Wrecked Porsche 356 - (Episode 7) Tach, Stereo, Floors & Seats

[@quietenglishman4179]

The dashboard looks lovely with the vintage wireless and rev-counter fitter. Another fine job.

[@aaronpena1570]

That interior turned out really nice. Great job.

[@vayabroder729]

It is great that the car is so original and complete! You didn’t have to buy that many replacement parts. Original parts are worth refurbishing every time over any replacement. Love the use of rust reformer/converter. The great Mike Fn in his channel makes great use of it with fantastic results. Awesome project, Jared!

The ultimate patina machine.

[@benjireid798]

One of the more enjoyable and satisfying builds on youtube. keeping it simple is key. Thank you.

[@utahyork3338]

Nice work - again Jared! I understand what you are trying to do. I have an old pickup truck I'm putting together and I'm not planning to paint. I want that old patina look. These videos are relaxing to watch.

[@stephenhenion8304]

I'm with you on this one, follow your passion and keep with your Survivor approach on this build. Too many people believe in the 100 % restorations. I like the originality!👍👍

[@andreasvenator]

I´m so greatful it rains in Germany...gives us a lot of days where we can tinker in warm dry garages... you even have a lock for the shifter! Be careful not to loose the little screw that holds the lock in place when you unbolt the assembly to clean up the shifter! Good work on the seats!

[@keithleonard5085]

That car is lucky to have found you.

[@ODIS-bp1ks]

You are making nice progress on the 356. The rodent nests are always a pain. Had them in my '63 Cab and the '55 Speedster both of which were barn finds. Lucky for me, the '59A Coupe was purchased from a family that owned the car from new and it was stored for many years in a secure location up on blocks. Was great to get an old car that didn't suffer from rodent infestation. My '71 911T, another car purchased from the original owners but unfortunately, was a wild life sanctuary that was infested with squirrels and rats........ what a mess, but have it cleaned up now. Have been enjoying all of your efforts. Great work!

[@stuwemhoener5937]

Dash looks great

[@BH-ds3wv]

Oh god! When you pulled those floorboards up, I had to run and put on a mask just to watch the video!

[@johnapel2856]

Looking good. I appreciate that you are making a driver and not a costly restoration. Things like trimming off the ratty carpeting and leaving the rest. Well done. Thanks, and Woof to Walter.

[@bigestudios3890]

So glad you chose to change seat covers! The black looks excellent!

[@user-bs8ed9wi4s]

Great work man!

[@user-yp9xy8uc9p]

Great Job ! awesome interior 😀

[@baileynick9803]

Wow shes looking awesome. Another job jobed 👌

[@cybersurfer2010]

And again pretty nice work... Love your vids!

Makes me feel sad seeing that wrecked Porsche 356. You did a good work on the interior.

[@schnell356]

There's a section of soft fuel line behind the floorboards that spans between the fuel tank petcock and the tunnel fuel hard line. It should be checked for condition and most likely replaced.

[@Jerod_Helt]

Good to know. Thanks buddy👍

[@TimeLapsesBaudet]

very nice video! Gracias por compartir!

[@TheKimmer1969]

Nice radio and trim...👍😉

[@signjoey]

Good job kid!

[@marcelomaciel6756]

Awesome job! 👏 I’m thinking on how many people walked away from this car before you, thinking it was a parts car or scrap?

[@vayabroder729]

At this point these cars are getting so valuable that almost all are worth saving and whatever you put into them you at least get back if not more.

[@moudyblue]

Been waiting for this 356 👍🏻

[@venyjony735]

Nice job!

[@peterwilson3454]

well done top job

[@TimeLapsesBaudet]

a cuanto puliste el salpicadero 2000?

[@humbertojuhasz1475]

I like this Porsche, your rebuild is very satisfying, but what is your plan with the body work and painting?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I’m not painting the car. I’m driving it as is👍

[@humbertojuhasz1475]

OK, you are lucky to have a car like this, driving it is a dream. Make it true.

[@2manycatsforadime]

Doesn't have to be silent, you can hummmm or sing a little tune or as in my case talk to yourself. I answer myself as well.

[@steveg1334]

Perhaps play this 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3yZhYuDqNuah8k

[@hevog]

Oh Jared, this 356 will come out so nicely. Big thumbs up for that period correct (I think) Blaupunkt radio by the way, looks really cool. Also the seats look pretty awesome. Is that vinyl or leather? That filth you found behind these panels in the footwells was pretty gross. Yikes, how did all that stuff get in there? Perhaps one day you will decide to do a full resto of the car (new roof, new fender and straightening out the body). The car would be absolutely worth it. Here in Germany a well kept original 356 will not be available under 50k Euros, I even saw one for 75k Euros. Don't know about the prices in the U.S. but I suppose they may range there, too. Well done again, buddy. Looking forward to see you ride in that one 👍👏

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks buddy. The seats are vinyl like the rest of the interior. I might do a full restoration some day, but I’m going to enjoy the car as is for now.

[@rsw9480]

It is really to bad that nice new headliner has to come out to fix the roof ??

[@Jerod_Helt]

I’m not painting the car I’m driving it as is. The existing roof would need to be cut off the car and a new one welded on if the car was going to be repainted. 👍

[@silversurfer233]

Fantabulous work! Very nice stereo, is it available to buy online?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks buddy! It’s an original blaupunkt from the 60s. I bought it on eBay

[@ATfabNfix64]

Looks great! The seat kit made it look way better. We’re did you get the kit?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I got the kit on eBay 👍

[@richardsmith9509]

This bodywork, while absolutely amazing, is a long long way from being smooth and paintable. I think putting the headliner, door panels etc back in was very premature.....

[@Jerod_Helt]

I’m not painting the car. I’m driving it as is👍

[@richardsmith9509]

@@Jerod_Helt You are kidding???Right??

[@Jerod_Helt]

@@richardsmith9509 I’m not kidding. I’m keeping it original with all its scars and history on display.

[@richardsmith9509]

JNH: I think you dropped the ball on the decision. You could have EASILY decided to spend more time with a hammer and dolly and while not making it perfect, at least making it look completely repaired. This is half way..... A little more lazy than looking for a special result

[@Jerod_Helt]

It’s hard to tell the extent of the damage to the roof in the videos but there’s no way the top could be repaired to the point of being painted. Not even close. At this point it’s about preserving as much original paint as possible since I’m not painting the car. The more I tried to straighten it out the more paint I was losing. I’m sure this car won’t be for everyone, but it will be one of a kind👍

[@1edsel1]

impressive Ive had a 57 and a 55 and I sold years ago to this day I kick myself LOL

[@garrech120001]

Have we heard this run yet? Does it?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Not yet. The engine is in pieces.

[@garrech120001]

@@Jerod_Helt ...I look forward to seeing you get it together and drive it. Very cool!

[@polloloci21]

Part of my brain wants to replace everything but the other part just you to drive the car. Haha

[@ronpackwood8772]

👍👍✌️

[@ianhardin1148]

You lost me at that wiring diagram. Now I remember why I don't fix up vintage air-cooled beauties. LOL Massive lack of talent aptitude and ability!

[@ianhardin1148]

I think this is the video where in my mind this went from "project" to "CAR!"

[@The9meister]

At least you don't dribble on for 5 minutes how you are going to do it, you don't shove your moosh in the camera all the time, you just do it.

[@gnashingmyteeth]

i don't understand why go through all that and NOT really clean/replace the lifeless foam/ do it proper & right - i do enjoy watching your projects but this MAKES NO SENSE !

[@Jerod_Helt]

The seats had already been reupholstered before and the foam was still in good shape. They originally had horse hair not foam👍
