The Porsche is back! 😎 Thanks Dominic, always a joy to watch your videos every Sunday!
Dominique!
Absolutely loved it ! 😊❤
The 356 is coming along nicely.
356 Day is a GREAT day, Thanks Dom!
I haven’t watched for almost a year, and binged to catch up. You are demonstrating the time and patience required, while also showing it’s not out of reach for most competent people with the will and commitment, you’re an inspiration!
That’s very kind, thank you!
All hail the 356. Great to see work on it being carried out. Hang in there Dom.
Yay! Dom in his element, welding, hammering, cutting with the grinder... Thank you for progress on the 356!
Good job, Don🎉🎉
Hallelujah the work on the Porsche lives . Shame John ain't with you . He loves that spot welder 😁 Dom whatever you do on your channel is fine by me. Just great stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
Very good. The elephant gobbling metaphor is a good one for such a monumental undertaking. It's so easy to imagine that I'll just chop out the rusty sections and weld in some new stuff. You're showing us how far from simple it really is. I really admire you for doing this to such a high standard without a specialized, elaborate restoration garage.
Great to see you making progress on the 356.
Thanks 👍
I lived most of my adult life in the USA Rust Belt States. It's not the best environment for anything made of steel, so battling rust was a constant task. The cars were sometimes so badly rusted there was no remaining connecting metal. And as you point out, there were often critical structural areas where three or four panels overlapped. I admire your persistence, craftsmanship and optimistic nature as you peck away at the rot, bringing this one back from the dead. It's a noble cause, indeed!
Glad to see you are back on the 356👍👍. No John 😮.
As always an excellent video Dom. I know from the many vehicles I have restored you start cutting and welding in new panels and it's like chasing smoke. Cut out one piece and you find more rot, repair that and find more rot. Thats just the way it is, I'm afraid.
But we all have to dream of what the car will look like when she is finished. We all have that dream....... car finished and off down the road we drive. That's what keeps us all going.
This is the only reason that I follow this channel.
I never cease to be amazed that you are never daunted by the sheer scale of the tasks which you undertake. What a pal you have in Jon, you make a great team. Great entertainment for us viewers. Thanks Dom, keep up the good work.
Sunday mornings always start with Dom and a cup of tea. Nice to see you back on the Porche!
Great to have this update on the 356. Time for a general update on all the projects (aero-engine car, pedal car, Golf Pickup and the Land Rover)? More generally, really enjoy being "in your workshop". Thanks.
Great to see you working on the 356, progress is progress.
Only thing I've subscribed to. Great videos. Really appreciate your attention to detail. It's so essential. The craftsmen that originally built that car would be smiling.
Woop woop. I actually love the sound of that spot welder!
Can you recycle those little bits of steel you cut off and that fall to the floor?
And you're definitely NOT an idiot!
PS Dan... loved the elephant trumpeting!!
Dominic, thank you for returning back to the 356. I had given up hope of seeing another episode before my passing!
Great to see progress on the 356
Lovely to see an artisan at work 👍
Love this Dom - this is the meat in the sandwich! (And gives in inspiration to all those who think they have difficult restoration projects until they see this - ha ha)
Great to see you working on the 356 again, I’d completely given up on it, so pleased to see progress 👍
Ah Dom! Always a great day for all of us when the 356 and spot welder finally meet! Like you say, never remove too much old metal in one go, I fell foul of that approach when I first began restoring. It will get done taking small steps.
Nice work Dominic. Looking good! Well done.
Great update- Keep them coming! Love to see the work on the 356!
love your work! I hope there are updates a soon as possible! I’m from Germany and the Name is PorschE, the „E“ at the end isn’t silent! 😜
Keep up your great work 💪
Great to see Porsche progress!
Yay, great upgrade. Still lots of bites before the elephant is eaten. 😅 But this is looking really good. Hope the next update is not gonna take a long time.
So excited to watch this. Hope you are able to get the bug for this project again!!!
keep going dom more 356 episodes please😁
About time you got stuck into it again! You know it’s John’s favourite project.😂
Slow and steady wins the 356 restoration. 👏🏻👏🏻
356 - what a great Christmas present to all your subscribers! I honestly thought this was an impossible project when you started it (pulling the doors off by by hand - no tools needed).
I'm trying to imagine how radiant your well-deserved grin will be when you finally get it drivable. Massive respect Dom; thanks.
great to see you back at it again, alot done and more to go
Nice one Dom, good to see progress on the Porsche, at least you have pleased all the moaners now!! I’m happy to see your updates as and when, I’m more interested in the Edwardian ! So many projects, and so little time, I dont envy you at all ! Always look forward to my Sunday episode whatever it may be, have quite enjoyed the J40 journey so far, keep it going.
Mission creep strikes again, loving the progress..keep on keeping on! 👍
Great memories of cutting, forming, machining, welding, hammering, cursing and swearing. Thanks for your great content Dom and bringing me back in the shop vicariously with your videos!
Fantastic to see you back on the Porsche , keep up the good work 🤩✨🙌👏👏👏
I don’t mind that it’s a 14:46 minute snippet of the Porsche 356 rebuild - I’m just happy that it’s still a viable project 👌 Your focus on detail is what’s going to separate it from some of the more questionable examples I’ve looked at over the last couple of decades.
I don't think people have a real grasp on how astonishing an automobile assembly line is unless you have restored automobile , the 356 is shaping up and no need to rush because Imo this is the fun part the part you will look back on my fondly than the driving , heck you know that more than most lol
Perfectly happy with a short run of Porsche vids,maybe with an aero engine update somewhere in there too.Cheers Dom
Thank you Dom: always pleased to watch you work on any project. Best wishes.
Yes! Thank you - lovely to see some more 356 work. Another couple of episodes on the Porsche would make me and many other people on here very happy. Keep it up Dom - thanks
Looking good Dom 👍
Thanks 👍
Loving that you are back working on this, come mate, you can get it done
Good to see the 356 back on your schedule.
I am enjoying the updates on the 356. It sometimes looks as if it is 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but as you mentioned progress is being made. Just sad that @honestjohn did not get to play with the spot welder.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love the 356
Yippee back on the Porsche (pronounced Porsche AHH). Don't let John know you used the spot welder without him he will get jealous.
great to see his on he go again. One of my favourie RUclips projects.
Roast dinner and Dom's video, it's what Sunday was made for 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, 356 progress! A little here and there adds up. Jon must have been stuck in traffic again. 😂
Great to see the Porsche back again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
About Time! I've been awaiting more work on this classic.
Good progress on the 356, one bite at a time Dom.
Keep chipping away can't wait to see the engine build/rebuild😊
That spot welder is great, but that Tig.... is art.
Yes happy to nsee progress on the 356A! This is what I signed up for, but honestly, I've enjoyed it all. Looking forward to more in the upcoming year!
Nice to see that you are continuing to work on the Porsche 356. I'm looking forward to more videos with body work on the Porsche. Good Luck.
Porsche restorations are my favorite to watch
I just finished binge watching all the episodes leading up to this one. I am hooked! What a labour of love this car is. I can't wait to see the next episode and also the first time it rolls out of the shop under its own power again. Amazing work!
You'll be Doc Hollywooding around in no time Dom. Keep the faith!
Peeling the Artichoke! Thanks for the update!
well done for getting back to you project your work shop looks as cold as mine going by your breth
Love the 356 videos. Merry Christmas
Well done you have done a fair amount. 😊
Your doing well 👏 🙌 👍
Hi Dom, wishing you Jon, Camera Dan (and Wendy!) a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Can't wait to see what 2025 brings!
I bet a lot of lessons learned from the peddle car are making the Porsche better
As you say, the back end really is starting to take form now and looking marvellous. I must admit I was nervous for you when it was all apart and awaiting the delivery of panels from the states! Well done.
Looking good as the Phoenix rising from the ashes. It’s all about the journey and this will be an epic one when driving to Goodwood hopefully. Cheers. Thank you.
A new workshop tour would be awesome!
Love it - back on the Porker!!
It’s amazing how manual the original build process must’ve been with all those complicated shapes to fit together. I’ve only managed a flat two inch square patch on my own project today so, good progress there!
I enjoy all the content on your channel, Dom, and especially the variety, so a Porsche update is welcome, in turn.
I'm sure the many Porsche fans would want more Porsche, but the 356 project is going to be a case of cut-shape-weld-grind-repeat for a long, long time to come, so I'd just like to say that this was about the right length for the new content (for the non-Porsche followers).
Nevertheless, I hope you do manage to find the time to get some serious progress over the next few weeks. Cheers.
The Porsche is back!!! Dom, just look how far the car has come! Remember when the rear of the car was a rusty mangled mess!? You are making progress, mate! The elephant is being eaten!
Have a look at Yorkshire Car Restoration, you can see how they rebuild a car like a jigsaw, maintaining edges, jut like you are doing. Great work Dom.
Great one Dom... glad we are back on the Porsche. But did you ask Jon's permission to use his favourite spot welder..??😂 Can't wait for more. 👍🏴
Thanks Dom Merry Christmas
All progress is good Dom.
Well done Dom. Also good to hear about another series of The Repair Shop. I had seem talk of it ending.
I only watch your channel for this!!
Glad you’re back at it !
Great to see an update on the Porsche! Looking good!
Good work, Dom. Jobs like these always take at least 3x longer than anticipated..
Dominic, I really enjoy watching the 356 take shape. The other great adage, "Rome wasn't built in a day", as well as, "Slow and steady wins the race". You'll get there, mate! Also, I've watched "The Repair Shop" from the very beginning, and I can say that it is my favourite program. There isn't one episode that is my favourite, because they're all wonderful to watch and they bring a tear to my eye, from time to time. You and your co-workers are the most talented craftsmen and artisans I've ever seen assembled under one roof, you are all truly the dream team of restoration.
Nice to see some progress on the Porche Dom Great work and video as ever fella. Still a bit to do but you'll get there. Thanks for sharing😊
Any progress is always worth watching,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏🤠
Yayyy We all love the Porsche!
Looking forward to seeing it finished. I'm sure you are as well.
Absolute class as always! ... sick work !!!
Thanks mate!
Dom you should be very proud of yourself, such a great job and its a pleasure to see such brilliant progress. Keep up the work and a Merry Christmas to you and and the team working on all your projects. :-)
Dom, As I work on my '57 356A I tell people it's like working on an onion. We just keep pealing back layers until we can start building it back. LOL
Good to see it coming along.
Great coming on nicely the 365 is really beginning to take shape nicely. better to find them niggly bits now than later down the line. Carry on regardless. =
Looking good Dom.
Great, industrial sewing at its best😅👍
Nice to see the Porche being worked on.
