BODGE REPAIRS EVERYWHERE! Restoring Shmee150's Disaster Project Porsche 914 -Classic Car Restoration 

This never ends. Wonder how much this would cost for a normal customer. The skill and craftsmanship of these guys is next level.

Nice to see Roco the emotional support Parrot back helping out , damm on this one he's really needed! Superb work as ever guys

That poor little Porsche has had a very tough life. In very good hands now. Amazing work.

Wow, Ryan, I have a lot of respect for your patience. I would have pushed this miserable rustbucket over the next cliff long ago. But so I can enjoy watching panel surgery at it´s best. Keep it up! Shoutout from SW Germany!

I enjoy seeing these classic cars being brought back to life.

If Ryan knew how much rust and bodge there would be back at the start, I’m sure Tim would have said “bin it, I’ll buy a decent one!” as there is no historic value for this car. However, you’ve got to admire Ryan’s patience as well as fabrication skills. Keep them coming, there will be plenty more episodes I’m sure 👍

It should be called "Triggers Broom"!

Brilliant craftsmanship in every episode,hope Shmee realises what a great job everyone is doing!

That look, continuous drilling in the hopes of finding the end of the disaster... that says it all ! 🤣🤣🤣

A new superhero is born, Dr.Rust

One of your best for a while Ryan. Where's your Dad? We're missing him

Great to see what can actually be done by highly skilled professionals.

I loved my 914 back in the day. Glad to see this one being saved.

Great bit of fabrication Ryan. You are getting there.

great work guys, nice to see rocco being useful lol

I love your persistence. Personally I'd have scrapped this piece of junk!

You guys are magicians with metal. Cheers from across the pond. 😍

great video, great music, amazing skills. I think a lot of us are concerned that your brilliant Dad is not currently making videos. It seems like prying but I sincerely hope he is ok.

These videos are awesome. Really shows how a metal magician can properly restore a total basket case.

Beautiful work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

A work of art in metal, Ryan is very patient, what a family all very skilled

I get bad repairs. I get trying to make it look good with bondo. But why on earth did they put literally an inch of bondo?? That even destroys the original car with so much extra stuff.

Brilliant video, more akin to your earlier ones. Love seeing the detailed metal work again!

When you'll be done with it, actually you will have crafted a brand new 914. There won't be much of the orignal car in it. Great job !

Hi Ryan ur dads not made any videos in ages is he ok

you guys are def awesome at what you do! unbelievable metal work!

An artiste in action ,please let Mr come learn some more ! Fabby welder 27 years pleaseeeeee

You’re turning into that painter from that 80’s show Murphy Brown. The guy never finished painting.

Awesome content showcasing great skills in restoring old cars. You should team up with vice grip garage in the US. I can foresee some great content with Dereks car collection. Keep up the good work 👍

Nice 😎😎😎👍👍👍

WOW - the talent and craftsmanship is outstanding :) Loved the Vid, thank you.

I could see the despair in your face Ryan!! Most of that rot around the light aperture was created by the factory sealer 🤨 the platingbodgery on the inner sill is a joke! Hasn't been done long by the looks of it..the's not much surface rust! People who are "restoring" vehicles in this fashion should leave well alone!! 🤦‍♂️ Great job guys! 👍

Jeeez, the labour cost alone 😮

After watching your videos I am sure most classic cars driving around are more filler than metal now!

Dieses Video ist das beste Mittel gegen Traurigkeit. Jetzt habe ich immer eine Dosis Lachen zur Hand🔥

Amazing job you guys are doing, but something came to my head: would it still be patches due to the amount of pieces of panels you are fixing and replacing?

I think that might give the datsun a bit of competition

It was more like a sculpture than a car 😂

Love watching the skill and care that goes into your work, this car will be so much lighter when Tim gets it back to when he brought it in , shame it wasn't weighed before you started to see how much more heavier it was compared to a stock 914

I cannot wait for Patches to be finished. It will be 99% rebuilt.

I think it’s really a Datsun 😉

Did you say there's not much left to do on Patches???? 😳😂

You've got to admit, whoever put all that filler on would have made a good sculptor.

Never worth doing crazy 😮

This car is an absolute nightmare xD

And people say that Italian cars rust..... Karmann Ghia has a well deserved reputation for building rust buckets, they engineer it in at the factory.

It's still not late too late to scrap it 😁

What's happening with mat Armstrong E 24. Are you making mats body kit?

I an surprised that you're not using repair panels. Are they not available? Given the cars well known rust issues I would have thought some were out there?

By the time all of the rusted panels are replaced and this car is restored, it is going to be the most expensive 914 in the world.

Have you ever had anybody own up to the previous atrocious work...? 😂

Fantastic video and fantstic series - it struck me, not only was the porsche more filler than metal, but if the body was like this... what are the mechanical parts like! :o

I get that RU-vid math isn't real math, but is there a reason Shmee wanted to stick with this particular body vs. finding another one?

It,s not mission difficult dr.Rust,it’s Mission Impossible

Thanks for the video.

Really surprised the jacking point repaired panels didnt rust from the inside

Have you done a before and after on how much it weighs with all that body filler removed

this thing is giving me nightmares, and I'm not even working on it.

Thanks for the amazing videos. What kind of spray/paint do you use?

I wonder what the weight difference would have been between before and after with all that filler and layered metal instead of butt welded sheet metal that's now being removed.

As a 914 owner, I watch these videos with a combination of horror at the state of disrepair of this car and the way in which it is still expertly repaired. But you would have to say that the cost of this restoration will far exceed the value of the car. Just the hours spent on bodywork is unbelievable.

Ryan what about the yellow lambo What’s going on with that I’ve given up on that Porsche it should have been thrown down the tip

So this is all great and all, but don’t you guys have rotisseries? This looks like some proper self-mortification to me. Also, get some dry ice to remove sound deadening. So much easier. And what about the laser machine? Don’t see that being used much anymore, isn’t it as good as advertised? I tried to get the body of my project laser cleaned, or rent a machine to do it myself. But it turned out so expensive that I went for the trusty sand blasting in the end. Must have been a good choice as you guys don’t even use it while you have one. And how is your dad doing? I like to see the master at work sometimes again 😊

Will there be any original steel left when (if) it's ever finished?

My god i have seen less rot on a Alfa Romeo Alfasud ti.

Sometimes its even hard to see how it should be when all the gum-ish material is placed afterwards.

Where is Cosmo and Datsun??

And I thought binky was bad 😂. Does anyone make heritage panels for this car?

With that extensive deep filler, the car before it came in to you guys, must have been bulbus, all that extra weight too. Are you ever tempted, or imagined since you have a lot of cars down to less than bare shells to refabricate large sections in aluminium?

I have restored a lot of really crappy rusty cars however nothing as bad as this one! This is one of the worst ones I have seen being restored.

This makes the Disaster Datsun look like MINT What happened to the Disaster Datsun project ?

Does Porsche not offer replacement panels?

I imagine this already back on the road? Or is this real time?

Have you ever considered acid dipping these extremely krusty vehicles instead of painstakingly grinding down all that paint/body filler?

Tim should get a full refund from the seller thats a MESS

Do you have any idea of the estimated weight of all that filler?

When we first saw the car it didn’t look to bad…i guess that’s what you get going in blind..

wouldnt it br easier to ime travel to the 1960 uy a new car and bring it back through a time portal?

It would be very expensive. A horrible amount of work.

These cars weren't worth a lot in the 90s and those bodge repairs will have got it through an MOT and saved this car.

Hope your charging him more than it’s worth for the work on that junk

Where's Steve these days?? not put a video up for about 2 months

Someone in Cornwall is a complete arse. Someone did this car up… Well they did a Cornish bodge.

You don’t have to be a good welder….just good with a grinder

You could have found some of this crap with a magnet you didn't need to buy the worst 914 in the world, best of luck you do great work.

I love the work you guys do but I just can’t stand the music!

if you eventualy replace 80% of the car.... did you then rely repair it... or did you build a new car with a few old parts XD

Is there a reason you are not using aftermarket body panels??

This may sound like a stupid question… but why don’t you find a doner car for panels? Don’t they make them?

I hope the Cowboys who worked on this car previously are ashamed of themselves The car was a death trap

this car just gets worse --- its a total disaster, a complete rust bucket.

4.12 - Chod?

wouldnt it have been more convinient to give the car an acid dip to remove all paint and rust before working on it?

get some lung protection!!!!

Wish they had weighted the car before starting. I wonder how many hundreds of pounds of filler they've removed 😊

This things beyond a joke brother, so bodged its more than a financial disaster!😬😬😱😱👀👀👀👎👎👎👎

Ah, in hindsight you should have weighed it before the restoration. All that filler…

Wast of money as he will drive it a couple of times then park it up like the others he doesn't drive

Hope you aren’t doing this for free when he earns plenty of you tube if you are then you need to help subscriber that loves your work

In the bin mate 👎🏼
