Brilliant and inspiring work, Jon - thank you so much for creating these videos. I felt sorry to read that you were not getting the recognition and support you deserve for these very instructive and entertaining videos. I am hoping to see more videos from you and I trust you got her back on the road… ❤

Johann...Thank you so much for your valuable time and considerable effort to crate and publish this library of restorative adventures. Your work has inspired me to work on my 968 that has been parked since the kids went to college . Then after surviving a widow-maker....my thoughts and energy to bring my 968 back to life- faded. So, Thank you for making a difference. I really, really appreciate your great work.

Looks brillant . I am doing my 968 Coupé since 2022. But i needed to change the cams. At the end i did the hohle Engine. What i wantet to say ,: Nobody should leave the costs of those out of the eyes. The Parts are very expensive and it is a Lot of work . Regards from Austria

Thank you! I agree, I do my best to inspect every single component and replace where neccesary. I am sure there are still many surpises still waiting for me with this car.

That engine bay looks brand new. This car will drive as it good looks I’m sure. As always a pleasure to watch and thanks for sharing

Fantastic, great overhaul - you must be getting more and more keen to see how it drives! I did a similar scope as you on my U.S. 968 white convertible back in January before shipping it over to the North of Italy where I now live. Koni yellow's (softest setting) and new discs. Front end is still not super tight and looking at the bushings now, going from easy to harder, starting with the anti-roll bar bushings, then the arm perhaps. Part of it might also just also be related to the inherent body flex of the cab. Still a joy to drive but will give it a good go to see how much improvement I can make.

Yes, the cabs have quite some flex. I put mine on the middle setting, hopefully I can start driving her this summer 🤞

The rear bearings could have suffered from the water…

Yes, that is possible, but they sound ok. I’ll take the risk 😅

Johann, have you stopped work on the 968?

@GarageBiljon Ай бұрын

Hi @@davidwhite5152, I have not stopped, but I have not really had anything I can turn into. KZbin video yet. I will post an update soon though.

Brilliant work Jon! Been there, done that on suspension. With the flooding, did you already redo wheel bearings?

@GarageBiljon 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Jeff, I have not replaced the wheelbearings (yet) all four sound really good, so I don't think any water found it's way past the seals, but time will tell.
