Having worked at a European body shop for a few years, where I mostly worked on Porsche, BMW and Mercedes vehicles that were wrecked in Scottsdale, AZ, I can tell you the older Porsches tend to transfer energy less than the newer ones. Also, fit and finish wasn't nearly as fine as the 2000 and up models. It was still better than say, GM or Ford, but not the greatest. I used to love working on the air cooled Porsches, and the 993 was a favorite of mine. I would go with that one. It was clearly well cared for.
18:47 yeah...just bought an old RX7 unseen...from the pictures and if would have been a modern car, it looked it needs a bumper and a fender...but both frame rails were badly bend :((
I would love to see you restore that 993! As a 993 owner, I'd look at the usual rust spots (window seals) and the door could be a bad check strap (common 993 issue). A manual conversion isn't super cheap but well within your abilities. New box, flywheel, $400 for a new tacho (manual), and the interior trim is the same (replace the plastic gate with a boot!). The front frame rail on the driver's side would be my only major concern w.r.t. that headlight damage. P.S. Happy to send you a bunch of ref material for 993 repair/issues to check through!
As everyone is already saying, it looks like the Miami blue goonzquad Porsche…. You’re changing just about the same amount of panels, roof and rear quarters plus suspension, if anyone can do it, you can! Love to see the project when it’s done, don’t keep us waiting to get on it fast! It should be a fun project, but you already know that!😎
Honestly you've got to get it, I mean it's a classic with a Sunroof mxa stop playing and don't get me started with the rear OLD SCHOOL DUCKTAIL! Just get it.
No, I can assure you you want thr mechanical hood struts from rennline. They never were out and they hold up the hood better. Check them out, I've put them on my 79' 930 front and back and will be putting them on my 996TT when the hydraulic ones wear out.
Buy the 964 Targa and restromod it. Just like a Singer. Failing that the 993, however finding a manual for it will not be easy - plus 50-70k is crazy money.
01-02-23 My DREAM PORSCHE collection No... I have never wanted a garage full of Porsches. You asked that question in a previous video and I gave a very long but to the point answer why I would not do this. Don’t get me wrong I love most Porsches except SUV, eclectic, and Panorama (or whatever that name is) Summarize: - I have a brand new 3 car garage and all ready it is full of 3 cars - No more space to expand - No space for stacker - I am retired and have been for a long time and I have almost free time. Where would I get the time to drive 5 other cars. How would you have time to drive and deeply enjoy all of them. I have one and that satisfies everything. - My neighbor up the street has 12 cars: 2 Ferries, 10 Porsches (1- is a Singer he waited for 2 years to get built) 5 car garage and a warehouse for the others somewhere in town. - Gathering/collecting is not a necessity. - The man with the most toys wins does win perhaps this TINY aspect of his life; What a silly concept to run or base one’s life on. I have an ’86 911 RestoMod-Outlaw and it is: a hill climb race car, show car (Porsche Corporate trophy best DESIGN, daily driver and long distance car; “one shoe fits all” I love your excitement for the Porsche Brand there at the auto wrecker. I wonder how many people watching right now are in the market for a wrecked P-car and have the money to buy one. I scanned the comments below but I didn’t see any such people but to be honest after 20 comments I drifted off the side o the road. But I think ALL who watch love what you are doing and will get vicarious thrills from what you do to fix one (or many) of these cars. Right now you are in the “fore play” part, looking, seeing, touching, and getting excited. Soon the “right one” will be back are in your shop for and you will be going from 1, 2nd, 3rd base. I like how you help any potential buyer of a wrecked Porsche by making a commment and then flash back to your shop to the car you had to fix. Very helpful I would think for others. Miami Blue is a popular color you say ... yes like a million years ago and that is about how many m. blues are out there now, they are everywhere. Nothing worse that going to a cars and coffee and then there are 10 m. blue cars sittting there (of course that is an exaggeration, exaggeration to make a point) Cayman GT4 PASS. TOO MUCH TROUBLE. Pick your fights, sometimes an ass whippin'’ isn’t worth it even if you say later that you are not afraid of anyone but yet your balls are big as basektballs, you walk with a limb (on both legs) and the new front teeth you bought cost $8,000. TAYCAN 4S expensive you say, being expensive doesn’t = GREAT. Purple and green... VOMIT colors and the car is electric ;-(. This is Dad’s car and I am not a DAD. I will watch this part but I will not be smiling as you explain how great it can be. MACAN.. these are just not cars I want to spend time looking or hearing about even though you are doing an excellent job explaining. I am moving down the line of cars. STOP, 993 a real P-car auto, last of the air cooled, at least it is not water cooled. In Spanish water cooled mean donkey poop. Then there is the auto trans... but you said you might swap out shifting Wrecked front bumper up grade to something “racy”and match it on the back of the car. 964 1992 but it is a Targa, these roofs tend to leak. Go to a professional and they can resolve that. You have neve done one at your shop so BUY IT! You ask which one would I (we as the audience) woiuld buy. I wouldn’t buy any but for you but for your business and show content BUY the 962, put some turbo flares front and back, maybe RUF bumpers and you could sell it for a big sack of cash. Coupes get the most money and work you way down type of P-car and there is Targa. “A garage without a Porsch is just a dark hole” -Walter Rhrol - Porsche Development
The blue Porsche 20,000$ top the green one looks like the hulk but 30,000$ the suv 18,000$ the old white one 13,000$ that the most I’ll pay for each one
Collection sorted in a day 😂 That 993 looks like an easy fix. Problem might be the price ist will be go selling for. It’s a tip…that may reduce price a bit. The 964 are around the same price, or slightly more expensive here in Europe/Germany but 250 KMiles…... I would definitely go for the 993, many of those 993/964 have been imported back to Europe… a 993 here at German auction cost at least 30K$ but then completely smashed….
The white Porsche with the fender damage and hood that can all be easily fixed those panels are very savable I was in the body shop business for 35 years I repaired some horrific wrecks
Personally I would be careful and watch the price because used car prices are dropping like a rock so it depends on what you can get them for and of course part cost the 996 is a good option with the right price

Well that sounds right up my alley....
Never stop buying Porsches 🙏 this is top tier content!
I say yes absolutely to the 993

Easily becoming one of my favorite channels and local to the area
Looks like the goonzquad car
Hopefully, he does not go with the aftermarket bumpers though :))
Their car was worse as far as I remember
Look like thé one goonzquad got
Goonzquad is froud
I thought the same
That Taycan is straight Joker spec, have to watch out for Batman cruising that thing around. It's just weird enough for me to want it.
Came here to say the same thing! Joker spec for sure
My man cannot be stopped from these porsches!
Here we go again lol, great video as always. I would call the lee c parts forklift frame machine a special tool
Put a low bid on all of them and Make That Money!
993 for sure. Good investment. The air cooled cars are very desirable. Good luck. Happy Motoring!
Buy the 993!
You should check out at the maryland iaai lot there is a 1991 911 turbo with a ruf engine.
993 all they way! Rebuilt + Manual swap 😋
I genuinely love your optimism and enthusiasm.
How do you get oem parts when Porsche only sells some to certified garages ?
993 all the way!

Have you ever driven a 993 with auto? It's not that bad! Try one
Ive been told tiptronics are slug buckets
@John Swanson 993 Carrera is a very nice weekend cruiser, its not a car that you drive the living hell out every time you drive it
@@peggypeggan got it. More of a cruising car.
yes, you have projects woo 😳😍😍♥️ .. it's a lot of work to fix and straighten that hard plate .. I also really like porches
That purple interior is incredible
993 all the way
GT4!! 🤙
"Doesn't perform as well as a plaid"??? Yeah right. On what planet? Maybe in a straight line, but that's the only way, and even that is very close.
That 993 is beautiful end of story
Honestly you've got to get it, I mean it's a classic with a Sunroof mxa stop playing and don't get me started with the rear OLD SCHOOL DUCKTAIL! Just get it.
Green one forsure !!!
993 manual swapped 👍
Macan. I'd love to use your video as a how-to for my son and me to rebuild one for my wife
No, I can assure you you want thr mechanical hood struts from rennline.
They never were out and they hold up the hood better. Check them out, I've put them on my 79' 930 front and back and will be putting them on my 996TT when the hydraulic ones wear out.
It’s funny you say that, because I just put a set on my 997, you’ll see it in the next video!
Damn it im wirking and cant watch yet.... you always give me a reason to take a restroom break😂😂😂
993 baby!
Great Vlog DUDE.......GodBless You... AND Merry Christmas ............... Peace
Oh look 👀
Another Miami Blue Porsche rebuild... 🤣🤣🤣
GT4. You know what your working with! Plus it's a good spec
Honestly the blue one looks like goozsquads most recent build. They put quarters and Roof , fenders.. almost finished now.
Buy the 964 Targa and restromod it. Just like a Singer. Failing that the 993, however finding a manual for it will not be easy - plus 50-70k is crazy money.
The Macan any day!!
I spent years getting my porsche garage together and you're going to do it in one day?
You're one lucky guy, good content
Definitely the 993!

I will take that white 993.
993 for sure.
Re: Taycan. The Taycan, the Joker color combination?
Gt4 is a dream🔥👌
Buy em all all fixable and you know how to do it !! If you think one out of the purchase let that be taycan 4s

@@scraplifegarage let’s go!! Lol
Taking the Macan that shit sound good wit the nice interior
You need that 993 soooo bad
I prever that white 993 wow !! but the engine need a check out for the valves , the black 964 have more work
Man.... get that white 993 and do a manual transmission swap. I love your channel !!!!!

I like how they park the Teslas with the burnt cars.
The 993 all day and every day 👊🏽
993 ❤
The blue Porsche 20,000$ top the green one looks like the hulk but 30,000$ the suv 18,000$ the old white one 13,000$ that the most I’ll pay for each one
Cayman GT4 - If you don't buy it, give it a couple of months and it will be in an Aurthur Tussik video and back to being as good as new.
Def taking the white 993
That pump might be aftermarket front axle lift.
Love
I love that blue color
I love those gts macan

I always call them "Porch's" because after a month you just sit on the porch and cry after the car breaks.
Pisses both sides off.
Gt4 all the way!
993!
Hermoso video desde Uruguay exelente trabajo felicitaciones
i love that tycan
Macan GTS for me, very nice contant👍
Gt followed by the tycan 👌
Dude please, cmon, do it, the 993, the Macau and ya, the ePorsche, do it….the trifecta series. Call it your Live, Love, Laugh collection, lol.
The 993. Cause the Targa’s Floor is bend the top is not in right
I love how to a "normal" person this car would be trash but to you, all you see is money
Blue 993 interiors are creme of the crop for me... If only it was a manual, but then it probably wouldn't be at auction truthfully.
How about a turbo S motor in a 993??? 😮😊
Why keep the cayman exhaust stock?
That GT4 is blasted. If you win it - put it next to the Demon. GT4 will look like new.
Not bad for Porsches
993 Engine is knocking
Gt4 engine 👍
Would have to be the GT4
Definately the 993, just slap some paddle shifters on it.
Check for bore score on the 993.
White 993 manual is no brainer!
Przepiękny zlom
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. GREAT color but WRONG brand. Do some C 6 's and off the Porsche 💩 d's !
Dude the 993 is the one to go, fix it, than fix It again doing a manual swap
get the 993
All 993s need to be saved. Even the autos...a993 is my daily😊
Personally I would be careful and watch the price because used car prices are dropping like a rock so it depends on what you can get them for and of course part cost the 996 is a good option with the right price
993 and GTS
PLEASE MAKE AN PERSONAL CAR COLLECTION VIDEO
Macan GTS but that EV very very tempting don’t like the interior color though 😞
993 Listen Not healthy
Hello can you send my pls some Web site where can Im Bay a cars like that from USA??
993 sounds like it needs the valve guides overhauled (common rapid wear problem with those cars). That is expensive engine work.
I'd go with the Macan gts
the white one is the one to buy
