Project Patches is going to take some serious work to straighten out, but it couldn't be in better hands. It's been a lot of fun to be involved early doors, but I'm going to be glued to the series now! Thank you
It's a pleasure having you round to work on Patches Tim! Lots more in store for this beauty and we cannot wait to continue on this one! What a journey so far!!
I learned by taking cars apart and then potting them back together but what I learned most from was Haynes Manuals they have saved me thousands and taught me enough to tear an engine down and do head gaskets to big and little ends and then more.
Tims smile said it all.I honestly think once you start with classics you begin a long road, and it becomes a challenge, that increases with fullfilment. Certainly with you guys he is on a journey well worth the time to watch. Thanks guys.
Tim. Hoping you read this. I knew as much about taking a car apart and putting it back together as you do now when I bought a broken 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner 25 years ago. I helped take it apart, restoring the parts, and reassembling it. I learned so much about what a car "is". I always loved to drive them, but learning how they tick; how the ingenious engineering created a car's ability to "do something". It might be mechanics, but it almost feels like biology. I encourage you to participate as much as you can. It's so rewarding to drive a car, you own, that you helped put together. It will always be special to you. A different kind of special. Cheers Shmee!
I know its a bit late for this project, but last year I had to drop the rear suspension of my Porsche 914 as I wanted to replace the silent bloc bushes. Needless to say the three bolts on each side were completely solid (as you found). My solution to these bolts that hold the outer rear suspension mountings was to put the car on a lift for easy access, with an oxy torch heat the head of one of the bolts red hod, then spray that heated bolt head with WD 40. The temperature shock (rapid expansion and contraction) usually frees off the bolt. It worked for me each time. Good luck with the project.
16:03 That sound just brought back a lot of memories for me. My dad had a '72 VW Bus that sounded just like this 914; the engine was the same as in this though, hence the similarities, lol (the 1800cc Type 4 engine)... I shall keep an eye out on this 914 project religiously, good going, boys
Thanks for the video. And thank you for extending it after Schmee left, because it would have just been a recut of Schmee's channel otherwise. Keep up the good work!
Hello 👋 Ryan good video buddy two days in a row get to hang out with you guys on RU-vid i watch the bmw episode yesterday and now this one..I hope you have a extremely good week Ryan you and Steve and the crew.
This is starting to look interesting. I only wish it was a 914/6 and it wasn't LHD. It's going to look great even though it's a long way from being one of my favourite cars. One thing I did notice was that the team don't appear to be using any penetrating oil on those rusty nuts and bolts and I recommend some eye protectors when working under any car, especially an old, dirty one !
If that was my car, I would have had them repair the paint cause it looks good. Clean the undercarriage and install new bushings and shocks. Pull the motor and clean and reseal it. Add new maintenance and tune up parts. Clean interior and replace bad pieces. Then, hopefully, reassemble and enjoy driving the car.
Hi Ryan, There was the same model of Porsche that had been run into a walled canal slipway which was about 20 foot deep it laid there for many years under water next to a busy night club on the edge of Bury Lancs and a boating lake off Bolton Road Bury! I went back a number of years ago to see if it was still there, it had gone I believe a crane was brought in to lift it out not long before I visited? It was in very good condition Red not that I walked round it 😂 but from what I could see of it under water! The slipway was built of stone and a flagged bottom someone or a group of em pushed it out of the club car park and ditched it in the cut! Looking at the one your doing it looks ok panel wise in the video? Was that Tims Sister taking the vid? She came prepared in her inspector Clouseau gabardine mack! I thought you said you were going to leave a bit to do for Tim? Even ya dad joined in!!! I thought heyup there star struck😂😂😂 I shall be watching with great interest Ryan your doing a job for a multi millionaire where price is no object? Proper solid gold wheel rims? Try and make it more expensive than that new Rolls Royce that’s just come on the market you’ll all be able t retire and take it easy😂😂😂 Good luck Ryan I’m looking forward to a job well done👍👍👍❤️
@@EmilysDaddthat’s correct I used to go back in the 70s it was the place to be back then! You don’t remember it was there a good while before it was taken out!
Gosh, you have a huge stock of project cars. How do you keep an overview of all parts of the project cars? I enjoy following you and really appreciate your showing how to make repair parts.
Looking forward to seeing this progressing and great seeing Father and son working together. Steve - where's the flippin' RS2000? Put the chocolate Digestives away, go grab some tools and get crackin'.
…it’s waiting patiently in the background at the start of of this video, just after the YCR RU-vid logo, see the orange BMW E9, up on the ramp two cars along from Shmee’s Porsche 914
If you need help identifying any loose parts just lay them out and make a short video and I'm sure there are plenty of us 914 nuts in the comments to help out. The front trunk gasket isnt the correct one, its supposed to be wider and fill up the slot around the trunk, not sit on the metal edge like it does. The corrugated plastic hose you picked out of the engine bay along with the air filter housing is a drain tube for rain water that collects on the engine lid. For the rear suspension the inner suspension mounts are prone to rust so check those over well. There is a stiffening kit for the rear suspension consoles available that was used on the 914-6 GT cars. Might not be a bad idea to install that "while you are in there"
The haves, and the have nots. Yes being totally honest I'm jealous as all F, but well done to YOU.

I watch you working on and taking apart this car, and i don't know where this car was build, but do you have, on the car, only metric bolts and so or is it in imperial ? Or both, because it's not an english or usa car, so there is a risk that your tools are not compliant with metric system. Did you have this kind of problem ? Thank you for the vidéo.
The UK adopted the metric system in 1965 albeit the transition has been a long one but even we have been using metric bolts for many years so the tools are not a problem and all 914's according to Porsche were built in Stuttgart which uses the metric system.
haad one of these hanging from my railway arch ceiling in the 80s up there for nearly five years then the owwner who was on his majestys holiday came and picked it up lol
Please pronounce “Porsche” the way Porsche instructs non-German natives in their dedicated video here on RU-vid. You’ll notice they explicitly point out there is no “silent e” in Porsche. Thank you.
Bit harsh don't you think ? Tim is a nice guy with a passion for all cars and an incredible knowledge base of any car he gets involved with, this is a quality that most don't have, he has my respect.
Aww, c'mon, now. Isn't anyone else going say it? Oh, all right, I will: guys, the 914 is a hairdresser's car. Yes, I know about the racing pedigree and the cool connections and so on. But... it's a hairdresser's car. I think it was the lady in Tim's life who fell in love with the 914 - which is not exactly a typical Shmee chariot - so I'm tempted to say that he was, er, 'Puppi-whipped' [😸] into acquiring it.
