This is a Porsche 911 restoration that was abandoned in 1994 after being converted to a race car. My plan is a twin turbo Subaru EZ30 porsche engine swap with 400+ HP to the wheels. Stay tuned.
What do you guys think of this "no talkie" format?
Balance between the 2 would be nice.
I don't like it that much
Kind of reminds my of a “How it’s made” short episode. Maybe do a few deep tone voice overs for effect!
Maybe an Intro with a bit of a short voice over at spots. Maybe a play list - time stamp shot/ overlay if we want to skip to a particular spot. Mix it up. Probs way quicker for you and less likely to make the bloopers when your not commentating every step your doing. I like it mixed
Some times talk become just too much "jibber-jabber.
I found this video better without words.
And they say, "Actions speak LOUDER than words"

-I had a lot of custom work done on my 1986 Carrera (too much to put down here and it is your site anyway) and this was just one of the many things done. I didn't get to see the first part but I did get to see the butt welds and grinding. You're you video filled in the blacks I had on this process.
-I like how you use a pipe to align the torsion bar hole; another important part for getting the total alignment correct.
-Cut out a small hole you say. This looks like about 3+", not a small hole BUT a smart idea which I have never seen before.
-Cutting the chases to relive any pressure of form the body metal and the flar metal.
-I noticed you didn't cover the rear mirror glass.
-I have seen this process done on other channels but this this the best because of the details in the video and the words. Other sites just kind of buzz on when a few more words are important for the total grasp of the project.

I love the timelapse. Great work
Your welding has come a long way Michael since you started that Blasphemy build. - ( what is it 2 years or 3 now.) Time flies.
So impressed mate.
Gives me hope.
Just got myself a small plasma that also has DC Tig and MMA ( Arc) and only yesterday just got my regulator so going to start practicing TIG .
I have small gasless MIG ( self shielding wire) for box section and tube/pipe.
I wanted to challenge my self to learn TIG for panels.
As 18 gage/0.9 mm , 20 gage /1.2 mm or 16 gage/ 1.6 mm for heavier firewall type panels is all I can get hear from my local metal store and MIG is tough. (particularly gasless) in the thin stuff.
New Project hopefully as I hunt down an old Ute cab to start a rat rod build. Not cheap here in Aus- an early Chev, Ford, Dodge or Bedford in the late 40's can cost well over AUD$8,000.00 ( approx USD$ 4,800.00) and that is for a rusty relic. anything with minimal rust but lots of dings from 15K and upwards.
Not sure what make yet as old stuff so hard to find here in Aus.
Been a while between vids from you -.
Happy New Year for 2024.
Regards Michael From Aus.
Honestly I prefer to have you doing the narrating. Much more comical! 😂
Thanks!
Thank you for this video. This is your subscriber over in Los Angeles. Man I would’ve been scared to touch that car but I cannot wait to see what it’s gonna look like when you finish. So I’m waiting for the next video.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks bro!
I miss the normal intro and the dialog, but it's good to see you putting out some content. Now....to the point, you make it look easy. You've really got this figured out. I really should send buckle your way for some RS flares.
Yeah I thought i would mix it up a little bit today and see if the algorithm liked it any better.
@@rennch. Yeah, the pipe trick does make the rears look super easy to perfectly align. Did you come up with that trick or have I just never heard of it?
That's home brewed.
@@rennch. From one Gen-X BMX'er to another, that's rad.
Love it! @@davebuser
Hey man, good to see you're back at it! Keep up the good work
So good to be back in the garage...you have no idea!
Best video you have put out yet!
What brand flares are those? FVD? They look great!
I owned a 1988 Targa for 13 years .. bought it when it was one year old. That is a nice mod like the Speedster versions of the same vintage which had the turbo wide body from the factory.
I think it's going to be really nice when it's done.
Do you have to make any suspension upgrades or changes when converting to a widebody? Also noticed you lined up the flares w/out the wheels, it looks like that is ok?
Awesome video!
Thank you!
I know it’s not, but you sure make it look easy. Great work!
Thanks bud. Rinse and repeat.
You've really got this down and it's going to turnout top notch.
Thanks man...so far so good!
Just keep doing what you are doing. Love the "chatterless" vid music is great!
Thanks!
LOL, ya gotta love Fitzee.
He's the man!
Great stuff! Curious as to why you didn’t use your TIG to keep heat down and ease the weld rework. I’m am a supporter of your traditional videos but I am old. The kids probably like this format but about twice the speed and a quarter of the length. I vote for old vids with a supporting TikTik (or whatever they call it 😂. Big love and great to see you back in the happy room. Tom from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
My Tig skills aren't strong enough yet!
I may have missed it, what manufacturer did you use for the flares? are they a RSR flare or turbo style?
Would you consider selling me the flares that you removed?Btw it was. Nice seeing you on BidNerds.
Thanks man. The rears are salvageable, but the fronts had to be removed in a few pieces.
Funny you cover the door and window glass but not the side mirrors 🤔
Have you ever thought of trying those new type of laser welders for this type of job as they apparently have a much lower temperature?
Would LOVE to get my hands on one of those!
Looking good. I'm assuming it's getting a full respray?
Yes sir.
Can't be an '87 due to the CHMSL (third brake light) placement. '87s had it at the bottom of the rear window, rather than the top. All other CHMSL G-Modell years had it at the top. Black Porsche script on the Heckblende (reflector panel) is also a giveaway that this is an earlier car.
Not sure about the close your eyes and tack weld method. I’ve also watched Yorkshire car restorations do that on an 911. Can’t help thinking they wake up with arc eye in the morning
Your right about that
Well, the torch itself blocks 90% of the arc. Like holding your hand over an eclipse. :)
Enjoy both the talking and this format but miss the conversations and your commentary about the nuances and process. So that would be my vote with a voiceless supplemental as a separate video. Maybe asking too much 😂 but love the wide body considering the same. How many days or hours you in for something like this ?
This was just an experiment because RUclips seems to favor timelapse videos. But it's not doing much differently.
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a M491 optioned car?
I mean, he bought what he bought. The car is VERY clean so...
First comment!!!
I love carerra without the daft whale tail
Hard to watch. Nice Targa, Why Why Why :)
It was nice and tight!! At least it's going factory.
I had the same thought but we all don't wear red (or SpaceX blue). Very handy that the bumper extension seems to conform to the new wider fender.
@@OddJobFix I don't understand what you mean by "we all don't wear red"...but in this case, the heart wants what the heart wants. Glad you're doing ok though bud...stop by sometime.
Old fashioned way of saying different strokes of different folks. @@rennch.
