As a partner in a Porsche restoration shop, I wanted to congratulate you for your dedication to doing thie work correctly. It is rare here in the states to see this level of corrosion in a G-body 911, but almost routine in the pre-galvanized cars. You have made great improvements in this Carrera and the pride of accomplishment must be the greatest reward. Congratulations.

While the car in question happens to be a Porsche, I feel this is an essential series for anyone considering starting a restoration project. The technical work is first rate but just as importantly, the ethos of why the work needs to be done and why the unstinting level of detail that permeates the series is critical. Call it a examination and evaluation of values. Don't cut corners here or in your real life. Fantastic presentation!

Obviously not everyone is lucky enough to own a classic Porsche but even with a lesser car it is worthy to put in the time whenever you are fixing something and FIX IT RIGHT. IMHO... you blew way past the "fix it right" level, you let your obsession turn your work into mechanical art. Best of luck to you!

Hi Achim. Es ist ja nicht zu spät und wenn man die Autos vorsichtig einsetzt, gehen sie ja kaum mehr weiter kaputt. Vielleicht ist es irgendwann so weit!

I am watching this video waiting for the fed ex truck to deliver my new shocks for my 85 911 carrera, I spent over 300 hours cleaning and detailing the engine bay. I thought it would be a 4 month $6500 job, It has taken 16 months and $17000. I had the gearbox sent to a specialist, that cost $9200. I am so excited to start the motor.

This was fantastic. One day, when I own my own 911, i'll remember this. Although a lot of work, and time, the required tools and skill wouldn't be too hard to develop (just try on a cheaper car first XD) What was that steam/rust prevention you placed into the cavities, never seen it before. Also one last thing, I don't know if your settings are slightly wrong for the metal thickness, it seems that the wire speed is very quick, and maybe high amps, causing the blowouts in the steel. Again, fantastic, I look forward to my possible builds in the future!

@@GreasyFingers Good point, my take is the world is full of wonderfully talented and inventive people, I’m confident that their passion for the internal combustion engine and wonderful engineering will keep these beauties alive and vibrant, witness the Goodwood Revival and the massive numbers of enthusiasts who attend every year. I remain an optimist, hope I’m right and that you can keep your Chanel running for as long as is possible. Thank you once again from England.
