Saving a Vintage Porsche 911 Targa from the Scrapyard: Rebuild Part 6

[@Jonnyrockin71]

A moonshine still in the background would make this series just perfect. I love that wooden rig

[@MrBNARick]

Blast and paint EVERYTHING

[@1chish]

Amen to that. Its the detailed work that produces the result you want

[@292carroll]

MrBNARick Can’t stress that enough!

[@WRXBase]

YUP

[@gwbaker]

Absolutely! No point in going to all this effort if you won't spend the additional time to at the very least clean everything

[@a.d.7042]

exactly my thoughts! Take the extra time we will enjoy every minute of the build even if it will take over a year!!

[@pedrokd5439]

Get a tig for the more detailed welds, more versatile than a standard MIG welder. Keep up the great work. 🎉🎉

[@peterskeates509]

Good watching an obviously honest bloke doing what he enjoys. No need to apologise take your time do it right the 1st time.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Glad you’re enjoying ☺️

[@butchnelson5472]

Your a man after my own heart. Don’t worry about what you don’t have.worry about what you do have and improvise.adapt and overcome..Accomplish the mission. Keep thinking with your dip stick Jimmy! Enjoy seeing obtaining your goals. Make it so !

[@a.j.scalzitti1929]

Blast it and paint/coat everything on this car and it will last another 40 years; if it's worth doing it's worth doing right

[@1chish]

What he said

[@joshuah5542]

@@1chish what you both said

[@backcountrylifemagazine6912]

Definitely paint all replaced components....AND media blast everything to get rid of ANY rust....then repaint EVERYTHING. No sense doing all that work and leaving rusty bits.

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

Keep up the great videos

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

If you need parts let me know I have a bunch of stuff you can have.

[@trickysubject8563]

We are suitably entertained with what you do my friend, no need to apologise to anyone. 🇬🇧👁

[@BudgetBuildz]

😊

[@joelpalmer]

Excellent work. Would strongly suggest you take the extra time to detail and paint all the parts you take off to factory original finish before reinstalling them. Carry on

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you! I definitely will! Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

[@phillipwood9833]

@@BudgetBuildz I always use Hammerite Smoothrite on anything I use on my bikes. good finish and tough as old boots :D

[@BudgetBuildz]

Phillip Wood Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into that!

[@braydonscully4646]

Budget Buildz I would also strongly advise not putting any of the cleaned and repainted parts back on the chassis until you have it fully repaired and repainted. It will save you time and you will get a better result in the end.

[@michaelbrind9222]

dont use it on any of the panelwork not suited at all , it just comes off due to distortion and vibration

[@marygarner5249]

[@trentyoung1135]

Sand blast and paint to match the one you just replaced. Your Porsche is going to be awesome. Sand blast and paint as much as you can afford to do.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Sounds like a plan! Thank you! 🙂

[@1chish]

Hey respect for keeping going mate. Personally I would get all the pipe work and that steering rack off and not put any suspension back on. There is no need as you have the body fixed on that brilliant timber frame. Sometimes you just have to hold back on 'getting this bad boy back on its wheels'. You just take one step at a time with these sort of restorations. And as you are doing a great job with the panelwork don't let fittings get in your way. When all the floor is in and painted and sealed THEN get all the under parts back on. Oh and yes have those trailing arms back to original aluminium as they were built. Props mate from the other side of the Pond.

[@jessphuqette1716]

Okay everyone, let's help these guys out and send em a assortment of grinding discs, welding wire and a bucket of P.O.R. Keep up the great work.

[@djmrausch]

Love that you actually took the feedback well. Great that you’ll change the whole bottom section. Sandblast everything and EP prime it before welding the panels in. Starting to look like a decent job :)

[@dh7277]

new floor board looks great. ambitious project. can't wait for the next video.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you! I’ll keep them coming!

[@okgo8315]

This is a great and courageous project. I did a similar one in the 70s, a 911s wide body ex racer rebuilt completely for road use, on a budget too so I am loving this. It will be expensive believe me...sorry. It's so good to get to know all the people in your area who can help with parts.... used or new, and specialised engineering shops too. Wishing you all the best from Rome🇬🇧

[@davidp2888]

I love your optimism, your dedication and how you're saving a really cool car.

[@BudgetBuildz]

☺️☺️

[@Jddvs]

Agree with those that say to blast and refinish parts and undercarriage to original look. Love how you improvise when special tools would be needed. I’m enjoying this build!

[@BudgetBuildz]

I’ll definitely do so! Glad you’re enjoying! 🙂

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

I am amazed by you and your dad experience taking cars apart and rebuilding them. You had a awesome dad to help you.

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

Dude, you are the most ambitious builder out there. This is way more work than it is worth, BUT I am sure it will be amazing when it is done.

[@paulbellas8797]

Watched this entire series from when you posted the first video. Great job restoring

[@malcolmscott9566]

Looks like you have a pretty solid car and I like the way you guys work. Its real life, getting the job done with the tools you have available. No fuss, just making do.

[@BudgetBuildz]

😊😊

[@fjoseracing]

Another great vid!!👍 really pleased to see you actually drill spotwelds and use all the new metal instead of just cut and burn in patches! That really pleases an old bodyguy!👍👍 Remeber to use weld-thru primer and paint everything! And then Flud Film the crap out of it! 😂👍 Doing things on a budget takes time,doing it right also takes time! No need to apologize!👍 keep up the good work!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Glad you’re enjoying! Thanks so much! I’ll definitely get some weld thru primer! 😊

[@okgo8315]

Good advice 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@gp500fan]

Seeing this pop up just made my day!! I'm already looking forward to the next one!

[@BudgetBuildz]

I’m glad 😊 I’ll get you all another one very soon!

[@sriramdoss4304]

I would suggest you to strip the car completely, sand blast it, fix the holes and then assemble it again.. that way the car will look good.

[@crestindustriesinc.9908]

Amazing! Super happy to see your progress. Nice to see a guy just working in the yard with what he's got, showing folks that it CAN be done.

[@davidepperson2376]

Hey buddy - thank you for sharing this project with us. And permit me to say, showing your mistakes (wrong banana arm) is terrific. It's helpful to the viewer as it shows you don't have to be an expert to do something like this. And quite frankly, it's attractive as it shows you're not above making a mistake - that's humility right there, and very much unlike so many other youtubers. Thanks again!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️ glad to have you!

[@spavliskojr]

Definitely blast and repaint everything. If it comes off the car, it goes back on cleaned, painted and refreshed. Those details will go a long way in the end quality.

[@amaxxio]

Great inspiration. Thanks a lot! All the best from Germany!

[@ronluckenbach9492]

No need to apologize..love watching this..I did something like this with my 69 912. You are a young guy, but a true Gentkeman from the ‘old school’ a rare commodity these days. It’s good that you throw out questions to your viewing audience..you know a lot, but free advice from guys who’ve down this before is always a plus. Carry on Laddie!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️ I’m really glad you’re enjoying!

[@robertrenner5896]

Nice solid work. I like the trailing arms painted. They look great.

I envisioned a Porsche tech cringing at your methods of hub removal. Great work keep it up. My all time favorite car!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Haha maybe! Thank you! 🙂

[@tomrees2221]

No need to apologise, part of the reason the channel is so great is that it's real and authentic, just a nice bloke bringing cars back to life in his spare time. Your targa build even inspired me to take a gamble and buy a Porsche 986 boxster that needs some love as I wanted to save porsche from being parted out over one I saw that was fine. Keep making the videos buddy, it's great viewing!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you for the kind words! ☺️ glad you have you following along!

[@iwanthomas4902]

With the running gear off.. I would be preparing the wheel wells and painting them up then refit the running gear..

[@MrJneesy]

i would recommend cleaning and painting every single part before assembly it will make for a much nicer finished product (including every nut screw and bolt)

You two guys rock love your work and the working together I really miss that with my dad.

[@graemelliott3942]

Great video guys🍺 if you haven welded the pans in yet replace the fuel line especially if it’s one of the plastic fuel lines and inspect the wiring harnesses too. It’s a rare opportunity to have that tunnel off. There guys who make stainless steel fuel lines to upgrade from the crappy plastic ones.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you 🙂 and Thank you for the input! We’ll definitely check everything over and be sure to replace anything that needs replacing before we weld the new pans in! A stainless fuel line sounds like a great idea!

[@graemelliott3942]

Budget Buildz I tho there is a plastic fuel return line to that should be replaced as well

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

Seing the amount of work on this car i understand why it was scrapped in the first place. A workshop bill could buy a complete new Porsche. It is great to see it restored by love and dedication alone. We who love cars is a dying breed.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you! 🙂 glad you’re enjoying! I sure hope not!

[@supercooldud]

The video was well worth the wait. Great progress! I personally think you should continue making all of the parts look as best as you can make them before putting them back on, As long as you don't get burned out by doing it. Forget whatever the factory finish was, this car is yours.

[@BudgetBuildz]

I definitely do want everything to look good and be right! I’ll definitely give the underneath some more attention! Thank you!

[@mikechan231]

My friend you are living the dream. I hope I get to do something like this someday!

Haha! Yes we are back! 😃

[@alextegg3838]

Coming along nicely! Same as others have said, if you’re doing it you may as well do it right. Blast and paint or powder coat everything. You’ll be happier with it in the end. It may take longer if you have to wait for funds, but it will definitely be worth it!

Thank you! I definitely will!

One comment if no one else already did: unless you tell me you'll change the windshield and rear window, please put something against it to protect it from sparks when grinding or welding or you'll have to throw it away. Other than that you seem to be going at it the right way....

[@AndySomogyi]

If you’re only replacing a section of the floor, are you going to butt weld the sections together ? That’s going to be really hard getting a tight gap that won’t need much filler rod. I thing you’re much better off removing the whole floor, and welding in back at the factory pinch weld. This will be a much easier joint, as the pinch weld is designed to be clamped and welded. It will also be much stronger and will look a lot better .

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind!
