I did it. This old Porsche 912 is back on the road after being in a garage for 43 years. This process taught me so much. I'm extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to buy and refresh this old car. A big thank you to my wife for being the amazing woman she is, and supporting me complete a dream like this. Thank you to my great friend Andrew, for letting me do this project in his shop space. Thank you to everyone who's supported me by simply watching and commenting on my videos. I don't have a business, this is just for fun. I'll never forget this experience. Stayed tuned to see what happened in the following months with this old car.
To anyone who's considering a restoration of an old car, I'd tell you that it's worth it. You'll spend more than you thought. It will take longer than you expect. But you'll come out different. You'll learn a lot, and be glad you did.

Happy to see a new YT video instead of just insta :) P.S. not sure if you heard the news about Deus... they opened a new location near us on PCH in newport and are opening a 2nd location in LA with resturant (like the Deus Lodge in UK). Still down for a coffee if you ever are lmk.

Nice! SWB 912’s are cool. Probably a small issue like a ground that came loose. Next step paint correction on the single stage paint?
@michaelgideon6422
@michaelgideon6422 7 месяцев назад
I'll drive it for a while and enjoy it while deciding if I'll mess with the paint. I may never mess with it.

I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 So sick!!

Man I’m so happy that you got it started- I was a bit concerned when your friend wasn’t standing guard at the engine bay when you cranked it over (the last thing you want is a fuel leak to ruin your day!) . The great thing about these cars is, it’s probably a simple fix.
