelalkanshaly9333]

Not gonna lie I didn’t like the gray at first but seeing it all together it’s looks amazing good job!

[@Exillin]

Making mistakes is easy, owning up to it is the hard part. You keep it real, Respect Matt! amazing content!

[@matt13ross]

Appreciate it!

[@tomburns890]

The side skirts look great and that turtle wax black finish is a very good inexpensive fix that looks and works good. You will have to re-coat them in about a year depending on weather and usage.

[@TWOTONEFARM]

OMG, HOOD STRUTS!!! HOOD STRUTS!!!! YES, LETS GO!!

[@matt13ross]

Finally!!

[@Redsmeg68]

Just prior to this series starting i let go my 2005 911 997 to a friend, due to lack of opportunity to drive it., who has done a lot of upgrades and its getting driven again. These cars are amazing and deserve to be put back on the road at every opportunity. This has been a great project and you deserve accolades for the excellent job you have done.

[@dkosawa]

Getting so close to being done. It looks amazing!!

[@brandonmulford5524]

I've had really good luck with the turtle wax trim dye. I found rubbing alcohol works well to prepare the tri before the application.

[@matto20v]

"My rivets pull out but I don't...." - oh that is GOLD!! Hah!!!

[@matt13ross]

First one to notice!!! Ahahaha

[@Th3Painki113r]

Congratulations on the car and the series, it's been really fun to watch so far

[@krisklemick697]

Looking good! Keep it up. Macan wheel and head unit.

[@grantlingley1385]

Was looking forward to this next episode! You are flying through this Matt!

[@S2NAZ]

Seriously great job Matt bring this Porsche back to life. It just looks great 👍🏻

[@francisp2740]

Just wanted to give a big shout out to the yellow jack for helping out with all the heavy lifting when Matt needed an extra hand. I can't believe I watched both cars get built in such a short time and now they look mint. Matt, thank you for giving me something to look forward to every week. From one car guy to another keep up the awesome work, really enjoy watching your progress.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks for the kind words! The yellow Jack has been mint lol

[@johngriffiths3394]

That was a great one Matt. Cannot wait for the finally finished machine!

[@CodePeek299]

Great work!! stoked to se more progress

[@geraldturner3935]

I’ve really enjoyed your journey putting these 2 Porsches together.

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Please Matt….throw some gold BBS LM wheels on that bad boy. It would look so minty 👌

[@HairExperience]

Mini Split in the garage !! I did it, game changer for sure

[@matt13ross]

Actually my garage stays about the same temp as the house.

[@virtualburton]

Awesome Matt. I like the fact that you show the mistakes too, it makes it real. Becoming one of my favourite channels! I’m very excited for you to have this car complete. You worked really hard on it. 👍🏻

[@matt13ross]

Thank you! I try and keep it real

[@stefaneulenstein]

the license plate debacle is so relatable

[@richardvoller8183]

So close to the finish line now Matt. Fantastic content. Thanks for sharing. Loved it all.

[@thehpw]

Love the 997 series. For any black exterior trim try SEM Black Trim paint. Those restorers don’t last.

[@datkinsify]

the ability to make fun of one's self is what I am best at, I feel for you buddy!

[@991.2TargaNJ]

The side skirts look good with the dye but I have used LITHIUM AUTO CARE Trim Serum - Trim Restorer and it works great. It was designed to bring the oil back to the top without needing dye.

[@sucapizda]

Wing and Rims. Waiting!!!!

[@CraigStewart-v9o]

The car looks so good and it looks so clean with the tint gone

[@mattmarshall747]

The wheels that were on the car before it was painted would look nice on it now in gold (in my opinion) Love the build. Paint looks amazing with the terracotta interior 👌🏻

[@matt13ross]

I think you're right!

[@yahirlamberty5582]

This car is coming out amazing! Keep up the great work Matt 💪🏼

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! Will do!

[@SCMosser]

Cannot wait for this thing to be finally finished!

[@russellcurtis2825]

Wow the car is looking amazing well done Matt. Russell 🇬🇧

[@evanwheeler7687]

Love it. Also love the wheels you have on it, those are some of my favorite porsche wheels. If you want to go aftermarket, maybe some RUF wheels?

[@MyBallers]

Man she is looking beautiful!

[@vz6756]

It’s really coming together! And what a great platform, 997 Turbo (albeit I might be biased 😊) Check out GT2/GT3 sideskirts. Subtle difference but I think they HUGELY add to the look of the car.

[@xcutiveproducer2478]

What an amazing job! Looks absolutely stunning. Great job my friend.

[@tonechigwidden9514]

Great work Matt.The 997 looks epic. Hope you keep the stock wheels.Cheers 👍

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Still kickin ass Matt

[@dwtrksvc]

Love your honesty and ability to make fun of yourself! The car is looking awesome!

[@ebsupra]

Matt, whatever successes you incur with this channel are well deserved. Great content. I respect your work immensly more than the channels that "make it big" and stray from their roots. Please stay as the guy in his garage rebuilding sweet cars. And if you haven't scrapped yet, get that POS M3 road worthy again 🙂

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much! I don't plan on changing other than a bigger garage! M3 is being painted now

[@albertflecha150]

Looking so good. Very excited to see the final product and that first drive. That being said... Maybeeeee spray paint those black washers with Japanese writing on them?

[@gregglen-hoodedratmedia]

Dude, such a great view to see the progress in this video. Keep it up Matt

[@n8sanders]

The car is looking really good!

[@brucefenwick1899]

Have loved this series, please get another Porsche

[@MichaelErasmus-on5yb]

Much respect from Gordons Bay, South Africa

[@Dr._Swash_Buckler]

Great progress in this video! Excited for the next one

[@backseatgamer1813]

I can't wait for the build breakdown, buying a wrecked one and restoring it I'm pretty sure is my only hope in justifying a Porsche purchase to the wife 😆

[@plus790]

Get a 987.2 or 981 Cayman S or Boxster S. Great motors withough the IMS or bore scoring.

[@EstorilE36M345]

Awesome that you salvaged the side skirts. Good cost savings on a piece you really don’t notice

[@robertheck-l3u]

Man it looks so good

[@dieselgti1]

The 997 is coming along! Love the chalk gray and red tails combo from the back. Can't wait to see what wheels you go with!

[@matt13ross]

Greyyyy!!!!

[@t.g.998]

19:58 🤣but in the next clip you still had the broom stick in your hand, D'oh!

[@matt13ross]

Stupid editor!! It's me I'm him lol

[@edgegamer]

Looking mint Matt! Love it! I’d spray those turbo wheels in black they would look awesome with crayon, have the same on my white Cayman!

[@hifiandmtb]

I've said this before, but your editing is terrific. It's the editing that turns good YT into great YT.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much! I pride myself in that.

[@gibby3820]

Steam is the answer to tint and really all adhesive work. A cheap steamer will get you much further than a heat gun... although it is never fun

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

Side skirts are beautiful bro

[@manuelroldan6005]

Car is looking good. You are doing a great job.

[@jaywilliams188]

Great work Matt

[@belledetector]

The joy of seeing those hood struts get installed 🙂

[@matt13ross]

Yup lol

[@GSOliver]

I love your series! Thank you for taking the time to record your journey.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks for watching!

[@2tothe6]

You're vids are a real motivation for me to continue work on my car. Thx

[@matt13ross]

You can do it!

[@willchinlee]

Great job Matt. So close bro

[@joshswan06]

Cars looking great

[@DuanDao]

That rear plate LOL, happens to all of us. You get so fixated on getting that task done you don't see the glaring obvious

[@matt13ross]

Always happens lol

[@1gbgastowers1]

Get a mini split for garage ac. Game changer. Amazon for $1000 18,000btu 220v. All you’ll need is an electrician to wire it. AC,heat and dehumidify

[@matt13ross]

I would but my little garage actually stays at about the same temp as my house.

[@challengerjetdriver]

Ok that was funny those first 10 mins lol 🎉keep it going!

[@gouldnj]

New tattoo Matt? Car is looking good brother. Those side skirts take a beating, but painted and PPFd they visually lower the car.

[@matt13ross]

I got it a few months ago.

[@Mario-ky6rx]

Wow 😲

[@Rendierenzijnlief]

I like how you reused the side trims with the turtle wax product. Well done, turned out nice

[@Silveradols3]

Looks killer dude!

[@RonaldCiubuc]

You ever consider the melt trick for the side skirts ? Take a torch to them and quickly pass over them with the flame it brings up a lower level of the plastic and rehydrates it to make it shiny again

[@matt13ross]

Ahh that's a good idea!

[@Fotomotion_garage]

Keep up the great content Matt!

[@Crushin_Libs]

Hey Matt, I just used that trim restorer on my GT500 and I thought you should know any low or high PH chemical will strip that trim restorer. I put mine on about 5 weeks ago and I’d say it’s around 60%. Definitely a good product compared to alternative measures, however, painting for me has been a good full 12month option. Awesome seeing your channel grow.

[@manuteamoutham4368]

almost done matt, we see the end ;)

[@crvolvo]

Great work!!!

[@denisfitzgerald3474]

The 997 is looking absolutely beautiful! What a build! I’ve been hooked on this since the beginning. Only wish I could have one! 😊👍

[@matt13ross]

Find a project 997!

[@denisfitzgerald3474]

@@matt13ross project cars are pretty rare in the UK, I’ll get one eventually though!😊👍

[@martinkell7866]

Looking great!

[@jamesewing3779]

You are my favorite car KZbinr to watch (always jump straight to your new video when I hop on YoutTube)! Just graduated from University in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I definitely will be using my newfound adult income to buy some broken Porsches and follow in your footsteps haha

[@matt13ross]

Thank you so much!!

[@oscaroldan]

What about changing interior color for other?You could tint seats,trims etc with Imolarot red for example.

[@matt13ross]

Nooo I love the terracotta!

[@matto20v]

I really, really look forward to your videos. Well done on everything you have done thus far and here's to more great content in the future. Thank you for doing what you do! From Australia.

[@craigessich611]

keep up the great work!!

[@liamegan4303]

Hello Matt. I missed a few videos because I was Overseas with the Military, and we all know what's happening with that, lol. Anyway, Matt, you are ploughing on with the fantastic work. The license plate was so funny, time-lapse, lol 😅. Brilliant video again, Matt. 💯👏👏 🇮🇪

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Amazing WORK ❤️ 👍🏼

[@tylersanders6080]

Looking goooooood👍🏻

[@mikemiklavic1930]

Great videos man, keep it up!

[@anthonybrand6137]

Hey Matt, I feel your pain in having to fit, remove and refit the newly completed back bumper several times.......we've all been there buddy! This 997 project is looking good, and those refurbed side skirts look great! I fitted some new GT2 side skirts to my 997 Carrera 4S, and they really transformed the look of the car. Keep up the great work......nearlg there! 👍🔥👍

[@matt13ross]

Thought about the GT2 but $$$$$

[@swift__]

Looks great, stoked for the final reveal 😎 ( and maybe wheels?? 🤔)

[@matt13ross]

Wheel yes

[@greatonest.vgreatonest.v8193]

Your videos are very motivating I really do appreciate your videos!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@LouisEguchiWale]

Really liking the attention to detail and oem plus finish . Love from the UK

[@franciscampos337]

Great videos! So you have one how you remove and install the rubber/alumimum molding on the rear window? Need to remove mine and don’t know how. Read very important not to drop riverts inside fender.

[@smittdog1965]

I love Porsche’s and just came upon your video. I’m standing work.

[@matt13ross]

Welcome aboard!

[@violinmiata]

Hood strut javelin toss with the cat noise was a good touch. Really made my evening lol

[@matt13ross]

I'm glad to hear it! Lol

[@peterwatson464]

Can’t wait to see what the Markski tune does to wake up this amazing car

[@peterwatson464]

Where did you source the body screws you referred to in the video?

[@matt13ross]

Here you go amzn.to/45CuXkk

[@ce2749]

great work matt. Love this build

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@hectorfeliciano6570]

The content it is awesome, I am looking for a porsche myself. I am looking forward to your next video. Your videos are one the best out there.

[@matt13ross]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pchannan]

Look at getting 997 gt2 side skirts and paint to match body colour. One of my first mods and still favorite

[@georgehollis4133]

Sad to see this project coming to an end Looking great 👍

[@matt13ross]

Still lots of fun stuff left with it!

[@marklengal9990]

Looking 👍
