    These cars need folks like you to bring them back. The engine starting up must have almost been as got as having a kid. Congrats.

      They won't restore themselves! It was a great moment, no doubt

    I love the “ Smiling “ that was cool. Beautiful ride. Happy for you and the car. Match made in heaven.

    I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
    So sick!!

    Happy to see a new YT video instead of just insta :) P.S. not sure if you heard the news about Deus... they opened a new location near us on PCH in newport and are opening a 2nd location in LA with resturant (like the Deus Lodge in UK). Still down for a coffee if you ever are lmk.

    Not trying to talk smack about your mechanical abilities, but doesn't the engine go in the front?! Dude that's such a huge accomplishment congratulations! Thank you for the update! Hope you get the bugs sorted out soon so you can really enjoy all your work.

    Man I’m so happy that you got it started- I was a bit concerned when your friend wasn’t standing guard at the engine bay when you cranked it over (the last thing you want is a fuel leak to ruin your day!) . The great thing about these cars is, it’s probably a simple fix.

    I have a 1989 Yamaha FZR1000, 1967 Pontiac Catalina, 2002 Subaru Impeza WRX, 2009 Subaru Forester and AAA RV. 100 miles of towing has come in handy a number of times.

    Great vid, great journey. Nice to a see this old PCar moving on its own. I enjoy this channel because of the shared experience of bringing back a couple of my own… both of which continue to deliver smiles, tears, cussing and memories only possible with years of tremendous spousal support

    • @michaelgideon6422
      @michaelgideon6422  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Spousal support is key! Appreciate the support man

    Nice! SWB 912’s are cool. Probably a small issue like a ground that came loose. Next step paint correction on the single stage paint?

    • @michaelgideon6422
      @michaelgideon6422  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll drive it for a while and enjoy it while deciding if I'll mess with the paint. I may never mess with it.

    i loved my 912 back in the 70s but always fearful it would break down and bankrupt me like it did the previous owner but it never had a problem just rust in front pan to suspension but back then only 400 to fix
