  so glad you're a "no BS" channel....... I've done the vice grip and socket trick before, but for the vice grip and rock,  a had a longer one and jammed it against the subframe 😀. I get tired of channels that have all air tools and clean workshops and I gravitate to channels that are real life...keep it up buddy

  It was really good seeing you do what you do. My father in law has that exact model in black on black and he is frustrated that there isn’t any good Porsche mechanics in Chicago where he lives. I’m going to try and help him get the car back on the road, only problem is I live over 800 miles away. But watching you helps a lot.

  These are great videos. Your video/film making skills are excellent, the content brilliant and you voice spot on! I love how you fix the cars as you go, like changing the gas struts, with a quiet confidence that the car WILL be back on the road so might as well sort this now. Keep 'em coning!

  I just watched for the first time. I liked and subscribed. And thank you for pronouncing Doctor Porsche’s name correctly.

  Excellent road map to testing for a crank-no start Porsche of that era.  I have done every single one of those items to my 84 911.  Same system!  Great job on this video.

  Man I love your content-it’s so real! Many’s the time I’ve found myself upside down under a dashboard saying “ouch”😂. Not just entertaining but educational as well-I’ll remember the “vice grip held by a rock” trick for future use! Thanks again and keep it coming

  Oh, man, have I been here before. I had all the same issues with my 944 that I rescued. Guessing you know to change the belts, too. One of the best services I did, was changing the gearbox oil.  Made the shifting like butter. You got a very nice deal. The interior is pretty decent, and so is the body. That dent should pop right out with some persuasion. Nice find, and no BS.
