Nice video! I’d recommend getting something wider and more solid than a race deck grid under your jackstands. You’re putting a lot of weight on those parts over and over again- not a big deal on a solid floor but you don’t want them cracking and leading to the car shifting.

Dude. Wish you made these videos years ago. Still have my 997.1 to this day, but your tutorials speed and details were exactly what i needed a long time ago. All the videos i used to watch were annoying with background music, poor video quality, and too long. Anyways, i subbed, and hopefully I see more 997.1 DIY videos.

Awesome how to video! Good lighting, camera angle, good pace. <br>Thanks for pointing out the secondary jacking point in the rear, I had a hard time locating it from other videos.<br>Keep up the good work!
