And just like that, all those hours of "It won't idle... it still won't idle... WHY THE HECK WON'T IT IDLE?" fade away! What a nice finished product. My own car projects always reminded me of what a friend told me about childbirth: "If you remembered how much it hurts, you'd never do it again!"
That was so satisfying to watch, you did an awesome job. A Porsche anyone would be proud to own. Got to say, what a awesome location, can't imagine anything better than taking that Porsche out on the roads with that beautiful scenery all around you.
While looking for the idle/surging solution, you verified everything. So your effort was not wasted! Thank you for making this series. I watched them when you posted, but I watched them a few times as they are very good.
Simply unbelievable stunning impeccable work. Finished a Fiero some months ago and know the blood sweat and tears it takes. Extremely exhausting but so rewarding. Now finishing my DeLorean. Thank you for your amazing videos.
You guys are so cool. A master mechanic is not someone who knows everything, its someone who works and tackles a problem like Franny does. My hats off.Bravo
I did that work and a little bit more. New crank and piston. Amazing what you can achieve when you can read and understand. Love that.agin love your job.
I can't even tell you how many times I have gone to your videos for help w/ my 87 911! Our collective appreciation of your level of skill and attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you - I wish you both 200 years of good luck!!!
Congratulations on job well Done! You girls inspire and fill up with knowledge, and as a old Tool maker, the level of attention to detail and tech is superb, and with Frannys engineering backround the technical equation is perfect!
Can you even imagine what a Porsche restoration shop would charge to perform this labor of love at such a meticulous level? You must be so proud of each other for this accomplishment! After the interior, I would REALLY like to see you complete the body work as well - a car this good deserves it. Back in the day, I saved a ton on a professional 911SC repaint simply by doing the disassembly /reassembly myself. Would you please consider it?
So glad I found your channel! My next project car is going to either be a 911 or Boxter S. This is very inspiring. Especially knowing I don't really need a lift to drop the engine. Although it would be better. 😀
I am in awe of what you have done. Your knowledge of how to do all this work is jaw dropping. I have 2 Polaris ATV’s and during the first lock down last year I stripped one of them down to the frame. Over a period of months as I cleaned and repaired everything I began to panic as I put everything back together again. You think when you are taking it apart you will remember everything. I was getting worried I would end up with a bunch of left over bolts at the end. I was definitely struggling at the last parts of reassembly and just had 2 bolts left over. What I did was not even a couple of percent of what you have done here. Like I say, I wish I had your knowledge to attempt to do a project like this. I would need a Porsche factory mechanic assembler right by my side holding my hand through this job. Hope you have many years of pleasure driving this car. It will be like brand new when you are done.
Thanks so much! In addition to the videos I took (funny) 911 photos. There were a huge help and I could have had twice as many more! So true that you think you'll remember all of it, but... I think the most difficult part was that all of the hardware was jumbled together when it came back from the plater. It was so difficult to know what bolt when where... So thankful for all the photos! I took many images of the bolt and washer situation in context as I took it apart. That was soooo helpful!
Really enjoyed this fast rebuild and realized I've watched every one of these in depth videos (with hot cappucinos) and loved every moment of both your detailed and passionate love for this classic car. It's been an absolute pleasure to view it all. So wish I was a neighbor next door! Love your work ladies, looking forward to the carpet and interior, best wishes from Nu Zulland, David
I loved watching your series on the 3.2 renovation. The thing I love about Porsche , as you mentioned , is that they are built to be taken apart and put back together without resorting to silly one time fasteners and plastic clips. Your series reminded me of an incident at Le Mans some years ago when a pal with a 964 cabriolet managed to mess up his gear change sequencing such that he could not remove the key , nor could he get into neutral. Outside a restaurant and in the street I set too with only the tool kit and was able to dismantle the gear selector mechanism and put it right. The selector rods had jumped into a non sequential position.All was well, maybe I just got lucky but it earned me a free dinner and the guy who owned the car was a happy bunny . Job done. Credit to Porsche. Their cars are super maintainable. I just wish I could afford one. Well maybe I could, but where would I put my three dogs???? Great series , thank you.
Fantastic! Going back and seeing progress, as well as output, seems to fulfill your definition of 'success'. Congrats and thanks for sharing this - it's inspirational.
Great to see a gal doing the work, obviously knowing what she's doing and doing it better than most. Just had to sneak the guy in to do the GRUNT work, and not much of it the way she does it, practice makes perfect. If I had a race team she'd head my out crew. Super clean, very important in autos and kitchens, as a guy who does both well appreciated. Have to eat well to drive fast and maintain.
this was amazing I want to find a wrecked porsche and fix it and videos like yours inspire me. I have just released my first video the other day of a build I did, this should have more views!
That is a masterpiece of a work! If you could give yourself advice due to what you know now compared with before this restoration - what would that be? Maybe that could be material for a future video? 🙏🏼
All the comments seem to agree, and I do too! WoW :-) Great video, but more than that, Excellent work. I'd been having nightmares dreaming on how it would all go back together correctly... . So many parts, and even with the fast motion, it didn't look easy to put back together... . Great job you guys :-) Enjoy that ride! :-)
I only recently started watching your videos and then got hooked! Love your patience and tenacity and followed right along towards the end with the running issues. I was right there with you. You need to follow this up with the Porsche Mechanics White Album... tutorial on how to keep so clean in the heat of the battle. How do you do it?! Great work! Cheers from Seattle.
@@HeidiandFranny FIFY: "Just a self taught - ENGINEER!..." I'm pretty sure being a trained and professional aeronautical engineer gives you just a few a FEW skills & bona fides in this arena!!! Good on 'ya!
Amazing job, I am sure it's probably in one of the videos, but what did you do with all the fixings? New or plated? And did you plate them yourselves? Well done. Inspirational.
@@HeidiandFranny I haven’t driven it for 8 years. Sent it in to flush the fuel system, new battery, and restart. I stopped by the shop yesterday to go over the car with the shop manager. To my surprise the car was on the rack. Mark said he was going to call me later. An inspection had already been done, quite thoroughly. Biggest problem was leaky exhaust valve. Long, 15, list of “should do’s”. Car’s immaculate, never seen a raindrop or snowflake, 80k miles. No dents, scratches or rust. It could use a good detailing. I’ve never buffed or waxed it. I bought it w15k miles, 21 years ago. Keeping my fingers crossed the estimate is doable.
@@timothyhill4630 We have a "Mark" who works on our '88. From day one! Marks seem to be a solid choice for Porsche mechanics!!! Edit: "Never waxed???" YIKES! Why do that to a perfectly good paint job??? Oxidation occurs 24/7/365, a la the "rust never sleeps" saying! (Wait, oxidation IS rust!!!) Time to arrest the decline ASAP!
Possibly the only mechanic ever removing an engine wearing a pearl necklace. I love it!
Probably ;)
...and not a spot on her pink sweater.
Just amazing! thank you again from a 1889 3.2 owner for over 14 years. Now, I have to find the time and balls to do it!
Your engine is cleaner than my house, your garage as well

Franny, you are a master mechanic, a technician and an engineer, with the hands, eye and patience of a lady. Perfection at it's best.
Heidi and Franny are terrific. I love their channel.
Thanks so much!

You have done such a great job Franni with the 86 Carria my hats off to you and two thumbs up 👍👍.
Thanks so much!

Your welcome
Fanny you are an outstanding mechanic. I enjoyed the video.
Must be the quickest 3.2 engine rebuilt out here :) Great job and a pleasure to watch as always.
So much time, energy, and effort! You both must be so very happy and satisfied with the end result! Well done!
You guys are so cool. A master mechanic is not someone who knows everything, its someone who works and tackles a problem like Franny does. My hats off.Bravo

Thanks so much!
My grandfather has a 1971 stock beetle he bought it in 2010 and gives it a hell and never breaks down and you every 3 month you fix yours beetle
So nice job. Which I had that energy, well. Keep it up.
Most satisfying video of 2021, hands down!
Aww, yea! Thanks so much!
My 3.2L is currently in need of a rebuild. You are really talented at building with your hands!
Great work. So nice to have such a nice neat clean engine to go back in and give you years of smooth running.
Thanks so much Jeff!
I love the plating treatment to the nuts and bolts and straps, Looks so clean. Very nice work.
Congratulations. Excellent editing.Think how easy its going to be with electric cars!
Im going to forward this to my mechanic and tell him we are gonna start negotiating his labor based on this vid!
What an amazing adventure. The project looks very daunting but you obviously had the courage to tackle it. We’ll done 👍👍
Congratulations on job well Done! You girls inspire and fill up with knowledge, and as a old Tool maker, the level of attention to detail and tech is superb, and with Frannys engineering backround the technical equation is perfect!

John, thank you so much. Franny is the heavy lifter on this project, but I appreciate you acknowledging the stuff I do as well. Heidi
enjoyed seeing the progress, thanks for sharing as usual ladies
Very impeccable and impressive work. A treat to watch, thank you.
Looks terrific,warp 7 Mr Sulu😀

Loved this series. Beautiful outcome and thanks to Franny’s detailed explanations I learned a lot.
Really nicely done and a credit to the patience and care put into the job. We'll enjoy watching the coming episodes very much.

Another great video, thank you for sharing 😊
Great anticipating spring video 👍👏🙏!
I have to admire how brave you were to undertake that project!
Wow! If only it was that easy! Congratulations on your work of art.
Totally...
No pink, long sleeve, embroidered logo, polo tops were torn or even gotten a little bit oily in this entire rebuild. Love your work guys
Cheers ❤️🇬🇧
There may have been a little staining here and there ;)
Thumbs up Franny! Engine looks like it just left the factory. Well done 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Well Franny you’ll be pleased to know after that quick test you have got the job start Monday 8 am great work 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
lol!
You really did a great job restoring this engine!
Thanks so much!
It's a lot of work to put together a long block. Nice work and it looks great!
15 minutes of dream !
You are the goddess of mechanics.
I'm sure Mr Porsche is proudly watching you from heaven :-)
Thanks so much!
Engine building can be so therapeutic... lol once its pulled out of the car of course
Great job. It looks fantastic. Well done.
Incredible art and artist video!

bitte schön
Faskinating! Give that lady a medal! :-)
fantastic job ladies !!!
Great video
You guys are impressive. I love it
That is a masterpiece of a work! If you could give yourself advice due to what you know now compared with before this restoration - what would that be? Maybe that could be material for a future video? 🙏🏼
Not all that much... I sure did learn a lot! Maybe just stay close to the service manual and don't guess. :)
All the comments seem to agree, and I do too! WoW :-) Great video, but more than that, Excellent work. I'd been having nightmares dreaming on how it would all go back together correctly... .

Just self taught. Lots of research, reading , and good manuals :)

You rock 👍

Watched the plating video too, thanks
Nice job!
You gals are amazing!!
very satisfying.
An amazing video.
Excellent renovation project! What was the problem with unstable rpm?
15 minutes, quick like a bunny!
lol!
As always a pleasure to watch. Do you have an estimate on the real time for the engine. Those gold oxidized part look great.
Amazing Bravo
Looks like you guys have done this a few times. Lol..awesome
I had my 87 911 trucked to a reliable Porsche repair shop 2 days ago. Now I know what’s involved in his estimate.
Is the engine not running at all?

Can a straight non turbo factory 911 or Cayman motor have a turbo added without changing out any internals or ignition?
Amazing !
Looks great! Did you paint the heat exchanger?
