Without doubt one of the best ‘Yessss’ reactions from Rob there !!! Just brilliant 👍👍👍

[@sruk]

How you got to that bit already tut tut 👍

[@ChishanFipz]

@@sruk I heard you shout from here - I'm in Gillingham!

[@sarahfrith1984]

I love when Rob gets excited and gets the jump pack out, like a kid at Xmas 🤣 I’d be exactly the same, I don’t possess any patience 😂😂

[@philtucker1224]

Rob seems to still have all that schoolboy excitement and enthusiasm that often fades away as men mature.

[@stikkiedd67]

Couldn't sum him up any planer "kid in a sweet shop" @philtucker1224 😂😂

Same engines can b a pain in the butt!

[@davesclassicgaragetours]

I love the way Rob takes you along for the journey and you feel just as excited as he is when he gives it the “YES!”

[@G40daily]

It’s common for Porsche engines to smoke from cold if they’ve been sitting as you get some oil seepage through the valve stem oil seals, which then sits in the flat cylinders. Probably did it a favour having a bit of extra oil in the cylinders for a will it start. Nice one!

[@kw8757]

Air/Oil Separator can cause it too, easy fix for Rob if needed.

[@keegan773]

Chris will be delighted with this runner when he gets back.

[@bigdtailing1950]

As a detailer be careful of that mould everywhere buddy that sort of stuff hospitalised a mate of mine

[@philtucker1224]

What a brilliant example Rob! That’s hardly run-in! As they say, “the harder you work the luckier you get” 😊

[@barrywood5357]

Large portion of Kudos to you Rob for persevering and hitting the goal of getting it running. a nice detail and that will be a differant motor cant wait to see chris,s face on this one crack on

[@SabretoothBarnacle]

Alway got to be a bit careful with leaving the pump not 100% torqued down when testing. Not because of the obvious risks but because any EVAP system can throw a hissy that pressures are wrong which then can start to throw out trims etc as you in effect introducing an air leak to the engine. Nice work fellas, a satisfying episode 😊

[@Scooopdog]

Once again a magic vlog hearing you scream when engines fire up Rob is gold and why we all love the show. 👍👍👍🦾🦾😂keep up the good work lads.

[@JAYG6390]

I love how despite having worked on no doubt countless non runners to get them running, you're still excited when they do run. This looks like a lovely little car and maybe one for you or Chris to keep 😀

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello BOTH, good to know that Chris is having a well earned rest in the sunshine. Hey Rob, you are not the only person who gets excited , here is me bouncing up and down waiting for the engine to start, so it did, and having had a dealership service recently, the engine runs well! After so much effort in checking everything over ROB - including that fuel pump, you deserve to be so pleased with yourself. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@kristian5515]

Rob, you are the best - love your entusiasm - your presenter-skills are brilliant! Thanks for a very nice video!

[@valvemonky4734]

just a comment on the smoke when you started it there is a thing called a air oil separater can be seen at 16:45 the round black thing they can fail and put a lot of oil in to the engin it has a diaphragm in that can fail . as the smoke cleared after a bit it probably isn't a problem but always worth concidering

[@stephentudball4723]

You can tell although the car is dirty, it's so clean mechanically.......what a beauty😊

[@Hassan123H]

Can’t wait to see this car cleaned up. The excitement you have is infectious!

[@jayr9361]

Another good videos Rob and Chris and also good to see the Business expanding with the work going on & paint booth etc... it would make for good watching if you and Chris recruited an apprentice; you could both teach them things they would never learn off any other mechanics or classroom

[@MrNwapp]

Cracking find there, Rob. And well done for getting it running and driving. Looking forward to the content on this one.

[@randomvideouploader2022]

I love the will it start videos 😅when you shout yesssss it is such a joyful moment it genuinely makes me happy mate

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob, great video and everyone is so pleased for you. I think Chris will be well impressed. Thank you for taking their time to upload another video . Ged.

[@georgepaterson4825]

Nice one Rob looking forward to seeing the next one and also Chris's reaction when you drive into the workshop 😊

[@Lambip1]

Will be watching the progress on this one. Nice one Rob and keep up the great work 👏

[@stephenricketts7764]

With such low mileage it will be worth all the effort. Well done Rob for sticking at it and getting it to run. I agree with you on the fuel pump replacement but it was worth putting that old one back in just to hear it run and it sounds sweet. Thanks Rob and Chris for another exciting video on 'will it run'? 👍👍

[@Stevesixty7]

What a result getting in running Rob. Sounds lovely and seems to drive nice too, albeit a few runs up and down the yard. Looking forward to this one. It'll be a gem when you and Chris are finished with it. 👍

[@GRfourfun]

YES Rob, good for you mate and Chris. Lovely low miler, love vids like this!

[@peterdiamant8506]

Your smile and enthusiasm is infectious. I love that about you guys. The passion is why we all watch. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris what a beautiful car well done Rob for sticking at it to get it to run take care both 🙂👍

[@jasonreynolds1347]

I love how excited you got when you fired it up. You can tell this is a cracking car 👍🏻Well done 👏🏻

[@wynhughes9072]

So happy for you Rob. Felt ecstatic with you when it fired up. When it was smoking I thought bore scoring, but that problem was on the 3.4/3.6. But it cleared. Great. Looking forward to the up and coming videos.

[@Leehuss5582]

Happy Birthday Chris.... Two LEGENDS Chris and Rob

[@trainmanbob]

You had every right to worry about the smoke. Cars bought "for a good price" are rarely this good, so naturally you go looking for faults. Sometimes Rob you find a little gem, and you certainly have here. You have done enough cars in your life to have a little more confidence in your judgement and like anyone mistakes happen but not that often. Chris should be showering praise on you for this one and with the addition of his magic touch this should be an absolute winner. Cheers, Bob

[@Simon-ry1lw]

These will it start videos are fantastic, especially something like a well loved boxster, can't wait to see you iron out all the issues and get it looking spotless again

[@wnewton2682]

The blue smoke you noted is often caused by the AOS (air-oil separator) system. I would suggest the diaphragm in the AOS needs replacement due to age and inaction.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob & Chris, now this is an interesting find guys, how about that genuine mileage too..!! Looking forward to the progress of the Porsche..👍👍👍. Alex.

[@johndrew3202]

I wonder if Chris will let you loose again while he has a trip away? One thing for sure, it's a long time since you have had such a smile after a days work on a new project. Well done Rob and I'm looking forward to the progress reports.

[@germulqueen3002]

That's a bit of a result, Rob; getting the car to start & seeing the exhaust fumes disappear! Looking forward to seeing how the car looks ,by the time it's ready to go up for sale! 👍🙂

[@danapier702]

Rob I love how you still get excited. Can’t wait to see how it turns out

[@nigeltoon1848]

Nice find. Windows might need a reset after fitting the new battery. And it’s Tayna for batteries, not Tanya.

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

Great to see this Boxster brought back to running condition. If the old fuel is pre-ethanol it might even run on that stuff mixed with some fresh petrol. I bet that will be a fun little car and brilliant to use with the top down in the sunshine. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@robstevens6590]

Best vid yet.... Great that it runs and your enthusiasm is infectious. Nice one Rob

[@jamiereith6912]

Great video guys, I love the sense of excitement when wishing the car to live again. I think its why we love the channel, always varied but never missing the detail!!

[@iansinclair7581]

Great to see something that makes your day.😊 Looking forward to see the finished article.

Ok, you're right. The 1st Ferrari rebuild video was posted 1st April 2019.. have enjoyed every single video since! Aussie Fan!!

[@marcp108]

Love this Porshe can wait to see the finished product. Interior reminds me of a Golf I once had. Left the car sitting in the street for a few months while overseas - came home and the entire interior was covered in mould - some how moisture had got in.

[@ausmartin1]

Man the Humidity in England must be shocking to cause that much mould compared to us Australians.

[@user-pl2dz1bh9g]

Well done for taking the risk rob,glad it runs ,let’s hope theirs a good profit in it for you and Chris.

Delighted you got it started you got so excited and rightly so . That will clear up lovely inside.

[@timbaker7994]

Well done rob you are such a great guy to watch you explain what you are doing you said it was the fual pump and as usual spot on chris would be proud of you when he gets back next holiday is yours rob well done can’t wait for Saturday video 😊

[@stevedane787]

Well done that man! Lovely to hear the car and see it driving as well. Judging by the state of the steering wheel and the door card there will be an interior clean video as well as a sort the fuel pump, the windows and any other gremlins video. Going to be a great project for the channel and a nice little earner for you and Chris

You got me shouting Yes when the car started!. Good deep clean and a little TLC. Your on a winner here.

[@robbiemulholland6477]

Great video. It made me smile when you got excited that it started! That engine sounded sweet. From what I’ve heard, smoke on a cold start can be the air/oil separator. Bit like a crankcase breather. Bit fiddly to change, but not too expensive 👍

[@terrylester4234]

What a cracking video Rob. It was so nice to hear the elation in your voice. Well done and keep 'em coming. 😊

Excellent video as always. Looking forward to seeing how you deal with the mould on the roof, as I have that problem.

[@keithweybury5212]

Great buy Rob and to see you so excited was a gem. Lets see how the Porsche comes out via the rebuild.

[@Harpy-Mark-Tomlinson]

Take a look at the driveshaft/gearbox oil seals. They are susceptible to drying out and weeping if not used for a long time. Lovely motor.

[@paulbeecham8313]

[@paulroberts237]

This is a great video Rob. Just loved it. Can’t wait for the update! Will you, or do you need to purge the fuel tank in this situation???

[@JB-996]

What a brilliant 'barn find'! That will clean up really nicely and make a fantastic weekend toy. I've got one but it's a year younger, They are great fun cars!

[@mrcogginsgarage7062]

Well done Rob couple of things before you go too far with it ,firstly the soft top has to be programmed for the correct sequence,that should sort out the problem with the electric window operation as well,also the hood lifting linkage on both sides gets very sticky when not used for long periods,give it a good clean and soak the links in some Bulldog BDX is you can get you hands on some . Looks like you lads are on too a good one here cheers.

[@roryhouston8305]

What a steel fellas i think that will clean up lovely. Hope chris had a good weekend away. Cant wait to see what you do with the car next

[@generalt1090]

Great job. Rob! Can’t wait to see it all cleaned up . Not sure I could have driven as much as you with all that mould!!

[@chrispop99]

I wouldn't change the fuel pump. The problem was probably only a stuck brush, or dirt on the commutator from not being used. A new pattern one would not be as good as a genuine, low miles original.

[@tomjohntig]

What a fantastic job you did Rob great bit of fault finding and fixing. The best feeling in the world when the engine comes to life, bet Chris was over the moon when he got back from Rome. Have a cold beer to celebrate Rob. 🍷

[@ctiley2212]

After sitting for so long it would have been advisable to pull the plugs and spray some lubricant into the bores to prevent scoring from no oil on the bores or from any corrosion that may have occurred. Just a bit more preventative maintenance, especially with such a low mileage engine.

[@matthewwebber3982]

Great little find there rob didn’t expect it to fire up as soon as it did looking forward to the next one on this

[@thefloorkiller]

Lovely Porker, loved it when it fired up and the reaction, at least the smoke was white usually due to damp, Tayna Batteries, brilliant, ordered one two weeks ago, came the morning of the next day after ordering, can't be beaten on price, can't wait to see this Porsche cleaned up

[@markswift1477]

Nice one Rob your skills are never in doubt, well done for persevering going to be a lovely car for someone. Next video will be doing the little jobs and a deep clean, I am sure it will clean up lovely
