That last clip, when driving the car off the grass, I saw that street and expected ... nah.. Back to the garage it went, fair enough, a sign of a mature man. . Loved the series, subbed and ding donged.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Saving the 1st proper drive for the last video next month

[@rayborg7378]

It just looks great thanks to you .The car just looks the part now nearly new.

[@Peter56Persson]

Very interesting series, thank you!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers

[@johnpidgeon5810]

Excellent Neil thank you

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks for watching

[@johnpidgeon5810]

@ItaliaAutos really enjoy your post Neil thank you

[@paultaylor9652]

You need deep pockets to repair and own a Porsche, but it's coming along very nicely now Neil.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yep. Spend the morning on it today fitting those last few parts

[@daniellee9015]

Absolutely brilliant video Neil ❤👍 she's looking beautiful

[@ItaliaAutos]

Sure us.

[@Modshmockers]

Great job Neil, looking forward to seeing it finished. Gloss black for the wheels is a good choice

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers.

[@smart3k]

You should be proud of that mate it's beautiful

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers

[@andrewmarriott4033]

Great choice on the wheels looks amazing can’t wait to see the finished article 👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers. Hope to have it on the road by july

[@a11csc]

cool

[@autoazure]

Yes Neil, some nice decisions, really like that colour, wheels look fantastic and no expense spared it seems regarding even the smallest of items!

[@ItaliaAutos]

If I cut corners I wouldn't be happy.

[@anthonybrand6137]

The Boxster is looking really good Neil, & the 'new' black wheels really complement the grey paintwork. Looking forward to the next episode! 👍👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah I'm happy with them

[@richfixescars]

Looks tidy Neil. Will be a good summer drive. The exhaust will be expensive though.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah hence thats a luxury fix if I've got the ££

[@sparkyoc6766]

Looking great, Neil. Expensive business but she'll be worth it.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Hopefully she will. Thanks for watching

[@josephmifsud8261]

Looks fabulous. I think the gloss black wheels suit it much better. Yes, you've spent £33675 but 1) you have the car of your dreams and 2) you would have to spend more than that to get one that's probably not as well sorted as your one.

[@ItaliaAutos]

45k to get one with similar spec

[@josephmifsud8261]

@@ItaliaAutos fair enough. You got a bargain and with your skills have saved cash to put into the petrol tank

[@TheEarlofK]

Looking good. I'm amazed how modern car panels simply clip-on these days.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yep it's all Clip on.

[@kamamiri4899]

Salut, beau résultat. 👍🚗👏Good job in french.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Merci d'avoir regardé

[@peacelove5080]

Great job

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers

[@Nalleman64]

Really nice car! 🤩👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks

[@marcbrasse747]

Take it from a Dutchman: “Total spenT so far”. 😉

[@terrymolloy6997]

Looking great Neil, not sure on black wheels but understand colour matching👍

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers. I couldn't of stuck with green looking wheels and didn't want to pay twice so got the, done a different colour.

[@RyderGaming]

Great video Neil! In my opinion you do you, regarding what car/brand to work on. I'm mostly here for the Alfa videos (I'm driving a facelifted Giulietta) but I'm also here for your personality.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Cheers. Thanks for watching

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Looks really great but that flat 6 engine is no Busso V6 ! Sounds rough on idle !

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah I agree the flat 4 isn't a great sound but add a decent exhaust and it's ok

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Will be a nice car. Just dont leave it on any public car parks!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Oh no way.

[@TheWynne71]

Cracking job this far. Keep at it! How do you find the fittings/clips etc compared to an Alfa of that era?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Most of it is held together by clips

[@TheWynne71]

@@ItaliaAutos Interesting. I went from three Alfas (159x 2 and a GT Q2) to a 2008 E92 325i. Found the Beemer to be so much more forgiving to work on. All the clips/brackets/screws etc just went back on. Never had that luxury on the Alfas.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Lots of clips where missing on the porsche. Things like this you only realise when rebuildingand when 2 other parties tried to repair it.

[@Codzilla71]

When looking to buy a repaired cat c (or s) is there a general percentage figure you take off when compared to standard?

[@ItaliaAutos]

30-40% less than market value

[@ajcgolf69]

Car looks great already Neil, even if you go a bit over budget you should still be well on the right side of things value wise compared to if you’d have bought one in finished condition

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yeah I'm doing OK. Priced up a the same car but new. £72000. Ouch.

[@therushden]

how are german cars to work on? much different to the normal italian fair you get in?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Fundamentally, there all the same, and once you know your way around your good.

[@hamzah3138]

Excellent work. 👌

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks

[@CarlosOliveira-dg9wy]

I follow your channel, and I usually like your service, the repairs and rebuilds I see here. However, you fail on the details. From a distance, everything seems perfect, but if we look closely, there is a discrepancy in color/tone between the body pieces with original paint and the ones now painted. I know that it was not you who painted the parts/car. Naturally, things were not done as they should be done, they painted the parts outside the car, when they should have painted the parts, then put them on the car and finished painting with different approximate shades so that there was a "mix/blent" and the transition was not easily noticed. (I don't know the correct term/words in English because I'm Portuguese) Also since I´m writing, I have to say that I don't like the welding repair service that you sometimes do on the underside of the cars. You cut, weld a piece of sheet metal and paint it. You leave the work completely different from the original, it is very ugly to say the least... looks a botch. As a customer, I would never accept a metal job done that way. it's completely amateurish to say the least. If you're a mechanic then only do your job because that's in what you're good at... sheet metal and painting are professions that maybe it's good to leave it to others to do.
