So many helpful install points. Thank you.
Awesome video Mike! Always rush to see your videos once you upload! Your attention to detail is therapeutic to watch.
Thanks Tony=) there sure is lots of tiny detail!
Awesome Mike, thanks!
Great work, Mike. Never gets old watching you work on this car!
Hi Derek
Happy Thanks Giving!
You are very devoted=) I think you are ready for that new project 2019!
Another great video! I am amazed. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks Ron
Next one in the works=)
Hi Mike,
Just want to let you know that I am still with you. Actually watching each episode twice for no other reason than for pure enjoyment. I just love how all parts shine and glisten and I am quite sure that your build outshines the standard 1967 factory quality level. Can´t wait to see the completed car!
Hi Anders
Thanks! Im glad you are still with us and enjoying the series
She sure is a lot shinier than she used to be=)
Finally all that sandblasting behind..didn't think it would ever end..
but at last something to see for all the hard work
I too can't wait to see her finished!
Fantastic as always!!
Thanks for always tuning in Rob
Glad you enjoyed!
Mike this is the most cleanest build resto ever in the world, I must say I am learning a lot from you every single time. You make resto work interesting to all of us. Looking forward to see this in person one day
Thanks Fawzi
Thanks quite a flattering compliment=) There are some beautiful builds out there but without a platform like youtube to showcase all the little detail..we never get to see any of it..But thank you Im quite humbled
Yes lets find a way see this in person some day!
Lovely work...how all car restorations should be done.
Thank you=)
Great video. You have a clean, well lit shop, lay out the parts in an orderly manner and speak clearly and logically. Wonderful!
Hello Joe Thank you we trying our best!=)
Coming along nicely Mike!
Thanks Feeesh!
Great video Mike! Always learn so much from these videos!
Thanks Kav
Like wise=) Its nice to see so much interest in bringing back these old cars!
Soon as I can get some free relaxing time Im going to make a coffee and sit down and check out you latest engine work..It looks fantastic!
Yes you are right=) it does take quite a bit of extra time when mixed in with making video
My goodness, that is some clean, beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Such a beautiful Build Sir
Thank you Chris!
Awesome Mike! Best video I've seen on the thrust washer adjustment. That confuses a lot of people.
Thanks Gary
Yes front bearings are sensitive to too much pressure..
that also would be the case with all cars=)
Another great video Mike.
Hi Brett
Thanks! I cant wait to get her back on the ground!!
Got my 911 fix!
Well done! Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you!
Hi Christopher
Thanks, Happy Thanks Giving to you too!
Great work, Mike! Just seems sad to have to daub this concours masterpiece in historic slate grey Nr. 6601 (Reutter 741) rather a more exciting slate grey metalic (22D)...but this way someone will pony up that extra 150,000 dollars if you use the period correct contrasting coco mats in bright red, which I wouldn´t want. But your workmanship is legendary and best of all, you still have a Dad to pump the pedal for you when it´s time to bleed the brakes! Super. Here in Germany, many 60s Porsche restorers are getting testy with the market and even entertain the thoughts of using Bentley/Morgan metallic green (very dark, looks black in the garage) rather than say, original Irish green (6606). Four years of painstaking work! May God bless you for your patience and relaxed demeanor with your admirers! All the best to you and your Dad!
Well done Mike.... Fastidious attention to detail as ever!
Hi Phil
Thanks, This project sure has plenty of small details
Im looking forward to some of the larger piece's though
Hood, Fenders, bumpers, windshield..=))
@@MikesRestorations It's coming together beautifully... I am looking forward to future installments!
Hopefully Mike will be dropping a new video soon. That would be an awesome Christmas present.
Hello Ron
Please look for your Christmas present Friday!
Merry Christmas
I'm going to kick off my shoes and make a drink before I watch this one. I love these videos!!
Thanks Calvin
How as that drink? sounds good and relaxing!=)
Mike, great video, great detail, I am currently restoring a 68 T. There is a Porsche part for the grommet that holds the parking brake tube through the tailing arm, I just fit them.
Hello John
Can you please share this part number and supplier?
It would be super helpful=)
A viewer awhile back commented and located these grommets but digging thru the videos to find could take hours!
Thank you and good luck with your 68T!
@@MikesRestorations It is called a friction ring and is a part listed for a 356, part number is 695.424.611.00, believe that I bought it directly from Porsche.
John Thank you for sharing
I will look it up and get a set from Porsche!
Happy Thanksgiving from Japan Mike. Great video as always.
Hi John
Happy Thanks Giving!
Japan? what a great time to visit there.
I have many great friends in Japan!
They all love the cars..classics and also many classic race cars. Fuji speedway was one of the coolest
places Ive been
Where are you staying?
Hi Mike, I live here in Tokyo. Imported my '67 from So Cal last year, and bought a '68 Alfa GT locally in 2016. You are right, there is a huge classic car culture here. If you are ever over, let me know!
John thats awesome!
My next visit to Japan I will reach out and lets hook up
Also would love to introduce you to my car friends there.
They are so cool.
I will post a link to my friend Motosan's car blog.
Motosan has quite a collection and lives in Yokohama area.
We met about 11 years ago thru the Tiger club
blogs.yahoo.co.jp/moto_kar
Great! Here is my FB if you would like to connect. I have a few local car related friends on there and we post quite a bit on car events. facebook.com/john.mullins.90475 I will check out Moto-san's blog too.
When its done I think you and your 911 should be featured on Jay Leno's Garage.
That sure would be something special=) Im a huge fan of Jay Leno's Garage
His depth of knowledge on cars is amazing
I use a hockey puck to help keep seals flat when installing.
Mr Shaniqua that's a great tip!! thanks for sharing=)
Does this mean we'll have to wait a month too? Your videos are the best thing on TV.
Hi Jeff
Thank I try to get a new video sooner if possible
It would be cool to get one of those TV salaries..maybe in the next life=)
Amazing work, it will be a beautiful car when complete, but please get yourself a proper brake pipe union spanner!
Thanks Mike, excellent as always and a highlight at our house when your videos are posted. Will you be rebuilding the engine yourself and posting video or have you sent it out to a shop?
Ditto on the engine question. Also curious about the order of things from now til it’s finished. Is the interior last?
Hi Nick
Thank you I am honored to be part of your household =)
I will be doing the engine build but sending out any and all things needs machine work
Thats a great question Ron
The assembly is strategic in its order as some parts need to be installed before moving to next areas.
I try to explain as I go to keep from potential mistakes of safest order.
Because of the precise fitment Porsche has created in this car order is not forgiving and can lead to redoing things.
Engine will be dead last
Hi Mike, What a fantastic job you are doing here. Everything is so clean and perfect. I am learning a lot from your videos. I am progressing slowly on the restoration of my 67 912. I was wondering how you removed the seal from the hub in the first place? I have had no success with the puller. Were you able to reuse them? Thanks
Thanks 27jpski
If I remember they will need to be pried out with a tool or screw driver...Try hitting them from the inside out with a hammer and driver tool. They will not be able to be reused after removal.
Good luck with your 67!!
Just finished see all series in 3 days :) What a awesome job Mike, congratulations! Love the explanations on how stuff works and why. This really inspired me. Great work. Can't wait to see it finished.
What's the product you used to take the rust out?
Hello Rui
Thanks and welcome to the channel
Thats quite a marathon! Im glad you enjoying the series=)
I use several different methods to deal with rust depending on the condition
and type of metal. Naval Jelly works great for small delicate things that cant be removed. Evaporust works the best for soaking difficult things that do not have paint. Metal rescue works great for things with light rust and painted surface. But both liquids need warm temperature to work. Below 70 degrees will not activate things. 80 degrees and above works best.
Sandblasting with 80 grit glass bead for large items.
Also muriatic acid will remove rust nicely also but must be careful how long you let things soak and type of metal. anything with Iron be careful!
Good Luck!
Thanks, I @@MikesRestorations in this case you soak the hub in Evaporust ? I m in the other side of the pound (Portugal) and I m trying to find "similar" products to get started with cleaning up the rust In some parts. So naming will help me look what are these made off and look similar around here. I know there ar tons of products and brands but looking at some before and after helps choose one.
Yes Evaporust is the product I used but im sure something with similar ingredients are available in Portugal.
Try this link for reference and product information
www.evapo-rust.com
Great stuff!
Great stuff,. Do you think the toe in will change with ride height? I think it will, but as you say you're just trying to get it close. Finishes look beautiful 😀
Thanks Tom
I think Toe will have minimum effect on height, camber will affect it a bit.
Torsion bar adjustment and weight will make the biggest difference
Does Üro make high quality bushings?
Looking to replace the A-arm bushings
Hello Martin
I haven't used much URO products on this restoration but the bushings I have used were of remarkable quality. They do make A arm bushings for these cars and I think would be worth a try as vs Porsche genuine as they are extremely expensive.
Good Luck!
@@MikesRestorations Thanks Mike. The Rennline, Porsche and Elephant are five times more expensive. Make me wonder how it can be so different.
Sometimes I find costumer feedback on Pelican parts.
Good we can share information.
By the way, did you use the old rotors? Or replace? It looks like there is new grey paint on the mating surface, to hub. And did you remove the wheel nut studs prior to soaking hubs in derusting liquid?
Hi Andrew
Yes I did re-use the rotors that came off the car. I had them turned but
right on the edge of spec..If they don't work out I will have to buy new ones.
The manual
mentions anything beyond spec could cause a chatter when braking.. so cross my fingers. The reason I went with them is some of the metal castings were actually better back then as apposed to whats available today.
They gray paint is POR 15 and I did leave the studs in the front and rear hubs when soaking
Is the paint on the edge of the disc factory spec?😃 Nice work, Great detail!
Hello cybersurfer Thanks
Yes the edges are painted with gray primer
The paint used on this restoration for the discs was gray POR15
Off topic here, but I'd like to get the opinion of an experienced body man. I've been drooling over the Becks 550 Spyder. They claim they do a hand layup with mat and cloth to reduce the amount of resin for a more stable composite. It's supposed to be superior to the material shot from a gun. Any truth to this? BTW, I'd prefer aluminum but I don't have 3.5 million bucks in my piggy bank. As always, great show. I learn so much.
Hi Greg
Thanks you
Becks makes a great looking car..as a general rule anytime you laminate VS
solid construction the laminate is always stronger..Similar to boat building
boats take quite a pounding in rough water. Less chance of cracks forming
and much stronger in the long run.
My piggy bank is a bit short of that 3.5 million too=)!
I think you would be very happy with a Becks build
Good Luck!
About the grommet for the handbrake cable; this should be the correct one:

Jackpot! Thanks for sharing this link!!
Thats been a tough one to find
17:20
Looks a lot like my car lol
Nice!=)
@@MikesRestorations when I’m done with my brakes it won’t look as clean as yours, but should be an improvement and they should at least work. My car is a Euro 77’ 911 that is a “driving restoration” that my dad parked in the early 90’s…
Thats a nice car CJ ..The brake caliper pistons can be extremely difficult. Try hooking up a grease gun and Zerk to the caliper and pump it out with a grease. That should do it! Good luck@@cjsawinski
@@MikesRestorations 🙏
Hi Mike - doing my rear brakes at this time and re-watching this great video, thank you! The parking brakes on my car, as on yours did not have the grommet to hold the tube in which the cable go through before going to the expanders. I did find the reference in the PET as 695.424.611.00 and ordered the parts from Porsche Classic. This is what they look like: www.912bbs.org/forum/threads/look-at-what-i-found-wedged-into-the-rear-brake.51805/post-418850 - I had not noticed in the shop manual the slot until I rewatched the vid, so this will be a helpful hint to get these in, as they are definitely stiffer than a regular rubber grommet (and needed a slight sanding of the inner diameter to find losely)
Hello Mathew
Thanks for the tip!
Yes they do have a proper friction ring available..Ive had a couple other viewers reach out on that one since the original video
Will be updating that information when we install the engine..at that time ill be back under the car attaching to trailing arms
Thanks for keeping up informed! Its great to be able to share all these little detail!
AASE has them too.
Have a 72’ VW Fastback.
Want to see how to fit Porsche suspension
To front end.
Differences/possibility.
Buy/build like a MISER,
👉🏽Drive like a PORSCHE😎
