coming from a 911 owner for 35 years, you did a great job, you should feel proud as you should
This is the car that put your channel on the map! It's been a long road but man has this been a great one. The almost finished product is just amazing! I hope you're happy of your accomplishments! Congratulations on such a beautiful piece of history! I actually subbed to this channel when I saw the first episode of this series!
Couldn’t agree more with your comments. This project brought me to the channel as well. The renaissance of this car is a perfect analogy for the growth of this channel. Michael and his Dad are so hardworking, creative and genuine. Wish you all the best and I look forward to many more amazing builds on my favorite TH-cam channel!
Same here! Absolutely amazing!
This build brought me here also and the reason I subscribed. That is a beautiful piece of history.
Yep me too
Same here ! It’s been so great to watch the journey!
This! THIS!!! This is the series that got me to subscribe to your incredible channel. The actual moment that got me to subscribe, was when you and your dad built a device to put the Porsche safely on its side. Many people might laugh at me for that, but it was the most amazing thing I ever saw. I wish you and your dad much joy and success.
I'm not laughing buddy, I was right there with you. That plywood rotisserie jig got me to subscribe.
Same here.
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
Same here....
Yeah that was a great idea 😊
Thats the same thing that got me to sub love the fact that the channel is just getting started during covid Can’t believe it’s been three years already.
I'm absolutely blown away. I had my doubts, but you guys did a fantastic job! The best part is that you did it with your dad....
Priceless
Lots of respect to you and your dad! You saved this car! You turned a $500 juncker into a 100.000 vintage collectable.
I absolutely agree with you on this one! Amazing!
At auction it could go for more than that. The fact that the restoration has been documeted on this YT channel adds a lot of value.
Also the story behind it.
This is NOT a $100k car. It’s $50k - $55k tops.
1. It’s a Targa, the least desirable body style.
2. It’s a G body car, not an F body.
3. The engine is a 2.7 with mag case. There is at least $20k of machining that has to be done eventually to add timeserts to the case so the head studs don’t pull out.
4. It’s a 915 gearbox rather than the G50 gearbox.
5. Not real Fuchs.
@ladamurni Thank you so much!!
proud of you and dad for taking on such a project!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL😍
I've never felt so happy and proud to see a car project on TH-cam finished. I'm here since day one of the Targa saga. This car became stunningly beautiful and tastefully done. Kudos to you and your dad. I wish you continuous success on all future projects and also family life. Cheers from Brazil!
Thanks for saving this classic! Growing up in Germany the 911 has been my favorite car since the 1970’s. Maybe someday I’ll be able to afford one.
You got this
Thanks for saving this classic vintage, it turns out so sweet. I never thought that it would be like this,this is what caught my eyes so I did subscribe immediately to your channel, congratulations on a job well done100% 🔥
Simply put... this is my favourite restoration on youtube. it looks phenomenal. The choices you made have been spot on, this 911 Targa is worthy of becoming a wall poster. Congrats to you & your dad, what a great father/son bonding project.
Good idea - make a wall poster or calendar with this car.
I've watched the whole series now, and I can say you did an amazing job. It's beautiful.
What a ride this has been! I have followed this build since the very first episode and it has been an absolute joy to watch both the build and your channel grow and take shape. She is so close now and really looking great. Brilliant, just brilliant!
The Targa looks amazing! Great job Michael and Chris! So happy you will now be able to drive it and it can start giving back to you. Nothing is better than cruising a Porsche. Thank you for the great entertainment over the past 3 years!
Congratulations on your restoration, Michael! The car is beautiful and the more you drive it and sort out the remaining issues, the better the car will be. Impressive dedication in staying with this and seeing it through.
the Porsche has turned out quite nice. Good to see your pet build coming together and nearing the finish line. Hope to see more soon.
Been waiting so long for an update on this and it hasn't disappointed. It looks awesome! Can't wait till you get it fully dialed in and show us what it can really do. 👍
Hi Michael, I have absolutely loved watching you and your dad bringing this dream car back to life with such care. You have done an incredible job - it DOES NOT look like a budget build! Thanks for sharing all your hard work. Hope you enjoy driving the heck out of that Porker 👍
Stunning job bringing a classic back with care skill and respect - you guys have reserved a little spot in history with this restoration
I've now watched all 35 episodes and must say you've "turned a sows ear into a silk purse" so to speak. With help from your Dad and some great people, you accomplished an incredible feat. Kudos to you and all involved. That is a fantastic looking ride. Have fun and enjoy. (Hope you don't sell it)
Wow, you have put a huge amount of time effort and money into this car. It looks FANTASTIC !!!!!
Absolutely a awesome job of restoring your 911! Love that color and your attention to detail!
The Porsche is stunning and a credit to you. I’ve watched every episode and loved it
This channel and the 911 targa restoration is the real deal, brought from the scrapyard to showroom condition, absolutely amazing
Please get it completed so you can have one last episode on it. Can’t wait and this was why I started watching the channel.👍
You deserve the greatest respect for this project! Congratulations from Athens, Greece!
I can't believe it has been three years since I watched you drag that basket case home from the scrap yard. Absolutely amazing! Congrats on the 200K...now let's go out there and get 300!
What an accomplishment. Bringing that Porsche back to life was amazing.
THAT is one Sweet Porsche! The color is spectacular and the whole car is just a beautiful machine!!! You and your Dad did an awesome job bringing that baby back from the dead!
Love what you have achieved with the Targa.Congratulations for saving it.👍
A magnificent restoration! Congratulations, it's a credit to you both.
I'm sure Ferdinand would approve of the restoration of this classic. You took your time, did your research, sourced the best parts possible while trying to stay in your budget, and look at the results!👍
100%
im not gonna lie when you had the car on that wooden rotisserie i was a little scared on the outcome but I've gotta say you have done an excellent job and made a beautiful car.
I remember when you were thinking about color choices vs the original. This car is simply stunning, and your choices have really suited the car. Congrats on a true labor of love!
As others have said this is the series that got me hooked and subscribed to your channel. That car went from trash to class and I’ve enjoyed every moment of this build, the car looks amazing, totally transformed. You and dad need to kick back and appreciate all the work you’ve done to it because it’s beautiful
I really did enjoy this series. I did a resto of a scrapyard Vanagon some years back, with a limited knowlegde and money, but twee tears later it was done! I really recognize every step you made and the feeling of it. Man when you did start that engine, i had a flashback! great moment. Enjoy it!
Don't sell yourself short with the "budget" restoration moniker. The vast majority of expense in a restoration is the time and labor. And you obviously have been stellar in that category. This is one of the my beautiful 911s I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. Ice Green Metallic is the best 911 color of all time. I unfortunately had to sell my 964 Targa last year, so thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.
Excellent job and saved this car for the future.
That thing is Absolutely Insanely Beautiful….!!!! WOW! It has come such a tremendous way! Built not bought FOR REAL!!!
This car is truly stunning, I fully see where your coming from saying this is a budget resto but with both you and your dads skill, work ethic, commitment and sheer perseverance the outcome has put many money no object restorers to shame. Thank you for showing we all can achieve our own dreams with this series just by saying "I can do this"
It is genuinely beautiful. Well done - you must be stoked!
Beautiful! Awesome rebuild. Older 911s are so much better in so many ways than modern techno-911s.
Love your videos. I particularly like when you rebuild components that are usually bought new or remanufactured, such as the igintion switch and brake vacuum booster, among others. I'm a lifelong car guy, almost 70 years old, and I still learn tricks and tips watching your videos. Thank you! Your neighbor in TN.
Been watching this series since the 2nd episode. Finally watched the first episode yesterday and man, the channel has come a long way!
I’ve watched this from the first episode . You have made the most incredible job of the car.
The satisfaction you must have in doing this yourself ,with the help of your father.
All respect,and you deserve the success in growing your channel.
I’m thousands of miles away in Scotland ,but that’s the beauty of TH-cam .
Your an inspiration to thousands of young people around the world to get out and work on old cars.
I watched every video and remember the initial cleanup and floor prep. I must admit I thought it was hopeless at first but did enjoy your ability to overcome obstacles. The dash is another good example. Boy was that a mess and look at it now. You guys have done an awesome job on this car. I hope it delivers enjoyment for years to come!
Well Congratulations Boys, I been watching since part 1 and can't actually believe it's done, at first I thought their never gonna do it but once you had it on its side in the backyard I knew this day would come, she's beautiful and you guys should be dang proud a yourselves.. BTW: That maverick already runs, could imagine it in this condition, :)
I have just finished binge watching this build. The work you have done to resurrect this 911 T is nothing short of miraculous. As the father of two sons it is gratifying to see you and your Dad work so well together. If I may offer a gentle and kindly meant comment, the word Cognac is pronounced CON-YAK. I don’t know why, just an oddity of the language. I have followed and enjoyed your videos and your lovely family. Keep up the great work.

That car is a piece of art. I know it's not completely finished but you should all be very proud of yourselves as you have saved a genuine classic from the fragger. Take care and keep up the very enjoyable content. ❤🏴
Beautiful! What an adventure you have had. My Dad helped me with 3 different restorations, a 1960 Morris Mini, a 1972 914 1.7, and a 1973 914 2.0. Then he worked with me on my Swift DB2 Racecar as my crew and number one fan. Enjoy this time with your Dad. I now have a 2003 911 C4S and need to do some repairs and upgrades, but am a little distracted by our first grand child. Retired and busier than ever!
Wow, just amazing.From junkyard car to museum gem
I’ve watched your process with this 911 for around 3 years … eager to see the progress each time … I’ve been contending with cancer treatments the whole time of your activity on this car … I’m really pleased to see basically the finished article … love the genuine and honest presentation - Hugh from the UK ❤
This car has truly had a second chance at life. Keep up the good work, I love the car!
Once again, this has to be one of the most spectacular builds I have seen on YT! That car NEVER looked that good coming out of the factory. The clever mix of when-to-refurb and when-to-buy (pricey or on a budget) was just so spot-on. I have seen compliments come from hard-core Porsche folks who have marveled at your creativity and technical IQ. Just really impressive all the way around -- you have built yourself a ride that you can always be proud of. Whether you go get ice cream with the kiddos or take her to a show, let your buttons pop! Kudos & Cheers!!!
You have brought so much info and joy. Thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for the support! 😊
You guys have done an AMAZING job saving that car! THANK YOU!!!!
It has been 3 years?!! You have done an amazing job on this car. A great accomplishment. Congratulations and enjoy the drive.
The color combo of exterior and interior id absolutely dead on perfect.
The copper on the targa emblem was a good choice.
It looks and sounds great! Well done, I've really enjoyed this series.
WOW !!, this car is absolutely stunning !. I’ve watched from the very start of this build and cannot believe the transformation. The car is simply beautiful and you both should be so proud with how it’s turning out, you deserve it for all of the hours and hard work that has gone into it. The Porsche built your Channel and has allowed you to do what you love full time.
Great channel, phenomenal build series. Thanks for the entertainment so far.
Unbelievable! I could not believe that you took on this project but you knocked it out the park!You exceeded my expectations ❤
3 years already? Incredible. I’ve been here since day 1 and it’s one of my favorites for sure. The car turned out beautiful and I cannot wait to see the 100% finished product.
I love this project. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best regards, Frank 🙋♂️🇩🇪
Your colours are fabulous. The car looks amazing.
You don’t give yourself enough credit. Your car is amazing. Great job. We’re looking forward to seeing you finish it completely. Keep up the great work, love your channel.
Love it. An old Porsche always requires some dialing in. Your color choice and the details were great and most importantly it makes you happy!
It’s looking really really good, your and your dads attention to detail is first class.
This car is why I subbed. You did not disappoint. Enjoy it this summer!
Outstanding Michael! More fun per $ than anything you could own. Remember, all the fun is above 4000 revs!
You can be very proud of yourself for the results you have achieved with this. Congratulations!
Car looks perfect to me!!! LOVE the Nardi steering wheel, great choice! Great job Michael and Dad!
Absolutely gorgeous restoration! Well done! We were waiting so long for this 35th episode and it’s finally there. I can wholeheartedly rely on this build as I myself had a Porsche Targa 1973 back in 1984 when I was 20. She was 100’000 km old when I bought it but still brand new almost. What a quality car that was. And she was white exactly like this one. If only I had kept it.... sold it for 8000 Swiss francs 2 years later, what a fool of me.
One of the 'best' restorations on TH-cam right now. You need to watch episode 1 to really appreciate the transformation. Nice work guys!
Thank you for bringing us along on the restoration of this 911. It has been a fantastic series. I have really enjoyed it. After this, I’m sure you guys can tackle anything!
Been watching this channel since before this build. When you started this build, I said, I don't think he knows what he's getting himself into. Well. . . you didn't, but you persevered and conquered!! Great work, love all the personal touches as well. Love your channel and love that you and your dad can work full time together!! Ya'll make a great team.
This is the reason I started watching your channel. Absolutely beautiful car and I love how you've done everything.
This is the car that has made the channel and so good to see it nearly finished Michael
A couple of roof panels and boom she is all done
It really does look so good and shows what you can do with patience and a small budget
If you took it back to the wrecking yard I would love to see the guys face who sold it to you
Thank you for being able to be on the journey of repair 😍😍👍👍
Welcome to the rewarding world of Air Cooled 911's. The best sound, and a visceral driver's experience. Forget budget, your car looks like a $1MM! Good call on the copper Targa emblems. I have to do the same on mine.
I am English, and your J B WELD is the absolute best, I tell every one how good that stuff is. Love the videos, great entertainment. Peace be unto you.
Been Fuggin waitin for one of these 🙃
Just watching big Dezzy on VGG and then right back 😉
What a beautiful car. It's hard to believe its a budget build, looks like a million bucks!
Great to see you have reached such progress. It must be super rewarding when you look back at how it was 3 years ago. ❤
AMAZING! I can't believe that's the same car you pulled out of the junk yard.
The first episode you got this car body was the very first episode I watched and I'v been watching every one since! You and your Dad have done a stellar job on this car 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Love the tach. You've certainly earned the right to do anything you please with the car.
I usually say: Noice. But today...it's Wooow. I mean, out of the ballpark and then some. The interior looks amazing. I was a bit skeptic about the interior colour choice, as I was with the ice green, but it does blend in perfectly. The dash green thing was a cool choice. You must have goose bumps every time you drive it. It came from deader than dead...to just wooow. You fellas rock. So glad I was part of this journey. Rob, Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia
Love it! The interior looks amazing, looks vintage!
She's looking more and more beautiful all the time.
That build is INSANE! 😳😍
This was a good series. I basically binge watched it all.
You have achieved the impossible! I am in the UK and I have enjoyed watching each episode of your beautiful work from the very start. Your fine and loving attention to detail must surely repay you handsomely. I hope you will justifiably enjoy the rewards for all of your careful efforts for a long time to come. Drive safe and thank you.
This is one of the nicest 911 rebuilds I've ever seen. I like how you took some liberties with it since it's not an all-original build. It's even nicer than it would have been from the factory!
This channel shows me the possible, and what hard work can accomplish. The porche looks incredible !!!
Man I’ve been following you with this one since you brought it home from the scrap yard! And I’m so freaking happy you rescued that beauty! Absolutely amazing job you’ve done so far with your Dad! It’s turning out looking freaking amazing and gorgeous!! Wow! I’m so impressed!!👌🥰👉❤️👍I can’t wait to see more updates on this beauty! Man you should take it to the scrapyard where you bought it from! And see how stunned they’re going to be!!
I love this project and this car! Great job!! Can't wait til it's finished!. Thank you for doing it. 911 is my absolute dream car!
Wow if I didn't know better I would think that this car just came off of the line of the Porschea lot it's so cool keep up the great work guys!!
You have done a fantastic job with this car! Such a labour of love and wonderful bonding experience for you and your Dad, not to mention your kids. I hope you keep this car forever. You have such a wonderful positive attitude of hard work, passion and perseverance! 😊 ❤
Its a beautiful ride. Thats for sure
I think that the car is a fantastic reflection of all the dedicated work you and your dad have carried out. Gorgeous car! 😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
Dang guys, that thing is a work of art. And I love all of your color and texture choices
You have done an all around fantastic job on this Car!! I wish you would stop saying its not perfect, because it is! The proof is in the before and after photos. You turned it from Junk, to Gem and you should be very proud of Yourself.
