- My poor car has had a rough life! This week I show you how to restore my abused Porsche floor pan with simple tools. I'm not even sure how its possible that my floor is dented from the inside out. Anyway, I do some creative hammering on the hard to reach areas like the tunnel.

This video series filmed in my home workshop highlights the technical details of my classic car restoration (An aircooled Porsche 911). I’m starting with a stripped out shell from 1974 and backdating it to the earlier longhood look. (Backdated Porsche means to make it look older than it is). It’s not easy to build a car in a small garage but I hope to inspire other gearhead minded people like me to build something cool with DIY style.
In the first few episodes I will focus on the autobody metalwork to transform this junker into something fun to drive. Extensive metal fabrication is needed to give the body the wide and low stance that I'm looking for. Metal fab can be time consuming but its the detail that set each car project build apart from the rest. My classic Porsche strives to be unique with custom hotrod touches throughout. There will be some rust repair in the front trunk area including the infamous suspension pan...home fab style.
I plan to update weekly videos detailing the customization of my classic sports car. This is a low budget build so I plan to make many of the custom parts myself wherever possible. I hope you enjoy my car vlog that will hopefully become an autocross racer or track car someday.
Engine plans are 3.0L+ with individual throttle bodies ITB
Custom brakes and suspensions mods are also planned.
Please stay tuned for all updates on this project series.

My Classic Car Restoration Future Plans
I plan to modify the suspension and brakes with improved aftermarket parts from Elephant Racing and Tarett Engineering as money and time allows. Larger brakes from a late model Boxster will be used since this car didn’t come with any brakes and they seem to be the best bang for the buck. The engine will be from a later Porsche 911 to with at least 3.0 liters and I hope to use a custom individual throttle bodies with a modern injection system and software.
In other words, this build will be a mashup of all Porsche’s best years. The classic look of the early lightweight body with a more modern air-cooled drivetrain. Call it a restomod or hotrod if you like, but I’m going to make it my own with custom touches along the way. Please join me in this detailed restoration journey.

Dude you make that look easy!
Ha ha, thx. It's kind of caveman kind of finesse.
Lots of progress Tom. I like how the floor is turning out and I really like the creativity when it comes to doing this by yourself.
I have kids that will help me out when I need them to, but that old bag of lead worked even better! Too bad I didn't try the football. I was going to deflate it and stuff it the tunnel and then pump it up to force the dent out in the tunnel
Looking good Tom!
Thanks Mike, next week the interior should be all the same color hopefully, black
Hammer-time... Very nicely done,
Thanks for watching!
Good use of counter-weights there, Tom. Especially when getting up off the floor :). What's the semi-circular depressions in the floors? I notice a few of them seem to be punched through a bit. Just curious.
Thanks Chris! I'm not really sure what those holes in the floor are. I've heard two things, 1) some of these cars are dipped for galvanized coating so the holes might be drains. 2). The holes are used for assembly jigs during the assembly process. My car wasn't galvanized but a few years later they were.
Thank you for the detailed info.
Of course, thanks for watching.
WOW what an improvement all that effort made 👍 I’d bet a few of those depressions could be caused from crawling about on your knees maybe but who cares she’s all sorted now 😉
Ha ha, I do have bony knees. Time to paint it and move on hopefully erasing years of abuse.
Now the FLOOR !!!
..... Anyway...I Hope you use Bedliner and remove the old school undercoating. It turn soft when hot sucking up dirt rocks and then hardens when cool and repeats the cycle till it falls out in chunks / or just gets heavy / and just turns a brownish hue.
Bedliner is 2K ...I love uni- pol Raptor ( its German ).
It drys like those red plastic. Gas cans...( But Black)
It dries tough as hard plastic repells moisture , dirt and debri. Is rock and chip resistant , sound deadening .
Ive been using it as under coat since it came in the market years ago...
It stays black its uv protectant.
And you can spray it thin or thick in higher stone reflexion areas.
It comes with a shutz gun to apply.
PERFECT...
Nice, thanks for the recommendation. I was going to use gravitex from UPOL. I'm not up to speed on the differences???
@@GarageTimeAutoResto gravitex is 1k ( one component undercoat by unipol)
Raptor is 2k Bedliner by uni-pol.. I have used on many restorations from Big Healeys to Porsche to Z cars.
As you know 2k beat 1k everyday.
@@MindDezign any tips on removing the floor insulations inside the Porsche 911?
Dry ice, putty knife and a hammer is the safest and cleanest way that I know of.
Once it gets really cold it will crack and break up
Re check all your door gaps front and rear hoods... You're moving a lot of metal around and things get tweaked. Doors would be my main concern. An hour of checking may alleviate bending door hinges for hours. I Forgot... are you going with a dynamat on inside or spray sound deading
The door and hood gaps are still ok so far. I haven't delt with the drivers side yet, but it shouldn't move much either.
I will probably put a few small patches of Dynamat on the floor, but nothing crazy.
@@GarageTimeAutoResto I really like what you did by welding in extra clearance for the trailing arms. Looks very very cool I would go for an Outlaw look now. No Dynamat but you can spray on sound deadener that's only 3 mill thick. That way you show the work that you did on the rear valence panel. Really like in this Build keep up the good work
@@Dogleg1957 Thanks, the bottom will get sprayed with sound deadener, so it may be enough who knows? I agree with you that it shouldn't be covered up. My plan is to leave it painted and then experiment with sound deadening after the car runs. Some noise is okay!
Nice job! Have you decided on a color yet?
Yes, and I've already got a pint sample to spray and make sure it looks right. Bahama yellow😃
