Holy Porsche, Batman ! I hope the owner knew what the paint was hiding. This looks like one Frankenstein's Monster of a car. It'll be nice when it's done though ! Hi from Prague, CZ !
Thanks buddy! I wish I could be more consistent for you guys. It’s a rough time for videos right now. The shop is under construction for expansion but when it’s done I should be able to crank more out! Appreciate you being patient with me
The owner is on here he said body work is pretty much all done now! Hoping to get some pics when it’s all finished up! Thanks buddy! I appreciate that!
Thanks for another great vid! It is so relaxing and therapeutic watching paint and filler melting away from classic iron revealing either solid gold or tin foil.
Thank you for making this excellent video - my UK 1974 911 Carrera Targa 2.7 MFI is scheduled to have a strip down to bare metal next year for a completely new paint job. I will be very interested to see how my car compares in terms of bare metal body condition to the one you have shown us.
@@richardhill1377 Best of luck with your car! Targas are tough, especially near the seat belt inner fender mount, and at the base of the targa hoop, and down that pillar to the rear of the rockers and the cucumber…once that is straightened out, if you have solid rockers, the cars are surprisingly very rigid - best to jig them to ensure they remain true and then lock down on a fixed dolly while performing work. Enjoy!
I can't imagine the value of a restored 1974 Porsche Carrera Targa in a great color, or the condition of this car prior to restoration, but I'm very glad to see the process unfold. This video shows the final disassembly -- everything from the point forward is the long, arduous task of restoration and rebuilding. That may take a lot of time and money. I hope it's worth it. Would love to see the completed project. Good luck to all involved!
I used to be the clean up/ tear down/ catalog parts guy at a Porsche specific restoration shop (hated that job, the owner was a really big steaming pile of.. well he wasn’t a very decent person to work for is what I’m saying) and I can tell you that car had been mangled several times, the repair work is decent tho, hopefully this next place gets it dialed in. Excellent video came out clean and shiny if it’s an original green car, it’s pretty rare, I’ve only seen two originals when I was working there in the late 90s
@@ni_wink84 Car owner here, and yes, it is a genuine 74 US market carrera targa, original No. 137 lime green car, and numbers matching…we’ve fixed the bad prior work already, and are just about done with the balance of the metal work - a master shop with over 60 years Porsche specific restoration experience is at the helm. Thanks for your comment!
@@christopherminks6607 from my experience you found a gold nugget, as I said I’ve only seen two original green Carreras, I had the pleasure of working on one of them, I hope you get her dialed in, the one I worked on had 22k original miles and was absolutely perfect, garage kept since new and basically stored in an environmentally controlled shop/garage. I hope you get this one back up to its former glory, very very rare Porsche. While working there I bought my father a 1968 912, as you know the 912 isn’t special but it was flawless and he’s kept it as so even today, 96k original miles and he still takes it out on weekends sometimes.
Wow, a lifetime of rough knocks was hidden under the paint! In the beginning I was thinking it wasn't going to be too bad! Well after two new quarters and replacing the rusted areas there will be a solid base to rebuild the Porsche to it's former glory!
I just started watching and have to say it is impressive how good the process works. It's a shame how many of the older rides where destroyed in the scrap frenzy that happened. It's nice to see that at least a few survived.
It is probably very disheartening for the owner of a vintage automobile to discover just how bad it really is under that layer of glossy paint. A good friend who is no longer with us dipped nearly every restoration project as first order of business. Obviously he knew the value of the cars before beginning to work on them. The higher the potential value of the finished vehicle, the less the cost of dipping was a factor. More than anything, he was like an artist with a preference for clean sheet beginnings. I regret never asking him the question regarding dipping results and the continuation (or discontinuation) of the project. The Porsche in this video appears to need a lot of work. It leaves me wondering if the value of a 1974 Carrera will accommodate the hours of labor it will take to get the metal in acceptable condition to commence with the remaining time and money needed to finish the job? Not an unusual question I understand. I get the impression that even guys like Jay Leno have to decide to hit the go/no go button. This generation of Porsche is not one I know much about. However if other viewers watching have an idea of what happens next with this car, I'd be curious to know. Thank you.
Candidly, as the owner of this car, my initial impression was that we may want to consider bailing, but after Porsche verified not only that she’s a very early chassis US market Carrera Targa in original No. 137 Lime Green, but optioned with a russet interior, and a true 1 of 1 car. the Metal work is nearly done, the doors, original ducktail hood and front fenders are already in primer, and the balance of the chassis and bits will be in paint in less than a month. Not a cheap project, but was bought right, is numbers matching, and among the rarest of the rare vintage Porsche. Will be right at home parked next to my 74 Mexico Blue Carrera Coupe!
@@christopherminks6607 Thank you!! That was great news to hear. This not a project that will get parked for years. It is the hands of someone dedicated to completing the car. And yes, it will look radiant next to the Mexico Blue Coupe. Thank you again for responding to this comment.
Thanks buddy! I don’t like to do them a lot because I feel it annoys people. Definitely more videos coming up. I have 5 videos that just need edited up. I should have another up by the end of the week!
I think you will find that the yellow is a sort of spray putty used in the past. Here in Oz in the 70s it was called Golden Glaze. A rusty roofless VW beetle. Currently less torsional strength than a mattress
I really want to weight a car before and after. Need to find a way to do that. Our scale is in area where I can’t put a car on it. One day I’ll find a way to do it
when you started the pressure washing and I thought "that comes off nicely" only to realise its just another silver paint coat and their are 5 layers to go to get to bare metal...
Thanks buddy! The owner is on here he said the metal work is almost completely finished. This car was actually stripped months ago just got to editing the video and posting it.
Awesome video. I love that poison green colour, I assume it's the original colour. I hope they restore it in that same colour, I can't imagine they'd choose a different colour. Especially that dull grey 😁. At some point in time bright colours for sure went out of fashion, luckily bright strong colours are nowadays (since 2 decades or so) associated again with fast, sportive cars (although lots of Porsches are still bought in grey and black, the faster models (like gt3 etc) are often brightly colourd, same goes for Lamborghini's, Lotussen, Mclarens etc.) Having a vintage Porsche in such a bright original colour is probably a dream for many car enthousiasts (of course the paint won't be original, but having a completely restored one is nice too 😉).
Thanks for your comment - I’m the owner and the car is nearly complete with metal work and will indeed soon be back in its original Factory No. 137 Lime Green paint…its being restored to a concourse level and we intend to hit the important Porsche concourse events around the country.
How much does it usually cost to have a chassis like this done. And if its got a subframe do you do that too while its connected to the car or seprately?
Hot alkaline, even a weak solution would be absolutely horrible. A 50/50 lye solution on your skin is something you won't soon forget. Even just a drop or two. Safety first!
Thats a wrecked 74" Porsche 911, but I dont think it was iriginally built as a Carrera. I believe it made into a "Carrera". There were not many original made and what few that havent wrecked are worth a pretty penny. Thise are not tje correct flares from the body, the body panels themselves are much to thin of a gage metal, one reason of hiding the sin of cheap replacement parts and many layers of filler and paint may have caused thise panel to warp badly... most especially after the wreck. Thank you for anotjer wonderful video Mr. Trevor.🙏💜
Hey thanks for your opinion, but unfortunately it is an ill informed one. This car was bought reasonably, due to its needs. It was fully PPI’d, and verified as not only a genuine 74 US Market Carrera Targa, but a very early chassis, with genuine and correct rear RS flares, and factory welds. Added to that history, the car was optioned with an original russet interior, and while not my taste, renders it (as verified by Porsche) a true 1 of 1 car. The metal work is nearly complete and the car is being restored by a top, well respected Porsche restoration shop (60 year history in restoring Porsches) and will be back in its factory original No. 137 Lime Green color, to a concourse level. When we put the chassis on a jig we were shocked to discover how solid and straight it remains - the doors and targa top fit without shims or issues the day we received it back from 3S Chemical. I am working on the car with the shop and putting hands on each element of the process (I’m a “built not bought” kind of guy). Not a project for the weak of hear, but only to the brave go the spoils! I hope you have the opportunity to see this car when it is complete at the Amelia, or a Porsche Parade, the Greenwich or the Audrain some day soon, as we intend to show it for the first year after its restoration is complete - and thereafter, will drive the piss out of it, along side my 74 Mexico Blue Carrera Coupe! All the best.
@@christopherminks6607 I am sorry please forgive me, it was truly my misinformed mistake. I am not an officianado of Porsche and truly know very little. My Forte is in American Ford classics. I am truly grateful to hear that she is going to be in amazing and incredibly capable hands and lineage, with you also putting in tje sweat equity and hard work. I would truly love to see photos of the process, as well as finished product.🙏💜
17:34 That repair just shows that you should use quality steel to make repairs, otherwise you'll just have to replace it after a few years. Repair the repairs
A little metal work put on the correct quarter panels and a great paint job it's going to be a beautiful car. Of I got this car back like this I would be excited because I know what it could be a lot of potential. If course if the owner has already paid a lot of money then I could see this might not be the out come he/she was hoping for. I always Google the year and model of the cars on here just to get a picture of what the car should look like.
Thanks for your comment - I’m the owner, and this is in fact a factory verified original 73 Carrera Targa, one of only the 249 originals made, and in fact a very early car (the rear quarters are in fact original - the early cars had welded on rear fender flares from the RS program - making this even more rare. In truth, the car was originally optioned with a russet interior, rendering it a true 1 of 1 car…hence our commitment to its concourse restoration! Fortunately I didnt’ pay too much for it to begin with!
This is the office number (814) 749-9015. Sorry about that I get thousands of messages and 90% are junk so hard to sift through them. Also I don’t do the scheduling I’m just the shop guy. They will get you all setup
I had a car dipped many years ago, 30 or so. My only issue is the stripper materials stayed in a few places, hidden in crevices as it couldn't be washed out. It has caused a few issues. I don't remember the neutralizer part of the process. Is that how you insure that remaining elements don't come out and cuase issues? If not, how do you make sure it's all removed.
The heaviest rot is in the main structural part of the car, the part you can't afford to replace unless the car's value would be well above $100K. But maybe it is... Nah, they'll cover it up again.
This car is a valuable car restored and there is no structural rot on the vehicle - it is remarkable solid and already nearly complete with metal repairs and will soon be in prep for paint
I alway wonder when you spray of the dirt with water does the water start corrosion on the naked steel? Or is there something added in the water you use to spray it of?
do you have any links of the guys that work on the car after ur done with it? would love to watch that. and do you they use bondo or Could you fill holes in with TIG welding?
Yes, I have a scaffolding rig the cars attach to and I hit them from underneath. I have it in a few videos. Hard to make usable footage. Camera gets soaked and lighting is bad
dude i need to de ruat my motorcycle gas tank. advice is this regard would be much appreciated. what chemical or acid would you recommend for gas tank? how long it should left inaide the tank and everything.
Multiple accidents. Prior rust repairs all over. Thin metal meaning it has probably been dipped before. Boogered up welds…and this is supposed to be one of 248 Carrera Targa’s shipped to the US that year? Possible but more than likely a run of the mill wrecked coupe that was modified.
Thanks for your opinion, but this has been verified by Porsche as a genuine 74 Carrera Targa, and an early chassis with proper, original RS flares welded at the factory to the chassis (cars prior to approximately chassis 150 or so had RS welded on flares and not the later SC pressed rear quarters. We are actively working and nearly complete with the metal work and will have this rare car back in its factory No. 137 Lime Green paint within the next couple of months, and its factory original Carrera engine is presently being rebuilt…this is a concourse restoration project, of a very rare, limited run car. And only the brave get the spoils! This will be welcome in the stable once completed to live along with my ‘74 Mexico Blue Carrera Coupe!
@@minute_of_dangle Don't need to apologize but it would probably be a good idea to find the problem and fix it. Issues like that tend to shorten the life of your electronics. Thanks for the content.
It is an original, Porsche verified, factory lime green (Code No. 137) 74 Carrera Targa. One of only 137 made, and this one, originally optioned with a russet interior, is a 1 of 1 car - a big reason for our project, restoring it to concourse quality.
@@christopherminks6607 Typo...one of only 248 made, 1 of 11 Carrera Targa in Lime Green (code 137) and 1 of 1 due to its original Russet Red interior option
LOL…harsh. But this is an early Porsche verified 1 of 1 factory lime green US market numbers matching 74 Carrera Targa. Rarest of the rare, and is currently undergoing a concourse restoration. Thanks for viewing!

Love your video, but really hope you can fix that annoying crackling sound when pressure washing.. painful to listen to 😢
How do you do the underneath?
do you do the underside?
the reason i only buy cars like this in california nevada that have never left...
do you have any links of the guys that work on the car after ur done with it?
would love to watch that. and do you they use bondo or Could you fill holes in with TIG welding?
You should make yourself a stripper-name. Chet, Brandon or Lyle might work... idk...
🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking cinnamon
@@minute_of_dangle I would love some cinnamon bun! Go gurl! 🤣
@@henriks5008 🤣
And they say Italian cars are bad .......
But isn't there acid in hidden rooms ? You do not get high-pressure washing in all rooms ?
It was a mistake not to open up the rockers and remove the heater tubes!!!
@@ryanl8653 Not an inch of this car has been ignored nor will anything be neglected in its restoration I assure you!
What is the newest car you have done?
Do you lift the cars up and pressure wash the bottom too? If yes how.
Yes, I have a scaffolding rig the cars attach to and I hit them from underneath. I have it in a few videos. Hard to make usable footage. Camera gets soaked and lighting is bad
dude i need to de ruat my motorcycle gas tank.
advice is this regard would be much appreciated.
what chemical or acid would you recommend for gas tank? how long it should left inaide the tank and everything.
Do you have a dip that prevents rust? In most vehicles, there a lot of spots where paint cant reach.
Yeah the cars are dipped in a water based rust inhibitor after
Could you actually make a video of a car from stripping to finishing complete with engine
I’d love to but a lot of this restorations take years and getting the owner to cooperate over that amount of time is nearly impossible
Multiple accidents. Prior rust repairs all over. Thin metal meaning it has probably been dipped before. Boogered up welds…and this is supposed to be one of 248 Carrera Targa’s shipped to the US that year? Possible but more than likely a run of the mill wrecked coupe that was modified.
Thanks for your opinion, but this has been verified by Porsche as a genuine 74 Carrera Targa, and an early chassis with proper, original RS flares welded at the factory to the chassis (cars prior to approximately chassis 150 or so had RS welded on flares and not the later SC pressed rear quarters. We are actively working and nearly complete with the metal work and will have this rare car back in its factory No. 137 Lime Green paint within the next couple of months, and its factory original Carrera engine is presently being rebuilt…this is a concourse restoration project, of a very rare, limited run car. And only the brave get the spoils! This will be welcome in the stable once completed to live along with my ‘74 Mexico Blue Carrera Coupe!
Is there an industrial size unltrasonic unit- it seems that would reduce the soak time and increase your productivity.
That would be great. Maybe one day we can get something like that
I saw the skull
Any idea what is causing all the crackling in your audio when the sprayer is on?
Honestly no, maybe my hand placement on my phone. Sorry about that
@@minute_of_dangle Don't need to apologize but it would probably be a good idea to find the problem and fix it. Issues like that tend to shorten the life of your electronics.
Thanks for the content.
What color didnt they paint this poor car
How does this cost?
how much does it costs to dip a Porsche 911.
Glad it’s not my car.
Glad it’s mine…nearly complete with the metal work and will be back in its factory original lime green paint before too long!
Trevor you are the best stripper ever 😂😂
Best compliment I’ve ever been given 😂. Thanks buddy!
Trying to figure out the original color? 🤣
It was green under where the customer took the tag off so maybe it was green? hahahah
Green 🍏
It is an original, Porsche verified, factory lime green (Code No. 137) 74 Carrera Targa. One of only 137 made, and this one, originally optioned with a russet interior, is a 1 of 1 car - a big reason for our project, restoring it to concourse quality.
@@christopherminks6607 Typo...one of only 248 made, 1 of 11 Carrera Targa in Lime Green (code 137) and 1 of 1 due to its original Russet Red interior option
It would be cool to then dip it in a chrome bath and hard chrome the whole body
Wow. It must be depressing to get it back in this condition. It would almost be less expensive just to buy a different one.
Sounds like a wreck like Tim Burton would buy, Loads of money does not mean Brains.
LOL…harsh. But this is an early Porsche verified 1 of 1 factory lime green US market numbers matching 74 Carrera Targa. Rarest of the rare, and is currently undergoing a concourse restoration. Thanks for viewing!
@@christopherminks6607 WOW what a find, in that case worth every dollar spent.
@@kennethbowry1521 LOL…we’ll see!!
