The last 10 minutes of this video with you ripping it around and proving it’s actually a dialed in “LEGIT” streetcar is everything. Too many RUclips builds where they cobble a car together and never dial it in. Love it. Great job Alex.
@@joelynch7541 I was thinking more “B is for Build” but I guess Tavarish could be. He did some performance driving stuff to show that the build was finished for Car trek in the 675LT though. I haven’t watched much of his stuff prior to that though.
Love the 911 series. Mostly because you’re cleaning up somebody else’s rush job and making it legit. And you’re selling the car but making it legit. For the love of the game/car.
Man I absolutely enjoyed the series on this car. Absolutely everything that Alex has done on this car has been amazing. From fixing the fans on the car so it doesn't overheat, proving yet again that he deserves the title of Master Technician, to installing power steering and a working AC - absolutely amazing. I hope Mike is going to drive the absolute bananas out of this car and enjoy it to its core.
I owned that 1996 B4 Passat TDI wagon for 11 years befor I sold it to Jordan. It had over 300k miles on it when he bought it from me back in 2020. That car is heavily modified, but I'll let him chime in if he wishes. I'm glad he's taken such great care of it!
Dude, that's awesome, love to see another B4 Passat, especially one in that good of condition. I just imported a 96 wagon from the Netherlands, I think it's the only gas engine wagon in the states
Very few viewers have probably had the chance to enjoy the beauty of the light, fun, and very tactile air cooled 911s deliver. If you consider yourself a car person, you gotta drive one. No NEED for a crazy 2.7sc either, although club sport is always more better. 😊
I just want to say that I wish all mechanics had the same attitude as you. It's not just about selling something; you actually take pride in making sure things work the way you would want them to yourself. I have great respect for you
The right and left-handed versions of sheers are to cut left or right circles. Not really for what hand they go on. At least in the hvac world that is the case
36:47 Alex! When you make those splices, if you offset them in the harness they tuck in much better instead of having them both at the same space in the harness. If you offset them the fit just a little bit better!
Indeed and a little Tesa tape goes a long way for a clean look. I used to always do my stereos all even and it was pain getting things to fit nice. Once I learned this trick from a professional installer it was much better. Also he didn't like to solder connections and said a good waterproof / heat shrinkable ones are much better and now they make the ones that are a combo of solder and crimp/heatshrink.
The Porche turned out awesome. I have to chime in about your large drying towel. You're not giving it near enough credit or praise. I'm a truck driver, and use it on my truck whenever I wash it at home, then also dry my Silverado almost immediately after. It works flawlessly on both. Super great product!
One of the reasons I love this channel is because of the "Legit Street Cars" mentality. Anyone can take any car and slap a massive engine in it and make it fast but at the cost of comfort and driveability. Make it operate like a stock vehicle with all the creature comforts but still modified and fast. That's why this is my favorite channel.
I agree with your statement that this car is a perfect marriage between American muscle and European handling. It smacks you over the head with that exhaust note. Very cool creation. You brought it a long way in refinement and speed. Well done Alex🎉
Would throw a little primer on the cut edge of the trunk lid holes, water will make it in there for sure. I've also used grease just to keep the water off the raw edge.
So When this video got out I was in the hospital after hitting a moose in my jeep. And I still watched it and it made the pain bearable . Or the pain killers they put me on. Lol. Keep up the content It brings me much joy and entertainment every time you post.
I used to own a 964 and a 993 about 20 years ago (before the kids arrived and I needed a real backseat). Great cars...both. However, the idea of an LS motor gives me a good feeling. Nothing against the OE motor...but I would imagine the LS, especially in the USA, makes for an easier car to run daily and maintain at a more reasonable cost. Even when it comes to simple things, like changing spark plugs...the LS seems a more friendly experience (i.e. no +$1K engine drop). Great job! NICE car!
Man what a treat 3 videos from legit street cars this week! I enjoyed the Oldsmobile videos a lot I can't wait to see you do the timing belt etc on that engine such a weird engine for GM! Now we get an update on the Porsche this is going to be great! Cheers and happy Saturday to 1 of the best RUclips channels legit street cars! Happy legit street car Saturdays everyone Cheers 🍻🍻😎🇺🇸
As for the oldsmobile - i knew from 1st ep that ignition coil is failing. Got my knowledge from Renaults from ~2000-2010 with their CoP setup. Those are still so f... unreliable. And they work when they are cold. Starting cold engine is great. But when they are on edge of failing... cold starts are still great, but when engine is hot or warm. Youre goin to flood the engine. And they were used in all kinds of engines. 1.6 K4M? 2.0 F4R? 2.0T F4RT (lol Fart)? Yeah. All of them had them. (Valeo part nr 245104).
@@mmllmmll22 That's not always the case I have a 1989 Chevy celebrity 2.8 l V6 I have very similar issues as to what Alex had with his Oldsmobile and I have done everything Alex did ignition control module coils fuel pump all sensors still having the same issue only thing I haven't done is my fuel pressure regulator which is I'm thinking the problem
I absolutely love this car. I almost bought it from the guy you bought it from. But I decided not to when I found out it overheated. Glad I didn't buy it with all the problems you had with it. But now it is a real LEGIT STREET CAR. Great job on the car. The new owner is going to have a bad ass car.
So many options for hearing protection, pick one! As cool as I think this car is, I'm so much more excited about the Cuddy! I agree on seats and steering wheel. That red glow on the A/C button is sick, and i love the hood pin buttons on the engine compartment.
Hi Alex, rivnuts are a great option I just use stainless steel the difference in cost between stainless and coated mild steel is insignificant based on the numbers used but you never have to worry about corrosion as long as you seal the raw steel, just seems like no brainer for me 🤷🏼
Massachusetts 958 right now. Having coffee. Almost forgot about the LS swapped Porsche. Nice to see power steering and AC. Have too say Alex you do amazing work.
Metal shears come in right, left, and straight configuration. It helps keep the sheet metal nice on one side of the cut while curling up and discarding the metal on the outside
My Dad had those types of shears about 60 years ago when he built his Bushby Midget Mustang P-51. He started in the basement, the next stop was the Living room, and finally the garage. He was a talented guy. i still have the shears.
A little ditty my dad made sure we knew before getting our first whittling knife. "Never cut towards your thumb, always cut towards your chum. You can't get another thumb but you can get another chum."
My father tried to teach me similar when I went into Cub Scouts, but he cut his finger showing me what not to do and all I remember was him calling the wooden block a "dumb c*nt" then a bunch of F bombs.
Alex I have thoroughly enjoyed this video series as well as every other video that you do. I never comment on any videos, but I had to comment on the fact that I love everything that you do, the cars you work on and your attitude and passion towards fixing and showing how to fix. Thoroughly enjoy your channel, thank you!
Alex your car collection… even with the McLaren, Porsche, Ruby, cop caprice, gone or going to be is a perfect legit street car garage and your Mercedes cars are the cherry on top…. I would love to see u get an actual 3rd gen Camaro or even better find a 3rd Gen trans am GTP or maybe a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 door GTP omg sooo awesome!!!!
Nice! The 3M tape is AWESOME!.....They spec it as "VHB Tape"......Very High Bond.....really awesome to see the progess, and great to meet you at the Edison Park Car Show a few weeks back!
Lesson learned - make sure your surface prep is appropriate and surface temp is 40*F and rising during application. Had an unexpected failure of VHB in a construction project, luckily no one got hurt but the root cause was either surface prep or surface temp related
Agreed, stuff works great. I said it elsewhere, but if needing to remove it after being stuck and applying heat causes concern, apply some isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, or mineral spirits and it typically comes apart fairly trouble free. Anything else that won't damage paint probably works just as well too. Happy wrenching out there.
@@pastaalalamborghini Yes. I was going to say the same thing - Surface prep is a must. Though, I hadn't heard about the surface temp stuff. My projects are mainly car badges, trim and the like not construction lol.
Alex, of all of the car channels I watch, and there are a lot, you are the only one that I don't personally get fatigued from. A perfect combination of personality/humor with great content.
Great series! I really enjoyed this one and I’m neither a Porsche or LS guy. Appreciate the street car part of your philosophy, I firmly believe in driving what you own.
Nerdy detail. That AC compressor likely wasn't vaccum sealed. Vaccum is a great way to get moisure out and find leaks, but it was likely dry nitrogen charged. Still nice to hear it was pressureized when you hooked it up, you know it's still sealed. You don't want to leave a system like that in a vaccum for extended periods of time. If there is a leak at a seal, it'll pull in dust and debris making a bad problem worse. You want higher pressure inside to push debris out if there is a seal leak.
I have to admit when this car first hit the channel it was only moderately interesting. But with all the work you've done and then turned up the horsepower - I'm sold!! What a great car!
I had emergency surgery Thursday night on my nuts and they didn't give me a prescription for pain pills. They released me last night and then I went back to the ER this morning in extreme pain and, thankfully, they got me this time. I always look forward to your vids. This one, however, was f'n necessary to give something to focus on. My nuts and I thank you
I LOVE the fact that you take the one-of-one SEMA Porsche to a tuner who has a handful of high six-figure McLarens parked outside, and you geek out over the manual-trans VW Passat wagon. I’m right there with you man!
Thanks for another great video, Alex! Much love and please keep up with all the unique cars. Loved the Olds W Body videos too. I love all the cars you pick. Good job :D
When running an IAT sensor, the closer to the engine the better. You want to accurately gauge what the temp is entering the car, as inaccurate temps can lead to detonation. A popular way to do this is actually drill into the intake itself, right behind the throttle body. But, I would have actually installed that IAT sensor on the 90 degree elbow, as that is much closer to the source.
Hi Alex, since the temps on the exhaust manifold are around 1100 to 1200 degrees or more under load are you going to use a heat shield for the lines and compressor for the A/C? Great Video Thanks 🙏
Loving the safety squint whilst drilling the trunk lid. I really appreciate the installation detail you show in your videos. Alex you are totally legit.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some ‹professional advice. ‹it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant
Common sense says that you should take the plate before you sell the car if you want it LMFAO, don't cater to people like that. Cant fix stupid. Zero benefit to you, only problems. No good deed goes unpunished as they say, thats a real thing lol. Guys like that are the reason the world is a Circus now. Help people that actually have a chance not people that impede the progression of society.
buttons on the left side of the head unit were available to turn off PSM (Porsche stability management), manually activate the decklid spoiler, and rear wiper swipe button.
Love the update on this car! Also at 41:50, I recognized the building in the background. I’m Canadian, but work for a company in that area - I’m there every few months. I always look out for your cars while I’m in the area. Maybe I’ll run into you at the Assembly for a burger! Haha
Aeroquip ez clip a/c fittings, you can build your own lines and no need to find a shop to build them for you. I built the entire ac system on my 1973 240z
The sonic tools are tin snips. They come in left, right, and straight versions so you can cut sheet metal in left curves or right curves without the tool getting too much in the way. You can see this on the wiss tin snip packaging for the different ones they have. M1 M2 M3 differentiate the direction they are.
Alex has our back. Finishes it for the series. Finishes it for the buyer. Legit! Too many other channels have so many unfinished projects. Not here. Great job.
Oh heads up on the trunk lid ! it probably was like that to help cooling. We do that for Vdubs and Porsche's because the air flow over the car drops in when its lifted. if you don't have it you will see higher coolant temps or the cooling will work harder. I know it don't look good on a Porsche but it does work. Anyway hope this helps with knowing why something was done that way.
The quality of your work is top notch and the way you tackle problems is inspiring! But the coolest part of what you do is your choice of cars for example the Cutlas Sumpreme Sport model that I never heard of,keep it up brother!
Damn I will miss this car. A car I have never owned or even driven! Beautiful build alex and thank you for not letting it go before it was a "daily" type car so we get closure. Means alot! Love the channel and keep this kind of stuff up.
Love this Porsche Alex and it has come out fantastic. I love how you mounted those hood pins, they look so good and being black they compliment the black details on the the car.
The button options on the horseshoe trim included spoiler up/down, door locks, targa top, rear defrost, door locks, seat heaters (some of these were in the bat wing too)….
Alex I agree hard to let her go, but totally enjoyed the whole "logit street car series" getting the final seal of approval and the kiss of good-by awesome.
Alex, for stepped drills i prefer masking tape on next size. So right when You went through with desired size, bigger one "clears" any sharp remainings.
The buttons on the middle console can be PSM ON/OFF, front window heating, recirculation, central locking button has been seen there on early models. So there is not really a given option per button, it depends on year and ordered options.
Careful with those cheaper push releases used on the rear engine cover, I used them on a project, the inside part where the rod snaps in comes loose and unthreads its self and it falls apart, it has 2 small holes and you can tighten the middle section with some small snap ring pliers
Legendary Alex.... I'm so glad I found your channel, especially on this sick LS Porsche. Can't wait to watch more...... Man that exhaust was next level... P.S I'm from Gold Coast, Australia
It’s such a cool car. You could just keep going with this car 🤔 every time I see it my head shouts out twin turbo LS 💥💥 Role Cage 👏🏻👏🏻 Big Wing 🦅 front wing single headlight conversion 🤩🤩 Splitters every were And so much more ☝🏻 it’s a keeper that just keeps giving 💪🏻😎👍🏻
I've been using around 2014 Altima electric steering pumps for retro fits these days. Otherwise I go manual steering and electric column on older stuff if needed.
Hello Alex from Ireland again Bro. I love this 911.. a beautiful Machine, but, I thought you Sold it when it was finished. Anyway, a wicked job with that Power Steering and A/C. Very nice. This Porsche is a One-off for sure. With everything it ever needed done to the highest standard. Amazing Car. Great video Alex. 🙏🙏👏👏👏👌👌
Tony Calvert from Spartanburg South Carolina. I love your channel. I’ve learned a lot! I love your bloopers. Keep up the great work. I was an ASC certified master mechanic for 40 years. I’m in my 70s love your channel thank you
Alex, it’s probably nothing, but something worth checking at 23:55 I can see very slight smoke from the wiring when you touch it. Please check around this area.

Red is Port side and Left handed cutting, green is starboard and right handed cutting, yellow is straight cutting.
Was about make this comment. It's to cut curves and control which side of the tool is the waste side
Yellow handle straights do all jobs "good enough for government work" 😂
That's what and we're I learned it too ... lwft cutters , right cutters , and straight sheers .. and don't forget your impact and bit drivers 😅

Don’t forget to coat the raw metal on your holes through the car’s body before you put the grommets on.
what things can you use to coat?
Isn't the rubber supposed to be tightly covering said metal?

Great series! I really enjoyed this one and I’m neither a Porsche or LS guy. Appreciate the street car part of your philosophy, I firmly believe in driving what you own.
Nerdy detail. That AC compressor likely wasn't vaccum sealed. Vaccum is a great way to get moisure out and find leaks, but it was likely dry nitrogen charged. Still nice to hear it was pressureized when you hooked it up, you know it's still sealed. You don't want to leave a system like that in a vaccum for extended periods of time. If there is a leak at a seal, it'll pull in dust and debris making a bad problem worse. You want higher pressure inside to push debris out if there is a seal leak.
What’s crazy is how easy you make everything look to do!
Come on I wanted to work on my truck now I gotta watch this lol
I have to admit when this car first hit the channel it was only moderately interesting. But with all the work you've done and then turned up the horsepower - I'm sold!! What a great car!
I had emergency surgery Thursday night on my nuts and they didn't give me a prescription for pain pills. They released me last night and then I went back to the ER this morning in extreme pain and, thankfully, they got me this time.
I always look forward to your vids. This one, however, was f'n necessary to give something to focus on. My nuts and I thank you
Damn my guy. Best wishes and quick healing to your gonads!
@@codypanek We appreciate it. Heh
Prayers up for your 🥜
Best wishes to you and your nuts bro 🙏
I LOVE the fact that you take the one-of-one SEMA Porsche to a tuner who has a handful of high six-figure McLarens parked outside, and you geek out over the manual-trans VW Passat wagon. I’m right there with you man!
Ahhh perfect timing for my Saturday morning adult cartoons 😅
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video, Alex! Much love and please keep up with all the unique cars. Loved the Olds W Body videos too. I love all the cars you pick. Good job :D
When running an IAT sensor, the closer to the engine the better. You want to accurately gauge what the temp is entering the car, as inaccurate temps can lead to detonation. A popular way to do this is actually drill into the intake itself, right behind the throttle body.
But, I would have actually installed that IAT sensor on the 90 degree elbow, as that is much closer to the source.
Hi Alex, since the temps on the exhaust manifold are around 1100 to 1200 degrees or more under load are you going to use a heat shield for the lines and compressor for the A/C? Great Video Thanks 🙏
As a vehicle community, I encourage us to take a moment for "Rabbit."
Let's show him the love and joy he brought to our community.
Loving the safety squint whilst drilling the trunk lid. I really appreciate the installation detail you show in your videos. Alex you are totally legit.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some ‹professional advice. ‹it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant
Common sense says that you should take the plate before you sell the car if you want it LMFAO, don't cater to people like that. Cant fix stupid. Zero benefit to you, only problems. No good deed goes unpunished as they say, thats a real thing lol. Guys like that are the reason the world is a Circus now. Help people that actually have a chance not people that impede the progression of society.
14:40 You need to cut throttle body pipe a little because it's coming way to deep into the bend pipe and restricting a flow
buttons on the left side of the head unit were available to turn off PSM (Porsche stability management), manually activate the decklid spoiler, and rear wiper swipe button.
Love the update on this car!
Also at 41:50, I recognized the building in the background. I’m Canadian, but work for a company in that area - I’m there every few months.
I always look out for your cars while I’m in the area.
Maybe I’ll run into you at the Assembly for a burger! Haha
Aeroquip ez clip a/c fittings, you can build your own lines and no need to find a shop to build them for you. I built the entire ac system on my 1973 240z
Car turned out perfect. The hood looks perfect, car runs perfect and now has the AC and power steering is back and running. Great job with this build.
You are technical, you document your process and simply it is easy and comfy to watch. Great vids
I appreciate that!
The sonic tools are tin snips. They come in left, right, and straight versions so you can cut sheet metal in left curves or right curves without the tool getting too much in the way. You can see this on the wiss tin snip packaging for the different ones they have. M1 M2 M3 differentiate the direction they are.
Alex has our back. Finishes it for the series. Finishes it for the buyer. Legit! Too many other channels have so many unfinished projects. Not here. Great job.
Oh heads up on the trunk lid ! it probably was like that to help cooling. We do that for Vdubs and Porsche's because the air flow over the car drops in when its lifted. if you don't have it you will see higher coolant temps or the cooling will work harder. I know it don't look good on a Porsche but it does work. Anyway hope this helps with knowing why something was done that way.
Loved this series! New owner is a very lucky man! Will miss seeing this beauty in the background of all your videos!
The quality of your work is top notch and the way you tackle problems is inspiring! But the coolest part of what you do is your choice of cars for example the Cutlas Sumpreme Sport model that I never heard of,keep it up brother!
I really enjoy your videos. I can appreciate the above and beyond mentality. The simple wire loom or heat shrink. Keep the videos coming.
I was already liking this one, but now that you got it all proper, it is such a cool car!
right and left hand snips are mainly for sheetmetal workers of hvac installers helps cut angles in tight spots
Damn I will miss this car. A car I have never owned or even driven! Beautiful build alex and thank you for not letting it go before it was a "daily" type car so we get closure. Means alot! Love the channel and keep this kind of stuff up.
I have a good tip for you alex. When using 3m tape always clean the surface thoroughly with alcohol. Then stick
Love this Porsche Alex and it has come out fantastic. I love how you mounted those hood pins, they look so good and being black they compliment the black details on the the car.
You blow my mind the way you jump right into any situation and make it look factory! Great job🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The stretched rear tires would need to go for me, otherwise I love the car. Another Porsche would be welcomed. How about a 928 or 944/968 turbo?
The button options on the horseshoe trim included spoiler up/down, door locks, targa top, rear defrost, door locks, seat heaters (some of these were in the bat wing too)….
Alex I agree hard to let her go, but totally enjoyed the whole "logit street car series" getting the final seal of approval and the kiss of good-by awesome.
Alex, for stepped drills i prefer masking tape on next size. So right when You went through with desired size, bigger one "clears" any sharp remainings.
The buttons on the middle console can be PSM ON/OFF, front window heating, recirculation, central locking button has been seen there on early models.
So there is not really a given option per button, it depends on year and ordered options.
tweeking and fetteling - all the small things = WOW real custom and over coming these little bug bearers - top quality = THANK YOU >
Fixing the front of that engine cover/trunk and the hood pins were a great addition.
Great job! Love the LS concept! They handle so well! And now it has balls, and it can keep them cool!
Careful with those cheaper push releases used on the rear engine cover, I used them on a project, the inside part where the rod snaps in comes loose and unthreads its self and it falls apart, it has 2 small holes and you can tighten the middle section with some small snap ring pliers
I absolutely have to hand it to you, not just is the car absolutely drivable now but you did it very tastefully. Job well done!
Legendary Alex.... I'm so glad I found your channel, especially on this sick LS Porsche. Can't wait to watch more...... Man that exhaust was next level... P.S I'm from Gold Coast, Australia
Seeing that smile on your face ripping it around is just awesome!
It’s such a cool car. You could just keep going with this car 🤔 every time I see it my head shouts out twin turbo LS 💥💥 Role Cage 👏🏻👏🏻 Big Wing 🦅 front wing single headlight conversion 🤩🤩 Splitters every were And so much more ☝🏻 it’s a keeper that just keeps giving 💪🏻😎👍🏻
12:49 rubbing alcohol will usually dissolve the glue.. Just have to get a syringe or cotton balls to dabble it behind the plate where the tape is.
Nice safety squints while drilling the engine lid.
Really enjoy this channel !!! It's literally one of the best car build youtube channels !!!!!
I've been using around 2014 Altima electric steering pumps for retro fits these days. Otherwise I go manual steering and electric column on older stuff if needed.
Buttons: Rear wiper, sport exhaust, lock unlock, rear defrost, PSM off, Raise/lower rear spoiler, cabriolet top up/down, targa shade deploy/retract. Probably others but who knows.
Thanks for the LS Porsche series! It’s been great and you some of the best content!!!
something I like about your channel - that you do actually finish stuff 👏
Those trunk clips are super sweet. I looked into the mattress sale but unfortunately it's a memory foam bed. I've never been a fan of memory foam.
Hello Alex from Ireland again Bro. I love this 911.. a beautiful Machine, but, I thought you Sold it when it was finished. Anyway, a wicked job with that Power Steering and A/C. Very nice. This Porsche is a One-off for sure. With everything it ever needed done to the highest standard. Amazing Car. Great video Alex. 🙏🙏👏👏👏👌👌
Tony Calvert from Spartanburg South Carolina. I love your channel. I’ve learned a lot! I love your bloopers. Keep up the great work. I was an ASC certified master mechanic for 40 years. I’m in my 70s love your channel thank you
Alex, it’s probably nothing, but something worth checking at 23:55 I can see very slight smoke from the wiring when you touch it. Please check around this area.
