Neal, you can always contact Mat Armstrong...He has experience with heavily damaged cars en also al lot of Porsche knowledge. He just bought a 911 GT 3😛

[@ojmbvids]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the part-repair putting people off. It would be a huge red flag for me - I'd be thinking the seller has found something serious making it uneconomical to repair. The fact that the body panels are on but not fitted well - perhaps they've assumed the chassis must be twisted? Fingers crossed for a good result - should be an interesting series!

[@proooooost]

In true youtubers style, taking on a risky project, a wannahave we can relate to. You got us on the edge off our seat! Well done, too bad you did not have foottage of the transport drama.😂

[@alancampbell1008]

Hope it's as straightforward as you think Neil. Going to make a nice car and hopefully this one will bring more to your channel though why people don't like the Italian stuff fails me! Punto is looking nice in the background.

Yeah punto is coming on well. Might be a video on it next week

[@paulchinnery6560]

The cooling hoses around the front are a known weak point on all Boxster's/Cayamn's I have a 987 Boxster and a Cayman S I have replaced all the parts on both cars in recent years. I would start with a fresh set of all parts, it cost me about £200 for a set.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Nice. So far it's holding water. You will see in next episode

[@Paul_VanGo]

Well, in real Wheeler Dealers' style you only need to refresh the ATF in the gearbox and it's all good again. 😋

[@Modshmockers]

Looks like it could be a decent buy. You have all the skills to repair this, it'll just be the price of Porsche parts😫 Matt Armstrong has repaired a Cayman, that might be worth a look

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah been following mat for a while now. He got the idea of a porsche in my head.

[@jakerade1]

@@ItaliaAutos You need to have a very close look at that front tub under the carpet etc - replacing one on a 981 at the moment. I think the floor looks bent as the three grommets should be level. I would have the front bumper off and check the crash bar as well. And the rear bumper as very easy to damage the corner under the light and the rear wing mechanism is made of chocolate..... Keep up the good work!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Hi. Front end is off from what I can tell its front end perfectly useable still. I'll tell more once i do a test fit of all the panels. I will be checking out the rear end over the next few weeks when it's striped for paint.

[@jakerade1]

@@ItaliaAutos 👍- to do the cooling pipe that crosses to the other side you need to drop the subframe

[@karlos1060]

Gratz Neil on your Porche and birthday! My brother also bought a Porche, a 911/996 one with a 3.6 liter boxter and a automatic gearbox. I don''t have that urge as a middle age man to buy it nore have the money to 😁 But i think you did very well on the purchase 23250 pounds and you are a very well mechanic so you will sort out everything and make it like new! And it's nice to see something else then a Alfa repair although i love Alfa Romeo's!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thankyou. Nice car.

Excellent....I had a 986s cat n and had a great time in it .was already repaired .they are special cars and and a load of fun .you'll love it .found it pretty reasonable to run and live with .used to be able to get 8 bags of sand in it having 2 boots very practical.

Nice. Looking forward to my first drive

Look forward to seeing this come back to its prior state. The windscreens in 718’s do tend to just say Pilkington. I’ve looked at quite a few and all were the same. Enjoy the project!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers. Its going well so far.

[@vincentcrisci3193]

Neil, there is a wealth of knowledge out there in the forums, one thing is for sure your years of skills and knowledge repairing / working on crazy Italian autos is all you need to tame this well built German Porsche. Plus no issues with getting new or used parts and bar specialist parts (PASM shocks etc) Porsche parts I think are reasonable...Good luck, looks forward to seeing the journey you will have a great car when its done.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Awesome thanks for the comment. At the moment it seems parts aren't to bad

[@jujujonbitcoinisplanbcrypt9618]

Ooo exciting buy! I think it's hasn't been snapped up as there is a hell of alot of work that needs doing and the price of porsche parts are going to be expensive. From watching mat Armstrong (to grow the channel maybe you could meet up when he is back from the us) only from Leicestershire so close enough, anyway when rebuilding his cayman he found some parts cheaper as they were from a audi or volvo etc good luck with the build 😎👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Porsche prices new are cheaper than ebay used stuff

[@Peter56Persson]

You must have nerves of steel? ;-) Best regards and Thank You from Sweden!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Most definitely. Thanks for watching.

[@mikeboden8417]

I wish you lots of luck with this one Neil, but if you think Italian engineers have their moments you are about to learn that The German variant hate mechanic`s with a vengeance. From the state of the tires it looks like the previous owner was less than fussy about maintenance and as it has had other hands into the repairs I would suggest taking those panels off and starting from scratch or at least a serious coat of looking at.

[@ItaliaAutos]

So far so good.

[@robinoconnor1203]

The Cayman Mat Armstrong repaired was worse than yours, although the coolant pipe issue is a concern. You should be okay. You asked what can go wrong with a Porsche? as an owner, I would say everything! Design 911 is a good parts source for new stuff.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah mats car was bad. I'm working my way through the faults slowly

[@dannydkasel8296]

Porsche Parts are so aweful expensive and without original parts, this car will never geht its real worth. Everything over 20k pounds is ridiculous. All four suspensions, all whisbones and bearings must be renewed, painted in original colour in Porsche Quality ... big job, but you handle it. Nice project :-)

[@ItaliaAutos]

Already put an expense order in at porsche

Can't wait to watch this get fixed up!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Me too. Really looking forward to the final test drive in a few months.

[@kevgermany]

Friend of mine did something like this spinning his Boxster S on wet roads. Bill was huge. Structural, AFIK floor pan etc. One thing to check: exhaust wasn't damaged.... But a few months later the manifold broke. Guessing that was cracked in the prang and not picked up. The other thing is that in Germany a car like this that's accident free is worth a lot more than accident repaired... So even after the repairs by Porsche, the car lost a lot in value.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah lots of hidden damage.

[@andrewmarriott4033]

Lovely car hope you get it back to its former glory

[@ItaliaAutos]

Fingers crossed 🤞

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

Welcome to the dark side! You will love the way Porsches are put together.

Enjoying it so far. As you will see in the next episode

[@howardlake6178]

that is a glorious looking one of these. And with that specification, it’ll be great fun for you when it’s done. From watching a lot of these videos, it will come apart easily. A dearly departed Fiat/Alfa mechanic had a 355. he said ‘bits are expensive, but the principles are the same’. I think people get scared of names like Porsche and Ferrari, or run out of money

[@ItaliaAutos]

In the next episode I tackle lots of stuff and it's all quite simple

[@TassieLorenzo]

But at least the 355 is a nice Italian car and not German!

[@rickydub6950]

Its only nuts and bolts as my mechanic mate says 😁 you can do it i'm sure 😎💪

[@ItaliaAutos]

Been cracking on with it all week. Done a fair bit. Still loads to do

[@rickydub6950]

@Italia Autos mat Armstrong rebuilt a 718 cayman from a wreck, not too clued up on Porches but i think its pretty much a hardtop boxster. May be worth a watch for research purposes 👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Already seen it. That's what got me onto porsches

[@richfixescars]

Good project Neil! The respray and parts prices might push it close to the edge though. Remember often they are just VAG parts, so always Google the part number. Zuffenhaus Porsche specialist are south Birmingham.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Used parts are crazy. New are better value I've found

[@michaelstaley2241]

I still prefer blogs about Italian cars and Alfa especially; but nevertheless it will Be interesting.

[@sportshatch]

Rob nor Chris would have gone near that car at that price. That floor repair and rear quarter are a deal breaker. Plus selling a cat S at £35000 + is difficult.

[@Brisbane2024]

Fortunately that crash happens to a Porsche and not to an Alfa 😉 Wish you good luck by repairing that car. I believe that the former owner was completely overstrained with the repair and/or the related costs!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah big bills already on this one

[@drincogni]

My friend is a porscheFCA specialist for the country dealership.i was asking him about moving from 159 to a porsche.He told me porsche are overpacked and basicly i learn a very bad design.They kept on adding and adding pumping testosterone an old car design.Even if u can afford dont he told me.prefer to buy a Lexus than a Porsche.The TUV says it all and stocks value of all German car companies says it after 2000s all german cars have gone down down down.The lifetime of their cars is 4 to 5 years at best.But neal as your a car mechanic with your own shop u are best place to attempt such a case.i wish i was your neighbour

the secret is buy what you want/like not what other people tell you to buy, because at the end of the day its your car. thanks for watching :-)

[@TassieLorenzo]

Oh boy! You're gonna need a VAGCom or OBDEleven system I guess Neil, or whatever it is for Porsche, if it's different for normal VWs and Audis. It's no Maserati or Ferrari, but it'll do I guess. 😉

It is Italian and the name itself gives people an idea of luxury and opulence....Although the reality is much more humble, the badge itself might give You those wanted view`s if You choose wisely...Maybe a 3200GT with some light cosmetic issues or a Quattroporte V with sketchy service history????
