For any others with the slow wiper issue, it is very likely that it needs to have the spindles and pivot points in the linkage cleaned up and lubed. If it isn't, that same motor/assembly is used in a bunch of VWs, including the microbus, so finding a functioning replacement should be easy and cheap.

Wow, I have a 1980 924 turbo sitting in my garage that got put away @ 7 years ago. An aluminum fitting going into the oil pan got cracked by a pothole on LSD, (Lake Shore Drive). As long as I didn't completely fill the oil, say 3/4 full on dipstick, she ran fine. Watching you these past couple of weeks is inspiring me to get back under the hood on this and a couple of issues you have Thoroughly addressed. Thanks again, perhaps I will be messaging you in the near future! The Porsche ad when I got mine was, "At Porsche, nothing else even comes close."

[@AutoAnatomy]

Definitely get it back on the road! If you need some help, email me at [e-mail] and I'll be more than happy to help. If I'm up in your neck of the woods, would love to come see the car and help you get it running! Sean

This was a great series to watch, thanks for all of the informative videos on the 924. I just got one!

[@justinmckeown9029]

Bittersweet. I found the channel while looking for 924 content to help with fixing up my 924S. It’s the most wholesome channel around, so I’ll be looking forward to your future endeavors. I’d love to see a driving review of what a 924 turbo in tip-top shape drives like before it goes to a new home.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you Justin, sincerely. I'll be doing a full review including driving here shortly. I'd love to do another Porsche in the future, and if the right one comes up then maybe next! Sean

[@justinmckeown9029]

@@AutoAnatomy looking forward to it! Until then, good luck and safe travels with your upcoming move!

[@hampusthor9199]

This video series of the 924 actually inspired me to buy a 924 of my own and fix it up, Thank You!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the 924 as much as I do!

[@GUNPLASHOP]

I also have a broken reverse light and the wiper motor is very slow. Thank you for showing me the work I will do in the future as it is in the video. :)

[@vintagethunderbirdrepair9426]

Hey Sean, that was a very cool project and learned some things along the way. So your moving to South Carolina? I wish you the best of luck and hope to see more of your videos soon. Health and happiness in your new adventures back east. Take care, Nick

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks Nick! I'll definitely come see you before we leave

[@hawkeye7249]

Enjoyed watching this series , I started watching because I watch a lot of Porsche content and your channel popped up , look forward to your next project whenever and whatever it may be .

[@AutoAnatomy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@fruangensporschegarage8431]

I bet that the slow wipers is gummed up bushings in the linkage thru the cowl. Usually is...

[@djmjr77]

You could use basting tape and an iron for the top fold.. less messy and the fold will be more defined and sharp

[@servicetechnician3264]

Hey Sean, I really enjoyed watching you bring this 924 back to life! I am looking forward to see what your next project will be. Good luck with your move to South Carolina. George B. in Michigan

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks George, I'm looking forward to the next project as well and finally getting settled in SC. Many new projects and collaborations coming very soon! Sean

[@janobolbotow5245]

Any sewing job the best glue to be use is Rubber Glue!It is much better than spray glue used here!When set up rubber glue is very easy to work with and sewing machine is working as it should.Glue used here will cause needle to get stuck -very messy finish.

[@Pshady]

Gives me more confidence in taking on my dream project, thanks!

[@juanmiguelcortarello6823]

What a transformation. Excellent result. Congratulations!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!!

[@eamonnmartin3704]

very enjoyable series , was hoping you would do a walk around at the end

[@AutoAnatomy]

It’s still for sale at Porsche of Colorado Springs, and they have a bunch of high quality pictures. www.porschecoloradosprings.com/vehicle-details/used-1980-porsche-924-turbo-project-colorado-springs-co-id-47807768

[@garagecedric]

A great series, very well done. I like your attitude towards problems, you just try it fix them methodically, no complaining :) , the car deserves a last "good by" drive video when its now finished and runs and looks nicely

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks buddy, I'll make a driving and walkaround video here soon.

[@mkofftiger]

As the irrepressible Texas journalist, Molly Ivins, would've said this car has a high Elvis quotient. Congratulations...enjoyed sharing the rebirth.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank ya, thank ya very much

[@magnetpull7587]

I'm sad to see this series come to an end but glad you did such a good job in documenting your repairs. I hope it helps keeping some 924s on the streets

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you, and hopefully so!

[@timolorenz9522]

Hey man! It‘s just so interesting and entertaining to watch your videos, you’re a cool person ! I‘m a young guy and got a 924 as well and now gonna restore a 944 that‘s been sitting on a junkyard for over 20 years. It will take years ’cause i‘m not that experienced as you for example but to see other people doing this stuff just keeps me motivated. Keep going your great stuff. Have a good one :)

[@AutoAnatomy]

Hi Timo! Thanks for the kind words, and let me know if I can help get your 924 or 944 back on the road! Sean

[@bigdan-meca]

Bravo pour ton travail sur ta Porsche. Vivement la prochaine vidéo, et merci pour tes vidéos qui nous aide beaucoup. Merci mon ami

[@AutoAnatomy]

Merci beaucoup mon ami. En espérant faire revivre une autre Porsche bientôt.

[@shin-pad1052]

Excellent series, well done from Norwich 🇬🇧

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!

[@stevekovacs6250]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your progress on this project and can't wait to see what's next. Cheers!!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks a bunch!

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

Love the interior work.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks!

[@BFord-ho3pq]

Sell it on Bring a Trailer. With the video documentation of everything you've done, it will do well. Great series on the 924. I'll miss tuning in.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!

[@xxBoilerMakerxx]

How much material would you recommend buying to cover both doors?

[@AutoAnatomy]

I would say 2-3 yards. I have some left over from mine if you could use it

[@xxBoilerMakerxx]

@@AutoAnatomy That's super generous. I sent you an email.

[@willharris9139]

has the 931 been sold yet? what is/was the price?

[@AutoAnatomy]

The 931 sold to the Porsche dealership, for around 6k

[@DSimmons1265]

Hope your next project is a 944. If you sort it in the same manner as the 924 you'd be a 944 hero. Lol

[@AutoAnatomy]

Maybe so! That would be fun

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Thats a lot of plaid, wow

[@AutoAnatomy]

I agree, and it's glorious!

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

@@AutoAnatomy LOL,, right on
