- This week we are bringing this Guards Red Porsche 944 back to life! It came in running but didn't have any service history. So we started out by replacing the timing belt and water pump. Then we got the passenger side window and head lights working. Afterwards we replaced all the wheel bearings, rotors, rebuilt the brakes, and replaced the koni's all around. Once all that was finished up we sent it to paint!

Good to save this beautiful Porsche 👍🏻
Another 944 soul has been saved. Great work by the team.
Thanks, Chuck! Hope all is well!
Love my 1983. I have the tweed/vinyl interior.
Proud owner of a 1990 S2 Cabriolet….a gift to myself in 2004 when I turned 50 and made O-6 in the Navy. I drive it only during late spring to early fall (I live in western Massachusetts). Sadly, getting ready to put her back in storage for next six months. I love seeing these things on the road! So, thanks for saving the soul of yet another! And Bravo-Zulu…..on another great video.
Funny how casually you mention that new vacuum hose under the intake. I replaced that same one recently and was like - holy cow this little hose is only available from Porsche and is over 100 dollars!
Yup, and we have to replace just about every one of them too!
Looks good!!!
Thanks!
Deja vu, it's almost like I just did a belt job a month ago to my turbo lol. Very nice car, great to see it going back on the road.
I just noticed I’m in the credits lol
Thanks again for being a Patreon supporter!
Amazing work. The 944 saviour strikes again. Thanks for sharing this with us, we appreciate it more than you know. Peace out from Canada.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome !
Thanks!
Awesome video
Thanks!
I got my 928 back together and it’s running just fine. I had 1 bad injector, injectorRX did a good job rebuilding them.
Pretty satisfied overall, more to come next year 👍🏽
Cheers

Clean looking after that new paint!
Thanks!
Another beautiful work by the team! Thank you for sharing.
your channel is awesome, you answered a lot of questions i had throughout your videos !!!
My very favorite one of your videos;) enjoyed every second of watching it, will be watching that one over and over and sharing with friends and family!!!!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Car looks fabulous, love the new paint job!
Thanks!
Love your videos, really inspiring. How do you install the Porsche badges on the early cars since the nose panel is welded down? Thanks in advance.
There are rubber grommets in the nose panel that hold the badge in place using tension. No nuts or anything is used on those. I hope that helps!
Great work.
Thanks!
Beautiful work as always!!!
Thanks!
Very nice job!
Thanks!
Good Job, great new video
I really want to send you mine! I don’t know where to start though
Send me an email: edredas@gmail.com. Thanks!
Well done! When you popped the hood I was initially thinking, “This one looks pretty clean,” and then with the covers off, “Oh man!” I’m beginning to feel like most of these that have sat for awhile really could benefit from a full engine rebuild.
So many little items to care for on this one, I’m wondering how long you guys had it from intake to delivery?
It definitely wouldn’t hurt. I thought for sure it was going to need a rear main seal but I guess we got lucky. However it likely is just a matter of time. That said, I want to say that his was close to a year, or at least ten or eleven months. Thanks!
@@edredas It always seems from the editing that these builds are taking about a week 😁
I need to get my ac done :(
What cleaner did you use one your engine? the metal is sooo shiny!
We use LA’s Totally Awesome cleaner. Weird name but available a lot of places. It’s the best degreaser I’ve ever used.
@@edredas awesome. I’ll test it out
Do you have a recommendation on where to buy replacement carpet for a 944? Thanks
I’ve never had much luck with reproduction carpets. They always seem baggy and ill fitting since the factory carpet was molded. So we will often get used carpet from a parts breaker that’s in good shape. That said, if you want brand new carpet try only944.com. However if you don’t mind used try plyhammers Porsche or 944 barn. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your reply and help!! Great videos and it’s one of the reasons I bought a 944.
I need all of this done. Can I ship it to you?
Absolutely! Email me at edredas@gmail.com
Nice one, a lot of work has been done, may I ask in which price region do we come with this mini restoration?
This was in the $10k range
Brett my 84 paint is ok but I want a nice repaint like this. And the stereo and speakers replaced. Clutch replaced and lsd trans rebuilt. Any idea of the ballpark? I’ve already spent a lot getting it to be nicer. Also door trim that’s black are scuffed up.
Send me an email at edredas@gmail.com and I’ll go over some of our packages! Thanks!
Hey Brent, have you ever used a heat gun to remove the old plastic trim on the sides of the car ??😀😀😁😁🍺🍺
We use a combination of razor, heat gun, and rubber wheel eraser to remove everything from the chip guards/trim. I hope that helps!
Thanks Brent!! Hey man I resealed the oil cooler on my wife's 924 , I didn't have access to a OPRV tool ,, if it is stuck will the oil pressure be high ? Because now I have a oil leak at the rear of the cam housing near the oil feed to the cam . Thoughts ?? Thanks
What does that much work cost to do?
This was about $10k. Thanks!
Thank you for responding.
Great videos like always! I wish you were local to me in southeast Texas. Can you help me out with any tips or where to start?? I have an early 85' 944 and my tach does not work but the GPH does. I've looked under the dash in the driver's footwell and don't see any disconnected wires/ harnesses. PO said "it was a good day when the tach worked". Where do I go from here?? I want my tach to work!!!
The early Tachometers are a common issue. The only thing you can really do when they don't work anymore is replace them. Contact Elliott at 944 barn about getting a good used one and that should fix your issue. His email is egrafton944@hotmail.com
@@edredas awesome. Thank you so much! Would you suggest 944 barn over Plyhammer ?
I wonder how much this job cost? I have a similar car needing the work.
Send me an email: edredas@gmail.com and we can go over some options! Thanks!
The wrecker has a 704 area code are you located near Georgia? What is that? NC?
We are near Charlotte but we get cars from all over! This car was from Georgia. Thanks!
@@edredas I’d love to bring mine to you for you to look over!
Send me an email: edredas@gmail.com
@@edredas I definitely will. I have done a TON of work to the car. It was an ok car and now it’s a pretty great car but there are a few things that I’d like a pro to knock out. I’ll send you an email first of the year after the holidays to get on your calendar.
Sound good! Talk to you after the holidays!
You work on 911’s??
Not at the moment, but we do eventually hope to expand the business so we can work on those as well. At the moment we have just enough manpower to work on all the 944's that we have. We often have 10-15 944's here along with 20-30 inquires a month. So we haven't really had the opportunity to do so. Thanks!
@@edredas awesome! Well I’ve been looking for a 944 for my son to restore as well…hopefully find one with a great interior like the one you just worked on
Awesome! Good luck with your search!
What kind of paint did they put on the car? Did they go back single stage or with a clear coat? Looks great!
Thanks! We go with a super glossy two stage paint. Once I get my 1984 back on the road I’m getting my 1988 daily driver painted. Can’t wait!
