This Porsche 911 has been off the road for 3 years because it was set on fire and no one else would fix it. We bought it from a scrapyard for £5,000 and we got it started for only £700. Today, we’re finally making it road-legal again, but not before we fit a few mods.

To be honest I'm not so sure about the purple rims, but the decals add a lot of character to the car and honestly what an amazing debut project for the channel it's been! Great work boys, keep it up!

[@einsikallin]

A thought would be to have the lip and centercap purple but idk about it, purple on wheels is hard to pull.

[@TinyMiniStealth]

Purple wheels look bad on white

[@adarshlyf]

I agree ✨

[@Onyx-racing]

I think they are going for a Carrera RS look with the matching wheels and stripes.

[@toastrytoaster]

i get it, it's branding. But edwin is always talking shit about non standard parts

[@althejazzman]

The best thing about this shared workshop is the cameos: 15:07 - Jack working on the 924! 15:25 - Gareth working on another BMW!

[@pieterv6984]

It also means you can change the barrel width on the rims by swapping them over.

[@ricequackers]

Fantastic work! Even my wife who otherwise doesn't care too much about cars beyond admiring them has been joining me in watching "the guys saving that poor Porsche". If that's not high praise I don't know what is.

[@Chrzaszczbrzmiwtrzcinie]

Keep it up guys. Initially I wasn't convinced that this channel will be unique enough to be interesting, with Autoalex, Drivetribe and many other YT channels out there existing in the same niche. However, after watching the 911 series I see that you guys teamed up for a reason. Your knowledge, focus and profesionalism are really showing. Additionally you are very pleasant and entertaining to watch. I can't wait for more. It's becoming my favourite channel and a breath of fresh air.

[@EGGJAZZ]

drove past you a few times today on the m26! cars looking good lads keep it up

[@gofres]

Purple wouldn't have been my first choice but each to their own 😂 Great job reviving her though boys!

[@robfrith103]

Love the new channel! Doesn't need to be compared to Alex or anyone else. You have your own style and it's different in a good way.

[@BackyardSpaceProgram]

In Sweden there's also a yearly MOT, while the car is on the lift I always go with the inspector and inspect the car myself while they're doing their thing since I don't have access to a lift.

[@schwuzi]

I do the same in Austria. It's amazing what you can see when the car is up in the air. I'm always asking myself how could I have missed that and then I remember I just crawl under my cars on a dirty floor with shitty lighting.

[@supersaabclaire]

I do the same! 👍

[@graham1034]

Meanwhile, here in Canada we don't even have inspections at all unless a cop really doesn't like you.

[@dangernoodle4305]

We have them here in Australia (NSW). but you on have to get them once your car is 7 years old, after that it's yearly.

[@graham1034]

@@dangernoodle4305 we had emissions testing in my province from 1992-2014. Now you can drive any car no matter the condition, age, mileage, pollution, etc. If a cop thinks you're a hazard then they can write you up for an inspection though

[@GreedyBoy_96]

I love all the content from Auto Alex but I must agree, it's kinda nice to see a project from start to finish without much deviation, it's very satisfying! I do appreciate though it takes time to do these projects, so you need to run multiple ideas alongside eachother, but they really seemed to have smashed this first series so far! Looking forward to seeing what's to come🙌🏻

[@spruce1509]

This is so good. The purple is so out there that it's just cool. I know you've got the support of Alex and you've got experience, but this is at the level of much more established channels. Keep smashing it boys

[@chrstnldg6652]

Appreciate the calmer vibe compared to AA. The vids are funny there but can wear a bit after a while. Keep growing guys

Made me chuckle watching you guys do the indicator. My dad had a g series 911 and we had to change the headlight bulb once. Oh my daddy aunt, nightmare.

I'm absolutely surprises by how well this car looks in this colour combo. The purple fits so nicely! Those wheels, like everyone said, suit the car very well and the side banner makes it look kinda OEM+, I really like it!

[@ArnoLouwagie]

Great job on getting the 996 back on the road. Also, the purple is f-ing awesome!!

[@jaars911]

Here in South Africa you only need to take your car for a roadworthy test if you need to register it in your name, but public transport like taxis and and trucks needs to go every 12 months

[@deaks25]

Honestly, I like the purple on white. It's not a garish colour and the graphics are small enough it doesn't look silly. I didn't like the black centre on silver drums for the wheels so while I'd have gone white for the centres, the purple does make it stand out, although again without looking daft. I'd be tempted to leave the few red interior trims that are left, just as a nod to the cars past. Looking forward to seeing a video of the Nurburgring.

[@Td5Adventures]

The purple is great! Make the wing mirrors purple too and wrap the roof white for the cleanest look👌🏼

You put graphics on with soapy water - then squeegie with a plastic scraper - sounds daft but then you can mess about if you want, lifting and replacing - plus it allows you to easily remove air bubbles
