This is awesome to watch. This type of content is more interesting than all the videos talking about how great the new Ferrari or Lamborghini is. There is always a lot to learn when restoring old cars and learning the past of the cars.
Very exciting, please dont worry about the production quality (didnt even notice until you mentioned it at the end). The most important thing is being kept upto date with the journey. Really looking forward to seeing it play out 👍
Good to see you giving Yorkshire Car Restoration some publicity which is more than Matt Armstrong has done despite him getting a free restoration on his E24.
Tim, with your passion for car and their history.. No doubt you will bring it back to it's full glory, and but it in the Shmee museum on full display for everyone to see.
„Sie lebt !“ 👏. I have to say this is the nicest project I have seen on your channel. Hope to see this thing back on the streets. And hopefully not totally changed from what’s it is. It is a classic and a special one, too. Would be nice to keep it that way.
Love this project with the true craftsmen genius of Yorkshire Car Restorations. The simplicity of these classic cars make them easier to understand in what is back to basics motoring enjoyment
The amount of Love being poured into this car is amazing! Imagine if a car had a soul or spirit, it is now overjoyed to have found a home with you two (Tim and Puppi). 😊😊❤❤❤
I just finished 2 years of restoration, conversion to electric drive and import from USA to Spain on my '73 914. I do not envy the pain you guys are in for!
I’m pleased you are getting personally involved in the restoration. I’m sure the guys at YCR appreciate this direct support …and besides the videos are really interesting on this project. I can wait to see the progress ….would be nice to understand your plans for the car … A back to original restoration?
Thank you for doing older cars! Honestly its more fun than the new toys!!! Working on my old E30 with my old man is the best. All old cars are just better.
Enjoying this already. My .02 is that the original side indicators are a story piece. No, you dont need to keep them, but that car's made quite a journey to end up where it is now and little quirks are fun to talk about with cars like this one.
I really like these restoration projects. Subscribed on YCR to watch how things progress and, of course, keeping an eye on this channel to see what plans you have for the little Porsche. Looking forward to it all.
Hey Schmee, quick note for you. You may have tons of options in England but Restoration Design in Ontario Canada fabricates all of the panels you will need for the 914. Their quality is fantastic and will likely be a lot less expensive than trying to fabricate individual parts. Love the video.
That smile after starting the engine was priceless. I have watched you collecting several Supercar and you have not shared that Shmile, that's what I will call it - Shmile
I really like this twist on your channel and hope your interest in classics will grow from now on and we´ll se this 914 and then, I hope, some more, getting back to life on your channel. Keep up the good work.
Wow, what an absolutely fantastic video! That Porsche has a lot of traveling miles on it, North America, Canada, and now setting there with you getting a complete and well-deserved makeover. Love the Blue color of the car! Really surprised when it turned over just as you were! Again, thank you for making such great videos that I can share and enjoy with my family! Good luck from Williamsburg Va! 👍
loving this new journey with your videos Shmee, could we maybe see a Mk1 Ford Escort RS2000 rebuild in the future? would make an excellent addition to your Ford collection
Very exciting project. I just sold my 1973 2.0 Alaska Blue 914 using Collecting Cars auction site. Thankfully stayed in the US to a good Porsche collector /owner in Georgia!
I must admit I’m truly interested in this project! I love the channel no matter what but this is so cool, such a lateral shift of your normal content! Go Shmee!!
After watching Harry’s Garage I think I’m less shocked at how far a car can go but still be brought back to life and how people with the right skill will get it back spot on. Guy in the next street to us has one and think it needs a lot of work. Just new Oil going round that engine will do it a world of good. 👍
I was watching these two gentlemen showing the other several cars they've been working on and now the initial touches on the Porsche. They seem to have ENCYCLOPEDIC knowledge about cars.
I love this little car! I keep thinking some EFI might do wonders for this car. Just wonder if it being related to the beetle engine if it has the same issues with a hot no.2 cylinder that plagued those beetle engines. Cant wait to see this play out!
In 1975, I purchased a 1970 914-4. Such a fun car but the rust eventually led to its death as a rear spring broke through the rusty frame mount. At the time I was living in FL but the car had been in Maryland where salty winter roads presented issues on cars in general. This vid makes me wonder if these cars are especially susceptible to rust problems.
You should get that car to a Porsche restoration specialist. Your guys will do the job but they’re gonna be learning and making mistakes at your expense
Great project right there and how crazy it was to find the story of it like that. And talking about history, I would keep the side lights to preserve it's history as a car made for the canadian market
I've been down this road a few times. Rust loves these cars and finding one that hasn't had the ass rusted out of it is getting harder to find every year.
Tim, there's a resto-mod that Chip Foose did on an E-Type. The paint job was beautiful. If you haven't decided on a colour, I think that'd look beautiful on your car.
Nearly bought the very same car in December last year! Sort of feel like I dodged a bullet now. I have 26 vehicles - almost none of which are worth what they cost to restore. Its all good fun though. Good luck with the project Shmee!
WOW! Hi Tim, Im a new subscriber mainly due to your Aston content as I’m waiting for my first Aston (DB9) in a couple of weeks but oh my, I’m soooo invested in the 914 strip down & rebuild that I’m hooked! Must say I’ve been watching your other content and I like it! Cheers!👍👏👏👏❤️
Cool that you are seeing a car start from scratch instead of just having one delivered to you for once. I watch other car RU-vidrs who get barn/field finds and go through the whole process of starting up the cars and working on the engines. I can see that's gonna be a nice one. And for God's sake, don't use any Bondo on that car (where the seats are)! Once all finished, you'll probably love this car more than any other.
