Wrecked Porsche 356 - (Episode 13) Carb Rebuild & First Drive!

[@davidcousineau6605]

Wow! I started watching your channel when you began the FJ40 Land Cruiser, but I have to admit the Porsche quickly became my favorite. You have no idea how excited I got seeing this last video and watching you drive it. Really. I had to have a conversation with myself telling myself that it made no sense to get that excited as it is “only” a KZbin video. Simply awesome! Your channel is great!

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks for the great comment and for watching👍

[@hevog]

Oh, Jared, you can be so proud of what you have accomplished with this car. Turning this totally wrecked and distorted 356 back into a driveable and for sure unique car is really something you deserve my true admiration for. One of the coolest 356es around for sure with her significant battle scars. Great job and greetings from where the Porsches grow.

[@royramdeen8864]

Jared, that is so rewarding after all that work... well done!

[@tinmeister356]

Way to go, Jerod! Get ready for North Meets South next year! - Dan

[@steves9905]

the first drive after a major overhaul or resto is the best feeling ever. congrats, and boy did it look good sitting there at the beach

[@trojanpussy]

When she stood at the beach Tina Turner was singing: Steamy windows. Really, it happened in my dream last night

The prfessionalism !To clean and adjust SOLEX carburettors with twin chambers , to mount them on the engine and to revive it, that is ART. You talked about replacing the 6V on-board electrics with 12V, somehow I didn't notice its replacement on the silent video, probably my inattention. Otherwise I was amused by the barefoot handling of the car. A safety offence here in Europe. So I wonder what a world without internal combustion engines will look like when electric cars rule the roost, they certainly won't need SOLEX carburetors tuned. Maybe artificially generated noise to make them audible!

[@koolkar55]

Magnificent piece of work Jarrad. You have done yourself proud Mate. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.

[@utahyork3338]

Well done Jared. Fun to see it start and drive. Also, I enjoyed seeing someone use a timing light.

[@DepthWish]

Congratulations on getting her on the road! Very, very cool... I wish I had got that one off BAT to have some similar adventures...

[@mtskies8077]

I wish I could like this video 20 times. What you did with this car was truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing it.

[@terrywilliams667]

Sweet! First the T, now the Porche, well done!

[@leemeyer3347]

The wait is over!! I've been looking forward to hearing the motor wind out and see this beauty back on the road. Another fabulous classic saved! Love what you've done and enjoyed your silent build videos as well as the recaps. I am learning from you for my own restoration, in progress. Hope to meet at a local show. Congratulations on your achievement with this bit of auto history. Sehr gut!!!

[@terrancefields4414]

Thank you for saving that little little beauty. It looks so proud sitting there. You should feel proud as well. I enjoyed your whole garage series including the Ducati.

[@stephenhenion8304]

Back in the day, In my haste for a test ride, i would invariably run over my tool box which i left under the front bumper!!! Great job .🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸

[@Timescratch1]

OMG, its getting real :) Congratiolations!

[@rrtownsend6432]

Nice ride. 356’s are classics but I’d love to have a 912. My favorite Porsche. RT

[@timinclt7895]

What an accomplishment!!

[@stuwemhoener5937]

Thanks for the ride!

[@williamcalia2465]

What an absolutely beautiful job. Enjoy the ride my follow Porsche owner. Welcome to the club.

[@buffdoc46]

Had to be excited to get out on the open road after all that work. Rewarding for sure.

[@randyfraser8622]

Nice job. I have a 62 356b thats been sitting for 40 years in my garage thanks for the inspiration to get started on getting it on the road

[@superbear617]

Fantastic job! That engine just purrs. I am glad all your hard work paid off.

[@tala4232]

I love the character you gave that 356. Well done! Not many wouldve seen that potential like you.

[@jackviner3387]

Good grief this car is beautiful. Great job and great video!! thank you

[@trojanpussy]

At the first sound i started🙂 smiling, than the big start! Oowh....how i love that baby roahr🥰😍 Big thanks Jarred💋

[@jamesenloe2791]

Other than the 40, this is by far my favorite build. People were sweatin hard as you drove by them on the beach. Plz🙏 start the 40 again

[@simon-xi3cv]

Unreal. Incredible work.

[@marcelomaciel6756]

This is the kind of video we are waiting for: you showing your amazing diverse skills and interesting projects! 👏

[@BennyHolst.23]

Oh the sound of that engine when it was started up - wonderful - that vehicle is so beautiful, even with dents and scratches ... amazing - you know your stuff ... hello from Denmark...

[@waynemiracle8928]

Congratulations! It’s simply amazing what you’ve done with this car. You, and your videos are so inspiring to me. If a person just perseveres with a project you will drive it eventually! Thanks!

[@roypearce6968]

You are the man what a great ride wonderful work.👍👍👍👍

[@SaxCass]

It's alive!!!!!!

[@davidmwesolowski]

Congratulations! Incredible work!

[@jeffrippe6559]

Just , flippin’ WOW!! So incredibly cool!! Great job, Jared! The only thing cooler would be having an incredibly groovy dog hanging out the passenger side window. I’m confident you’ll hook us up with that video sometime soon!

[@MEATHEADRacing75]

Very happy for you. Great project.

[@birdssurfshed]

AWESOME and it sounds GREAT!

[@Aphthous]

Runs! Congratulations!

[@malibuquest]

Right on Jared! Nice!!

[@jedschleisner8960]

That engine is so cool!

[@ianhardin1148]

How amazingly satisfying that must've felt! Wow. I'm jealous (but in a good way...I think). LOL

[@JakobKsGarage]

Very inspiring. Good work! Thanks a lot

[@danielbardan5697]

Strong sounding engine there, great work!

[@joeywyatt9025]

Congrats...enjoyed the build.

[@paulm.8554]

Congratulations! Awesome job!!

[@apricott1]

Wow! Another one done! I admire your skills, especially with this one. At the beginning I thought “no way”! Congratulations!

[@davidschur5140]

Fantastic job Jerod! One of the reasons that I like this car so much is that it is so far removed from anything that I have ever worked on. Not saying that I couldn't do it, but if I did try, I hope that I could put as much attention to the research and detail that I have seen here.

[@mitchlanier884]

Hooray! Jared. I have been waiting for this moment. As usual you have done an exceptional job on getting this vehicle up and running. Thanks for sharing you talents and expertise with us all. I am a devoted fan of your channel. Well done.

[@johnapel2856]

Absolutely fantastic! Well done. Thanks, and Woof to Walter.

[@ODIS-bp1ks]

Awesome!

[@willfamily6326]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@bcmbdk]

Great stuff. Excellent editing and storytelling! Beautiful work on such an elegant machine. You must be super stoked!

[@vayabroder729]

Another one brought back to life. Awesome!!

[@robj2704]

Had a 68 Beetle bought new. The dealer had a cooling fan that hung on the cooling exits to cool the engine down quickly enough to adjust the valves without having to wait a long time for the engine to cool down naturally.

[@schnell356]

Well done and enjoy. But then it's hard not to enjoy driving a 356.

[@kurtallen22taco]

That must be an amazing feeling to know that you have revived this Porsche 356. Would love to see the cost breakdown. You have amazing skills!

[@Jerod_Helt]

I will have a cost breakdown video out soon. I’m a little scared to see what I actually spent on it👍

[@locosporlosvolkys7640]

Eres excelente en tus trabajos!. Felicitaciones!

[@terylmadlem9558]

Unbelievable!

[@maltmakers]

Beautiful car, Beautiful work Jarrd!!

[@rickfletcher8389]

Great restoration - wonderful series following you in the work

[@tommccall7540]

Ahhhh sweet success. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@tommccall7540]

Oh, I forgot, where’s Walter?

[@robj2704]

Looking forward to the body repair. Great job so far.

[@stephenmayock3776]

This is great. I do want to see you fix the body

[@tonyolsson111]

Fantastic work, you should be proud!

[@naberville3305]

You work... Fast.

[@moudyblue]

Ooww yeaaa , finally Jared congrats !!!

[@kennethreiver985]

This is how I work , I don't talk much I find it a distraction . I'd rather talk when I am done .

[@jrhamp]

Well done..looks like San Clemente or general area thereof. From Palos Verdes..have not been back to California in many years..

[@PecanRanch]

I love it

[@Turitea]

Love it!

[@darpagluma3763]

Amazing video man! Your videos have helped me with my own 356B T5 project. One thing I was wondering for this in particular was that I noticed you didn't put any gasket sealant on the fuel pump's main gasket. I am never sure where to apply sealant especially if it already has a gasket so just wondering about your reasoning here. Congrats on getting it running!

[@Jerod_Helt]

I try not to use too much sealer. Gaskets should be able to seal just fine without it. But if it’s something that’s really hard to get to and I don’t need to take it back apart for any reason I use sealer. Otherwise I give the gasket a chance to do it’s job. I can always come back later and add sealer if needed. Also sealer doesn’t hold up well against gas so I don’t use it to seal anything that holds fuel👍

[@darpagluma3763]

@@Jerod_Helt Good to know! I'm still disassembling my super 90 engine so I've got a log to learn. Thanks for the reply and congrats :)

[@stephenbrown5580]

7:23....Abracadabra.....Fuel Rail out of thin air!!!! Was the camera mounted on a Gimbal? It was cool how it seemed to rotate randomly.

[@g-monk2775]

Great job. Mad skills. Ever thought about doing live streams while doing the technical parts, like building the carbs, on twitch or something?

[@rgoldsmith6560]

Great job!I noticed you used simple green in the ultrasonic cleaner, what did you neutralize it with, I've used it and stuff seems to corrode after a while so I stopped using it. Again thank you for letting us watch you do your magic!

[@Jerod_Helt]

I haven’t had any issues with it corroding things but I do usually spray everything down with brake cleaner before assembly

[@sedky69]

Take it to a body shop then you'll have a perfect car after

[@Fundy55]

Very nice! What's next for this car?

[@psk5746]

Very clever but I don't understand why you didn't finish the bodywork and paint her. You obviously have the skills

[@Jerod_Helt]

I actually made a video explaining that🙂

[@prestocoop]

so very cool...no leaks, I take it?

[@warmblood58]

Nice job! Did you align at home?

[@TheStevemcqueen68]

Top Job Jerod , Great looking 356 . is the engine stock,

[@Jerod_Helt]

The engine is a little more powerful than stock but not much.

[@geerstyresoil3136]

Wanna rebuild my engine now? 🤣

[@ronpackwood8772]

👍👍✌️

[@cybersurfer2010]

Super job…! How will you preserve the areas without paint…?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Just some wax👍

[@Franqy2008]

A quelle vitesse roulais-tu lors de essais. Avais-t-il du bruit à l’intérieur. L’ancien proprio, que penserais-il de cette restauration.

[@lancemillward1912]

I thought a leather jacket and driving gloves for the first drive...

[@robj2704]

To be a Porsche driver you have to wear your ballcap backwards. Oh, that's for modern ones, not the real classics.
