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!

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!

Ive just found your channel and its very timely as I’m researching for a Backdate project I’m soon to start on my ‘82 911 SC. Your channel is a really excellent resource and very engagingly filmed too…I’m hoping to film my project too, so great learnings there as well. I’m settling in to binge watch your 911 resto ….happy days!

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding age of audience you raise an interesting point. In fact, there’s a significant amount of younger chaps watching. Roughly 15% of viewers are aged between 25-35, 20% between 35 and 45, 25% between 45 and 55 and 20% between 55 and 65. There’s hope!
