We want a Porsche
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2023
We have always wanted a Porsche but life gets in the way. So at 47, I have convinced my son that we can do a 'wheeler dealer' job, and with just £1,000 we'll trade our way up to a proper, full blown amazing Porsche!
No promises, but we will tray and find the future classics to restore and keep them running for a bit longer.
Track our journey here, it began in August 2023.

Fuel system bleeding not need it?
@@bigeasy269 nope, we just popped in a new one and it self bled.
Another great video for alfa,thanks
It was an easy job and great fun doing it. Glad you liked it! #TopFan
Thanks for another great video
This was one of the most worrying videos we did, and we are so happy it turned out the way it did! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you found it helpful.
Hey keep doing more videos like this and thanks from Spain
We have a few more to edit, and hope to get them on the channel very soon! Thanks for watching!
@@WewantaPorsche if you need a good editor i can do it for cheap, high quality
@@moneyeduchris - no thanks, editing and posting is all part of the fun.
That's brilliant, I got the same engine 1.9 140cv, waiting for more videos and thanks
Thanks - just editing and uploading a glow plug video.
Thanks for the video. I changed my filter a few weeks ago so very helpful. The car doesn’t do many miles and I already have the water in fuel filter warning light again so I assume I can just drain it again without the need to replace it this time.
I would drain it and check you do not have a leak into the fuel tank (or using cheap fuel). Water build up should take months and some driving for it to make the sensor go off. Get it checked.
@@WewantaPorsche thanks very much
Thank you for video, greetings from Poland ! :)
Our pleasure!

Not sure what you are saying, but I hope you are enjoying the videos.
I have the 1.8ts, love the car, great design and for me, will make a great classic Car.
This one pulls like a train and I know they are highly customisable. And I agree these are so rare now, that they have to become a future classic.
great car, I have the 3.2 v6 busso which I have done a few videos on, on my channel. That 1.9 engine, is very VERY tuneable. Can really get some decent performance out of it. And they are an absolute bargain now.
I love the look and feel of this car. It fits like a slipper and goes like Billy-o! We still have a few things to do (weekend mechanics and cleaners) but when done I am seriously going to cry when we put it up for sale. If anything I am just pleased we saved one from a potential scrap heap. I bet the V6 is an awesome machine!
@@WewantaPorsche yes glad you have saved it, shame we may see more heading to the scrap yard due to Ulez. The 3.2 v6 is an absolute beast.
@@BradysMotors always a chance that living out in the sticks, it should not stop us enjoying this one. But I do worry about future classics.
Looking forward to how you get on 👍
Thanks, things are coming together nicely.
