How I restored a classic Porsche 911 and turned it from a mediocre to an excellent one

[Music] last winter i spent about 700 hours to turn a mediocre 911 g model into an excellent one [Music] his car is very special i bought it five years ago it was reasonably taken care of but i wanted it to become a reliable daily driver for summer and every cleaning maintenance little road trip or just looking at it from the street cafe should be magic [Music] follow me for a short hour on this journey lean back get yourself a beer enjoy the music on my channel you will find five hours of detailed material about this restoration so if you like what you see sign up and return to see the full story [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the one spot that buried countless 911s the 911 killer if you will is the area around the checking tube when i had eventually cleaned up the left side of my car what i found didn't please me at all some guy had done some welding exercises used plastic material of unknown origin to seal it and covered it all up with an abundance of greased stuff [Music] [Applause] [Music] now making these films i find it very difficult to do all the filming work and at the same time meet restoration challenges that put me outside my comfort zone that said fixing the problems that you can see here i deliberately left the camera off because i was far outside my comfort zone but nevertheless some useful footage was created while i exchanged thoughts with my friends and though these snippets don't meet my usual quality standards i find them useful enough to share them with you i cut open the rear fender and kidney bowl made repair panels and butt welded them in i partly replaced the reinforcement plate of the checking point created new stone guard and rust protection and did a blend paint job good lord [Music] um [Music] [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] um [Music] so so so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] my [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] uh [Music] food [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] me [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] out [Music] oh [Music] so [Music] [Music] out [Music] so [Music] so [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] that was the story of walter my red 87 carrera we had a wonderful summer together and when i think back over last winter's hermit life it always brings me in a large smile mood [Music] you
