I Bought A CHEAP 997 Porsche 911 Turbo & It's Getting EXPENSIVE!

- My Manual 997 Porsche 911 Turbo build is UNDERWAY & we don't make it far before learning that someone lied... missing parts, extra damage, all par for the course when it comes to this 911 Turbo!
We don't have any choice but to pony up for a TON of new parts to get this Porsche back in action...
Have thoughts on what's going on with my Porsche 911 Turbo? Have a Porsche horror story of your own? Tell us in the comments!
Thanks to all the companies who supplied us with the parts featured in this video!

"It's only money!" That beast is going to shred! Love the full rebuild/mod treatment.
“It’s only debt” would probably be more accurate
Love love love this series Strad. With your work environment and culture, you have the ability to go crazy, but you keep it the way you do which is relatable to all of us. Thanks for the content. I know myself and many other do.
Just a normal guy who happens to own a shop!
Thanks for watching as always
Watching the progress of this project with a lot of perverse horror, but so fun. You are a sick man!
Best video yet, really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see the engine going in and what else you have planned.
just a suggestion from other channels i follow, when doing a build "series" such as this one, label them with part 1, 2, 3...so on as you continue the build. makes it easier to follow for new people finding your channel. I suggested your channel to Life of Palos so hopefully that will bring you some more exposure if he features it in one of his evening news updates. so far, the videography, comedy, and general overall therapeutic nature of what you guys do is quite entertaining. Keep it up!!
This video series has taught me two things
1) a Porsche 911 is wayyyy out of budget and 2) I love the filming style of these videos not a dull moment.
Easily favorite car YT channel!
I’m happy to hear that! I’m having a ton of fun filming these and it truly makes me happy that you guys are digging it.
Great video! Moving right along... Great progress! Those intercoolers are beasts! Great move there! Your saving yourself a ton of money with you're skills and know-how! 👍 Looking forward to the next vid! 🇺🇲
Thanks for watching!
Awesome videos… very informative on the Porsche 911
I’ve been waiting for an update for so long! Thanks for the upload 👍🏾
Make sure you watch the video from aim!
Great vids guys, this make me feel so much better for spending more to get a clean 997.1 C2S this past month
If the shroud on the intercooler was loose they likely had an aftermarket intercooler in there that required some trimming for installation. And when they reinstalled the stock ones they were unable to get stock shrouds for both sides.
You already went do88 big pack intercoolers which are a great option for the price. I nearly went with them myself. I ended going with Markski after a discussion about what cores he uses. Personally I think Markski 4.5" intercoolers are the best option out there.
Larger ypipe is beneficial for big power builds so good decision as well. Stock plenum and throttle body are good for 1000hp though.
glad ur putting a porsche engine back in her. you won't regret it. by the time you break in the engine with a few hundred miles you'll learn why they are awesome cars
Can’t wait!
@LeeC - just drove past your original "garage" where it all started! You've definitely come a long way! 👍
I need to make it up there and do a video on the origins haha
Nice progress, really enjoying the series.
great choice of intercooler, I used d088 on mine along with the y-pipe could not be happier with the quality.
I don’t have a single bad thing to say about them that’s for sure
I would do anything just to come work for you man, came across this channel today to realize this is everything i've ever wanted to do yet I never had the resources available. I am a very quick learner, and my drive runs true compared to others. I hope this doesn't go unnoticed. I'm 19 from Indiana but I can make the commute 100.9%
1$ an hour even! I'm well worth atleast $20 an hour. Just to learn from you would be insane
Also the Audi R8 buggy is incredible
$1 an hour!?
@@scraplifegarage I’m good on money
This series is fantastic, glad I found this channel
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for watching
Great series!
Think your videos would be better if you added chapters within each video, and perhaps numbering the titles (e.g. 997 911T Episode 4) and the having the other videos in a playlist.
Love the content! Looking forward for the next one!
You have Porschealitis , there is no vaccine ! 😂 I bought a Cayenne today, spent 500 pound on parts in the McDonalds 200 yards from the dealer 🤪
I grew up in Baltimore. I moved to Nebraska about 10 years ago. I knew from the moment you started talking that you were in Maryland. Made me kinda homesick.
I’ll thrown in a couple “warsh” next time just for you!
Lovin' this series!
This channel is amazing love these videos
Well you did buy it in South Carolina, so being from SC myself, people list things that were supposedly done to cars all the time, and pass them off to someone else with no law against it
I have a question did you found out the problem of mixing of oil and antifreeze. Why you did change first the oil cooler and start with that ? Thank you hermann 4:28
Did you you code out the active aero using a foxwell, durametric pro, or pwis? Or did you use an adapter that tricks the car into thinking it's operating properly?
I’ve noticed the extra P cars around. I just figured the sickness was getting to you. And the Vette’s will be phased out eventually!!! LOL.
The sickness has taken full hold.
Look forward to the next steps of this build.
My man reppin' those hoochie daddy shorts! Love this series and can't wait to see the paint color you chose.
The longer the video the shorter the shorts. If you see me post an hour long video I highly suggest not watching.
I love you content, keep it going 👍🏾👍🏾
Digging the "Throttle House" style of intro!
Looking good. Can't wait to see it on the road. Happy Motoring!
You and me both!
@@scraplifegarage I own a 2001 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet and it's the best purchase I ever made. Enjoy.
Where was the engine lid sourced? great video
Love the Porsche videos
While yas had the intercooler(s) out it would have been a greeaaaytt time to clean up the inter structure and the stock housing..
Been laid up with a knee injury for a few I believe I have watched every video. Good stuff.
Hope the videos help pass the time a bit!
GREAT video!
Your uploads make my day
It makes my day to hear that! Seriously!
Do you have a link for the rear wing you added?
On a different subject, why don't you remove quarter panels? I also see you get rid of good hoods and trunk lids. Why?
Thanks,
Bob Lilley

Stock deck lid is for sure better than that fiber glass one. With that bein said, right now, I couldnt afford the $1,000 ya paid for the lid let alone the dream of a hot rod aka "Your" 911 Turbro S! It's for sure my "somewhat affordable dream car". I'm only commenting for the tubes algorithm. Deck lid sucks but, the Turbro S is PIMP! Best of luck with it...
Why did you swap the OEM trunk for fiberglass?
You are flying 👍🔥👍
Porsche. name says it all. end of conversation. bring this beauty back to its former glory
She’ll be better than ever!
Please let us know how this build is going!! Promise not to leave us hangin!! :) Again, great job guys!
Paint it that brown you like on the front bumper with some fluorescent green or orange cage pieces
I do like the brown, but man, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. That sounds like a few god awful color combos you just layed out 😅
AutotopNL how funny - Great guy driving very fast on the German Autobahns. My nephew!
Love the 997 video!
Great video
Love the build 🙌🏻I have a 997.2 C4S, cabriolet 09 👁👁👁👁
Beautiful!
O ring (rubber) in tension near heat & humidity is not optimized solution :-(
Can’t wait for the engine to go in.
You and me both!
Should have bought the Corvette to the left next to it.
Damn bro, you squatin' short blocks?
Longblocks my man
Those intercoolers look awesome
I agree, it’s gonna be a sad day when I have to cover them up
What brand and model drill do u use to remove lug nuts
Pretty much Al of our power tools are Milwaukee m18 fuel. That was their 1/2” impact.
This thing is going to be SO sweet when it's done.
Well now that red car didn't look too familiar there!
Let’s hope so right!
would love to see you put a gt3rs engine in the fried egg headlight porsche
Oh ok now the vr head set makes sense.
Told ya it would!
13:02 that’s what she said!
it’s gonna be nice 👍🏻
Very cool
You don’t need a face Shield as long as you got them safety squints!
Safety squints, breathe through nose. Money.
Dude! You're like the American Edd China!
and I don't even own a Porsche any more...
Nice rear end buddy
🍑
Mark it with tape, ehh just eye ball it. Lol
Nailed it though 😉
I wanted to buy the coolant tank, but you cut it in half
Would you recommend getting into this business? On a much smaller scale to start off of course and more as a side hustle? I am very interested and a reply would be much appreciated! Thanks.
I’m going to be honest with you.
No 😅
The market is so out of wack that if I wasn’t already in the salvage business I’d be doing something else.
@@scraplifegarage Completely understandable! I was going to get into flipping cars but it's a little hard to stay on top of it sometimes with all the other things I have happening
Nice 👍
Those o-rings are going to get hot and dry up then break over time. I would have used zip ties.
They aren’t needed once installed
Not a fan of Porsche, more corvette, but it's good to watch you work lol, great video content, keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching anyway! I’m a corvette guy also
I never said this was going to be cheap lol. Get your wallet ready !!! I still need to do my elbows and cam pins.
I could’ve swore someone said this was gonna be cheap..
Love the videos but your an animal. That car deserves respect when working on it.
Oh it’s getting exactly what it deserves 😈
I’m not a Porsche guy at all, but that’s a nice car.
Is it though!?
@@scraplifegarage lol, I do hope so for you alls sake. I’m sure it will be great when it’s done. Good luck 👍🏼 ✌🏼🇺🇸
No acting, not needed, doesn’t work for the status of the shows.
Your shows are great the way they are without acting.
I am not being mean, I am telling you the truth.
A complete-built engine sends chills down my spine.
A 3.4L to 4.0L upgrade is like having a wooden beam in your pants.
Shouting out before we know.
Whatever the color for the exterior of the car is make sure that the roll cage is harmonious with the exterior. Why. Because the roll cage with the wrong color will take away all the details inside the car. Don’t paint the roll cage a color that makes the interior look like a circus clown owns the car.
- Who doesn’t love polished aluminum and specular turbo connections pieces and big ass coolers.
- Heating up the plastic to make it conform the metal; I’ll file that away in my brain storage.
Summation
I’ll never buy a water cooled Porsche car but I sure have enjoyed seeing how all of the 997 parts (and there was a shit load of them) come off and go on...and there are many more video on this 997. So I am here and enjoying. Keep continuing with what you do.
PARTING THOUGHT
You sure have a lot of birds in this neighborhood. Lots of chirping. No complaint, just an observation.
.
$200k and one month later its almost done lol JK, car is coming along nicely!
Hate to hear you are going to cut that beauty up.....
At least it’s not a 964, you would be out of money😂
I just can't stand the US rear bumpers with those massive bumps sticking out, Are you guys not allowed to change them for Euro-spec parts?
Keep watching the series 😉
It’s worth fixing.
Example of money with smart people but without talent and style
Next update please guys
This weekend!
Wait?! You’re saying there’s no such thing as a cheap Porsche?!
Someone really should’ve warned me!
There's no such thing as a cheap German sports car, even the normal road cars cost more than their Japanese counterparts.
I have 145k miles on my 997.1 turbo. Paid $42k for it OTD with a clean title in nearly mint condition with 102k miles on it at that time. I have only spent $10k on mods which includes upgraded turbos, intercoolers, exhaust, turbo intake tubes, tuning, wheels, semi solid motor mounts and repairs.
@@sutherlacd27 Still not what I would call cheap.
Built properly. The porche 911 has a higher top speed than a viper.
Should I put kratos on notice??
@@scraplifegarage lol, I don't recommend building it. Way over budget.
Yessir
PUT A 350 TPI IN IT
👁👃🏻👁
Uhh! Don’t Buy URO parts!!! URO stand for “u replace often”
Still learning these European car brands 😅
Dollars to donuts some unappreciated third tier forgotten Porsche engineer is watching this, and when you said "credit where it is due on this third brake light" about his contribution to that automobile he ran upstairs from his basement apartment in his parents house and in loud and aggressive German told his dad to eat a bratwurst because he made it. As far as what I didn't like, if your gonna be squatted down on the street like a poor working on a VW, at least show a little more thigh....
How much thigh is too much thigh? Standard length speedo?
Wait, when I wasn't looking did they standardize speedo length? Those bastards.
A CHEAP 997 Porsche 911 Turbo is allways junk, thats the reason why it is cheap. A well maintained 911 Turbo from a dentists wife is better, but it is not cheap.
That would be way less fun than buying junk!
@@scraplifegarage You you, but many other people did not get it and think they get a pretty car for cheap money.
Sexy car !!!
