I finished my Porsche 912 restoration (43 years off the road)

[@michaels2916]

These cars need folks like you to bring them back. The engine starting up must have almost been as got as having a kid. Congrats.

[@michaelgideon6422]

They won't restore themselves! It was a great moment, no doubt

[@bos6782]

I love the “ Smiling “ that was cool. Beautiful ride. Happy for you and the car. Match made in heaven.

[@keithparker4157]

I have the same car.. has left me on the side of the road a few times.. Great fun and tears.. love the videos

[@michaelgideon6422]

Old cars have their ups and downs. Nice car mate! Thnx

[@JacuzziSurfer]

I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 So sick!!

[@russellmarsden9329]

Well done for getting it over the line fella.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Russell!

[@Rich_Lambert]

Car's running, got content, and a cliff hanger...doesn't get any better than that! I'm happy for you.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thank you Rich! It was a fun adventure..although that night sucked haha

[@deanallen191]

Not trying to talk smack about your mechanical abilities, but doesn't the engine go in the front?! Dude that's such a huge accomplishment congratulations! Thank you for the update! Hope you get the bugs sorted out soon so you can really enjoy all your work.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Dean! I'll post an update within a week or so. Appreciate you following the journey man

[@deanallen191]

@michaelgideon6422 of course man I've been enjoying you documenting the journey.

[@pete5534]

Rolling beats sitting - nice work!

[@travelmexcursions6978]

It was awesome watching this video! Congrats on a great job you did on the engine

[@michaelgideon6422]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chriswaalen6956]

Looking Good!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Chris!

[@jimmccarthy6015]

Glad to see it together. Inspiring me to get back into the garage and continue on my 944. Thanks!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Jim! Get in there and chip away! Cheers

[@alexkemp9001]

Amazing to see it running again. What a journey!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Alex! totally worth it

[@angrygardener2430]

Great vid, great journey. Nice to a see this old PCar moving on its own. I enjoy this channel because of the shared experience of bringing back a couple of my own… both of which continue to deliver smiles, tears, cussing and memories only possible with years of tremendous spousal support

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thank you! Spousal support is key! Appreciate the support man

[@zonoscopePictures]

Man I’m so happy that you got it started- I was a bit concerned when your friend wasn’t standing guard at the engine bay when you cranked it over (the last thing you want is a fuel leak to ruin your day!) . The great thing about these cars is, it’s probably a simple fix.

[@FunWithAJ]

Happy to see a new YT video instead of just insta :) P.S. not sure if you heard the news about Deus... they opened a new location near us on PCH in newport and are opening a 2nd location in LA with resturant (like the Deus Lodge in UK). Still down for a coffee if you ever are lmk.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks AJ! I did hear that. I live pretty far, but one of these days I'm sure we'll run into each other. Cheers man

[@nlaughton]

Love it - thanks for the ride, Michael!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thank you for watching. Without you guys I'd just have these on my computer. Glad to share. Appreciate all of you

[@DCSquared]

Love a good car adventure!

[@michaelgideon6422]

It's part of the charm of an old car!

[@capejason]

Yes! Love this car. Amazing to watch your loving restoration. Congrats.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Jason! Really appreciate you following along mate

[@Hulley29]

Man, I love this car, stoked that you at least got it running even though she quit on you, I have no doubt it's something small. I can't wait for the next vid!

[@michaelgideon6422]

[@pickle7617]

Wooo! Congratulations. Bummer at the end, but that's just part of the journey, right? Hopefully sorted soon.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Pickle! It happens, you know how it is. Hope to see your hand painted e30 again soon dude

[@henningh]

lol the cut in the end 😂

[@michaelgideon6422]

haha we have an IG cheater here..lol hope you're good dude

[@jeffhammond8969]

Nice! SWB 912’s are cool. Probably a small issue like a ground that came loose. Next step paint correction on the single stage paint?

[@michaelgideon6422]

I'll drive it for a while and enjoy it while deciding if I'll mess with the paint. I may never mess with it.

[@where-we-roam]

Kiiiiiinda stoked for you man...? A step closer anyway. Hopefully, nothing major and you will be back on the road again soon. 🙏ing to the classic car gods for ya!

[@michaelgideon6422]

haha I feel this comment. It's a roller coaster owning an old car. Thanks for being here for it

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Wait…WHAT? I didn’t see that coming! Hope all ended well…

[@michaelgideon6422]

I didn't either! haha I'll post a follow up video soon. Thanks for watching!

[@romankalyniuk2596]

Electrical bug. Hope a simple check of fuses and connectors solves it.

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks!

[@JoeMomma-mx8ek]

Who rebuilt your engine? I need mine rebuilt also.

[@mikejohnson599]

i loved my 912 back in the 70s but always fearful it would break down and bankrupt me like it did the previous owner but it never had a problem just rust in front pan to suspension but back then only 400 to fix

[@HO-palMNTSC]

Alternator issues...
