It's FINALLY time to start the restoration of my PORSCHE 356A! Found in a barn in Pennsylvania, it's been sitting around my workshop for over a year now, so I need to start stripping it. With a little help from two of my talented friends, I found out a few things about it...

I hope you had it appraised before you touched it. That car could have possibly been worth millions as it was. I would try my absolute best not to damage that car at all. That car is worth millions of dollars

Makes my day when I find a restoration project from several years ago with loads of episodes to consume. Found you or did you find me? Kettle is on, feet up, relax and enjoy. 😊

Dom, it’s not vinyl, it’s original vegan leather 😂

I had an opportunity to buy an early 1950s Porsche 356 when I was a teenager. It had an aluminum body, a later running engine in place and the original in a basket. The price was $800, which didn't seem like too much to me, at the time or at any other time! However, my Dad wouldn't let me (or help me) buy it. I wonder how much they go for today?

Having worked on VWs and 356s for decades, I found your video and what memories it brought back. Looking forward to the next 356 episode.

The most important thing I’ve learned while restoring old sports cars is how wonderful my friends are. Absolutely nothing better than hanging out with like-minded friends, working on a project. And the frosty beverage at the end of the day, of course!

Great video Dom, it's all doable on the 356. I used to work for a bodyshop company in the UK (I have now retired to France) and they used to rent out Cellette jigs and equipment. Having been involved in jigs I know you have picked the right system. Some other bodywork repair systems rely on measurement and fancy gizmos. Cellette understand that in the industry people like "simple". Real people understand big hammers, chains and hydraulics. As you found when loading the body onto the Cellette jig bench, if it fits the bomb proof jig brackets, the body/frame/chassis is square. If your 356 body had been out of square it is now basic stuff to jack out the panels etc to fit the brackets.

Blimey Dom! Brave man. Don't worry, I'm going to call "Car SOS" for you mate!!

Bring back memories. I went thru this with my 1958 ab-Normal Coupe back in 1977🙃

Dom - it is interesting that your hill-climb 356 was found in a barn in Pennsylvania. PA is where hill climbing began, around 1902. A car builder called Matheson starting testing cars on the side of a mountain near Wilkes-Barre. Other builders joined them at the hill side, and competiton span out of that, known as hill climb derbies.

Having under taken the exact same 356 project starting back in 2012 it took me 4 years to complete with a shed load of cash

As a kid in the early 60s, my big sister went on an exchange to Germany, Hagen, I think, and brought me back a toy Porsche, in German Police livery, with friction motor and a flint that sent a spark up into the blue light on the roof. Same model as yours, I think. Wish I still had it! Maybe that's why I took German A Level and became a Police Biker for 30 years!

Really interesting this should be a programme on tv. Can't wait to see the next instalment.

We used to use "EZ grip" or fine grinding paste on Phillips screw heads. Also the "Snap-On" stud extractors that fit in a socket are nice to use. Learnt this as I spend all my working life on aircraft. Should be an interesting project.
