I don't get it either. It makes me wonder how much more beautiful work I'm missing out on just because it never makes it to my feed. I'm so glad I found at least this.
Ah man I am getting more and more addicted to your videos. Loved the cinematic shots, loved the build up, loved the music and great to see the car move on. Thank you for taking your time to make and share the videos! Looking forward to the next one
Bei deinen Videos bekommt man immer wieder Lust selbst zu schrauben, aber dann fällt einem wieder auf, dass man keine komplett ausgestattete Werkstatt mit Hebebühne hat, sondern nur einen unüberdachten Platz im Hof auf dem man sich mithilfe von Wagenheber und Böcken im Dreck wälzt 😂 Wie immer sehr gut gelungen das Video !
Meine erste Schrauberei war am Straßenrand, eine K-Jet zerlegen. Mein erster Motortausch war draußen im Regen, Auto an Auto. Nach meinen ersten Schweißarbeiten habe ich im Auto übernachtet, weil es nach einem kleinen Brand nicht mehr fahrtauglich war. Es ist ein unfassbares Privileg diese Halle zu haben, aber das Gefühl etwas mit den eigenen Händen repariert zu haben - das geht niemals weg.
I work as a detailer, so I often listen to podcasts and music as I clean. Now, I watched the full adventure series you did with this car, and was blown away by it. But afterwards, I would listen to every video over and over again while at work. Even today I did it again. I'm a bit sad to see that car go, but I'm also just happy to see more videos from you. You asked what kind of content us viewers wanted to see on the channel. I know many of us love exactly what you make now, be it the builds or the adventures. I don't know how feasible this is, but maybe there's an opportunity to do more frequent but smaller roadtrips to nearby destinations? Well, whatever happens I hope the charm of your videos (the cinematography, the music, the cars, you) always remains in some fashion.
I just bought an 87 924s. Its been sitting in my garage for a few months. Your content has gotten me so excited to work on it this summer. Love it all, man. An absolute cinematic masterpiece.
I love the little story lines and how meticulous you are with everything. Top notch content!! Please don’t stop, i enjoy watching your channel very very much!
It's excellent that you did all that work freshening the car up for the new owner (especially if you hadn't charged him for the labor as part of the deal). It's really inspiring how you drop & disassemble the front and rear suspension (apparently without any hesitation) to clean them up as well; you're making me think seriously about doing the same on my 944S as I have all the necessary equipment to do it, except the lift... this is such a great channel!
thx - and you're correct, labour wasn't charged. I've done a few of these cars now so taking a refresh like this looks challenging, but is really just basic stuff. Torsion bars require some knowledge on setup because it is impossible to do with the axle in, the rest is nuts and bolts. Go do it, especially on a 944-platform car it makes a lot of difference!
You should never pressure wash the wheel bearing directly, it will push the grease out and it will run dry. Its the most common reason for wheelbearing failure. For anyone watching who are not rebuilding everything
Well it had to be done. The actual buildup (from galvanizing to driving car) was 48hrs, because I got into an extreme time crunch. I didn't like the lifted suspension, limited power and non-rear anti roll bar plus no LSD on road at all. On snow it was really smooth and still heavily oversteered, but on dry surfaces there was nothing to be had. Plus without any underbody protection (not really needed on snow) it was highly unsuitable for anything but road use. Really cool idea, but a one trick pony.
Nope, the 24S is ±40mm lowered and also open diff (LSD not fitted yet). It is built as a nicely driving street car, just as a widebody. I considered another rally build on that but it makes very little sense to destroy the almost perfect setup it has now.
Wow. Brilliant ending to this story. The Rallye Porsche brought me to the 924, which I am currently preparing for my daughter ;-) Great work and great filming! 👏
Schon die ersten Rover-Videos haben mich begeistert. Der Stil, die Perspektive und die Musik machen Deine Videos eher zu Kurzfilmen. Du könntest auch filmen, wie Du die Terasse fegst und ich wäre dabei. Aber dann kommen noch zwei meiner Herzensthemen dazu: Reisen und Fahrzeuge. Bitte höre nicht auf! Bietest Du eigentlich auch Bastelworkshops an? Ich habe noch ne alte Ente, die immer mal Liebe braucht. Herzliche Grüße aus SÜW
Ne alte Ente haben wir hier auch, aber an der habe ich noch nie eine Schraube gedreht. Ich bleibe wohl dran, vielleicht mache ich auch mal nen kleines Treffen...
Wow that car is effectively brand new underneath. The new owner will have very little to worry about. That's more work than I did in 3 years to restore my 924 Turbo to road legal condition. However mine didn't run either.
Suspension and brakes are to factory new spec, engine just got a major service. I reckon with a proper engine/trans rebuild and a half decent paintjob this car could turn heads.
He is exactly my age from back then and unlike me, I could help him out to get a head start with a car that was my learning experience. Passing on the torch is worth more than an unused rallye-build.
The 924 rally car is what got me started with your videos. That car was my favorite out of the entire collection and I’m really sad to see it go. But it’s not like you can keep every car.
It was sitting for two years at that point, with no intention of use by anyone around me. It‘s for the better, starting something similar with a different base.
Thay brake happened to me all the time! I had to changr the brakes to 944s ones! I had to spray with oil on a little hole to unstucked! To bad that you sell that beauty but looking forward to more porsche videos or that 928 behind! Btw come to Guatemala
Such a great video! After all the car has given many good stories. Would you mind sharing which changes to your previous lift setup you had to do to make it road legal here in Germany? Thank you!
beginning of this video, i was like ''yes! finally he is working on something that deserves it" than you ended with saying you need to work on peugeot... btw i found this channel way back by searching porsche rally. this was kinda emotional.
The car was still registered when parked there and it was uncertain what would happen with it. It was scheduled for a couple events, but those got cancelled due to covid so the car just stayed there...
That is one beautiful rally car. I hope the young guy takes care of it and has as much fun with it as you did. All is left if good memories. Looking forward to your new projects.
Just absolute respect for all the additional work done to this, even you know you two break apart.
Man, I still don't get how you are not getting 1M subs.
Enormous work, as usual.

Ja da hast du Recht, bestes Gefühl etwas selbst repariert zu haben.

What a nice story of the car! Will be better for a car to be driven and enjoyed on the roads again :) love your videos! Greetings from Czech

Your videos are so incedible beautiful!
Ich bin bei jedem aufs neue Sprachlos. Vielen Dank Dir!
Excellent video! You crammed most of my build series stretching nearly two years into 10 minutes🤣 I am curious why you said it did not handle well?
Well it had to be done. The actual buildup (from galvanizing to driving car) was 48hrs, because I got into an extreme time crunch.

Thanks @@OnlyARoadtripAway, good input. So I assume you have an LSD in your white one? I though that was lifted too?

Yes. Sometimes it's time to let go. Well done. Nice video. Thanks. I'm pretty new here, and enjoying your videos a lot!
Ein Kapitel geht zu Ende. Und die nächsten folgen.
Gespannt was noch so kommen wird.
I'm sorry to see the 'Camping Porsche' go but completely get your philosophy David. You have definitely proven the concept- truly inspirational work.
Love to see some updates here. Top notch storytelling and entertainment as usual!

Great to see the conclusion. This awesome vehicle got me in the channel, good to see what happened.

Good job 👍🏻👍🏻
My favourite channel 😊
Das ende einer wunderbaren Story .
Lovely, thanks for sharing :) danke!
Best automotive enthusiasts channel on YT 🙏
Viel Spaß an den neuen Besitzer!
Great vid, as always. With a nice depth and even suspension do over. Nice, but sad one. Cheers

Ouch I was looking to buy it to have the Mongol Rally 2025! Too late 🛞🏔️
Such a great video! After all the car has given many good stories.
Would you mind sharing which changes to your previous lift setup you had to do to make it road legal here in Germany? Thank you!
It wasn‘t legal.
@@OnlyARoadtripAway fair enough
wow...
beginning of this video, i was like ''yes! finally he is working on something that deserves it" than you ended with saying you need to work on peugeot...
btw i found this channel way back by searching porsche rally. this was kinda emotional.
Don't worry, there is always room for more.
pretty painful that the ebrake was used for a dead flat parking spot... nonetheless a gorgeous project and lively road ahead
The car was still registered when parked there and it was uncertain what would happen with it. It was scheduled for a couple events, but those got cancelled due to covid so the car just stayed there...
That is one beautiful rally car. I hope the young guy takes care of it and has as much fun with it as you did. All is left if good memories. Looking forward to your new projects.
Nooooooo!
The road ahead sometimes requires leaving old friends behind.
Tolles video! Würde mich freuen wenn mal wieder ein rallye umbau kommen würde, wobei es fast kein besseres auto für sowas gibt als ein 924/944
Ich glaube das wird sowieso passieren. Nur war der hier einfach nicht mehr die richtige Basis.
Well, now I want my old 924 back...
Sad times.
That 205... uff.
Well the 205 is much further along now, but remains not entirely trustworthy... 😂
@@OnlyARoadtripAway You've earned a trustworthy car, trice over if not more. Keep the good (and bad) stuff coming!
👍
It looks like Agfa Vista
"Proven the Concept" IF that isn't a "Rally Porsche 2.0 is coming" Confirmation i don't know what is.
🤔🤭
NO!!!! NOT THE camping Porsche
😢
I think that was the car that made the sub to your channel
I wish I was buying that from you
928???
Sure, why not?
i am looking for one, dear dutch neigbours ! if you have one for sell, contact me please
You can see the pain in his eyes telling the story about selling it ❤️🩹
