This week, Jack takes our super cheap Porsche 924 barn find which we pulled out of a field, and started up for the first time in 20 years, to a renowned Porsche specialist; @RPMTechnikGB. We'll see if we bought a solid project car, or if it's a pile of rust that needs to go to a scrap yard.
Massive shout out to @RPMTechnikGB for looking over our 924! If you've got a Porsche, check out them out;

That repair bill wasnt as bad as i was expecting
That's without the bodywork work needed to prevent it from falling apart. xD
I believe that is without labour just for parts :)
Moss has such character. It's like the old veteran walking into a garage full of young lads and standing proud.
standing proud but with a bum leg and a few cuts and bruises lol
I genuinely love that, looks like a farm ornament in amongst all those pristine Porsches
Of all of the cars you guys have done I’d say this one deserves the rebuild. Would be an awesome build series
can't wait to see it on the road 🔥
yay im the 10th like and the first comment
Me too!
damn the official channel
XDD
bruh youtube commenting on a youtube video feels like inception
I love these series you got going on. Keep restoring these old classics. Super fun to watch
Most entertaining.
Jack’s sarcasm and dry humour is unmatched 😂
Drivetribe and Car Throttle upload at the same time? Time to watch Car Throttle and let Drivetribe sit in my watch later list for weeks.
Amen i see them both ping up and im like naaah car throttle all the way
@@conner6052 Better than sitting through 10mins worth of adverts and sponsors for 5mins of content at Drivetribe 👀
Drive tribe videos feel like just 10 minute adverts some times I don’t enjoy them anymore
Ditto. Both came through for me at 18:00.
@@DSPrints_This, and the fact that they outsource all their work and show us very little of the work and also the buying process. Car Throttle wins every time for me. Just wish their videos would come out more frequently. Although that seems to be improving lately tbf
I absolutely love Porsches, and I'm so happy you're trying to bring one back to life 😊 it deserves it! It probably also deserves that supercharger 😂 Priority #1
It probably needs the supercharger just to get back to its original Hp figure... 🤪
They just slap 1000 dollars of parts on it and call it a day 😢
Porches are gai/womans car
Honestly, that would be my dream Porsche 924. No regrets for driving and modifying it, solid structure underneath.. love it! Hope to see it running and driving
Ahh, the rare reverse beetle. Almost as much dung involved, but love it nonetheless!
I liked how everyone completely ignored the mismatched rear tires as a thing to check (here in Finland that is an MOT failure). They would of course be replaced should this ever hit the road again for real, and I really hope it does!
In the UK they don't need to be matching brands, just matching treads. Even in the 1970s we were being told not to mix cross-ply and radials on the same axle and these days I think it's actually illegal. But this car is old enough to be MOT-exempt (you need to be 40+ years from date of manufacture). There are a few exceptions to that rule though.
@@halfbakedproductions7887it's not actually regulated at all here in the UK. As long as all 4 tyres have at least 1.6mm of tread are not cracked or perished and have no tears it doesn't matter if they don't match🤷🏽♂️
@@Afraz_9n3pretty sure its the same in Croatia.
In the UK there is no requirement for tyres on an axle to be matching. It's the first thing I look at when looking at a 2nd hand car I'm considering buying. It's not uncommon to see cars wearing 4 different brand tyres. Sometimes they might not even all be the same width or profile. I bought a Ford Sierra in 1998 which had 195/60/14 tyres all round. The fronts were Goodyears, the rears were 'Warrior' (Chinese) ditchfinders. To the naked eye it was obvious that the rear tyres were about an inch wider than the fronts, even though they were all marked as 195s. 4 mismatched tyres points to people who know nothing about and/or have no interest in cars and hence probably haven't looked after it. I believe in Germany if you get an unrepairable puncture in a tyre, you have to replace both tyres on the axle, no matter how good the undamaged tyre was.
Underrated cars! Need more 924 content!
As a 944S owner, I love to see the 924 content. They’re great cars. Thankfully the 944’s had better rust prevention so I don’t have to worry about that 😂
And the 924 Turbos had fully Galvanized bodies
@@jonmadden59 didn’t know the 924 turbo had the galvanized body too. Thought only the 944’s did.
@@portermcsorley 1981 / 1982 + on the 924 were fully galvanised
@@ZachAscot Yeah, that makes sense since the 944 was introduced in ‘82. Not sure why they’d galvanize one but not the other.
i love the 944s
That's a hell of a comb over.
4:19 Nice, Always Sunny reference...😎
never been a porsche fan but i find my self intrested in a full resto of this one, there something about it, a charm i cant put my finger on
Honestly, such a good series. Loved the golf and now the porsche - keep up the restorations! Such interesting car choices aswel, when the 924 is back to its former glory would love to see an old BM next.....
bot thot account 🚨🚨🚨
Been waiting for this 👌🏼
After seeing this, there is no way my car would pass an MOT if I lived in Europe. 😂 Mine is so rusted out that I can’t jack it up anymore. Had to get ramps so I wouldn’t poke a hole in the undercarriage.
Are you from America by any chance? Some of the stuff I see on KZhead of American cars it amazes me that they're allowed on the road
@@steveastin2684 yessir, we drive death traps because the government takes up all our money. Don’t move here, it’s not actually free. lol
Do you not work worry about its lack of structural rigidity if you were unfortunate enough to ever be in a crash?
@@michaelsmedley7519 depending on how old the car is you wouldn't stand a chance even if the car was in brand new condition. old cars suck for crashing.
Jack's such a great presenter. So glad this channel's covering cars that aren't BMWs, unlike the other channel I shan't mention 😆
Maybe get in touch with Type 911 or Design 911 (both Porsche part specialists) to see if they'd like to sponser you with some nice shiney parts.
I'm pleasantly surprised! I thought that thing was destined for the tip for sure based on how it first looked in the previous vid. I think you guys are on to a winner with this one :)
Love it, could easily watch these old car potential resto's for a good hour at a time. Looking forward to seeing what (if anything) happens to it!
This is perfect for me to watch now, I was going to cook dinner so why not watch this at the same time
Just doing the exact same thing now.
Great vid love theses walk around especially with jack!.
Love watching you guys put the work into restoring these old rotters!
Another good episode! I like the old Porsche, and surprisingly not that bad underneath either. Good series, keep it up
In Rust We Trust! Cracking content.
Brilliant ❤ been waiting for this!!!
i'd absolutely love to see a (full) restoration of this, as long as it's done by you guys!
Love how Jack keeps apologising at the end 😂 "thanks again.....sorry!!" Looking forward to the progress videos 👍🏽
Was a nice treat to bump in to you guys whilst getting my lunch. Nice guys. Good luck with the car.
Please bring this one back to life, looking forward to seeing what you can do with it.
Love Dan Francis - an immense haircut.
Jack is hilarious when hes inspecting cars - I love it
we need to see this car totally restored
Glad to see you trying to get it road legal fix the rust and do a cool wrap
Love the content currently, keep up the great work guys
These are the best series - getting an old tincan to work again. Wonderfull, and quite educational. And what a sweet Porsche guy! More stupid old classics please, it's such a treat. Thank you guys!
Always enjoy the content on the channel well done everyone 👍👍👍
Also this ep was so wholesome. Good content mate.
Said it before but Jack’s a great new frontman.
An ocular pat down :D Brilliant!
Loved the gentian blue Manthey 992 GT3 in the background
Wish you guys can make more videos. I understand the video takes time but damn I need my car throttle fix 😊 good job on the content guys
Aha, my week is complete - finally the latest installment in the Porsche series!
Seriously loving these!!
Looking forward to seeing what you guys end up doing to this Porsche
Used to love this and quickly got fed up with alex so good to see him gone and can finally watch and enjoy these vids now
Loving another episode of the boys
Great stuff guys!
I love this content, please make many more content like this
Really really wana see a series of this being restored.
Good work Guys!
I’m really hoping you get it repaired! 🤞
I see about 2k worth parts to replace and its good to go. Not bad!
More like $1200 plus bodywork.
Not to bad actually I wonder why the hood is absolutely shagged in comparison to the rest of the car....
@@gnaedigerfels its mostlikely had a some sort of accident since its been repainted and has tons of bondo. Hood has a hole because these amateurs couldnt open the hood without destroying it. 😅
@@TheNismo777 how would you have opened it?
Great Video Guys, would be great to restore some abandoned cars In My area!
Best series on youtube, this is what top gear should have been
Jack has gone all ‘Full Essex Boy’ again. Geeza 😂😂😂
This week has been shit, to say it politely. So happy to see there's cars that have it worse than me
Get it washed and get some 80s power suits on, would look cool at least hehe! Good stuff
Love this car, have to get it back to glory
This channel not only bounchef back better than ever jack is perfect man got the job . My only complaint is wish the episodes came out quicker
I definitely think a full restoration is in order. A proper one.
I’d like to see you get it on a track at some point.
You can always trust Jack to get an Always Sunny reference in!
the lock work and many of the other parts aren't using PORSCHE parts. they're using VOLKSWAGEN parts. the door handles are off a mk2 golf/jetta, direct swap. dome light, lock tumblers, interior switches, all that stuff comes from the mk1/2 era golf/jetta parts bin. cut that cost down a ways!
Good lad Moss! ❤
That is the best comb over ever.
Even get it a scrapper bonnet and a wash. Vast improvement.
Not bad ..... "Surprisingly" 😂😂😂
Awesome news!
It's not that bad...could probably get that roadworthy in a weekend!
Can't wait to see it back in mint condition
9:48 "bluetooth exhaust clamp" xD
I'd be more concerned about the inspectors hair do tbh😅
Very clever editing with the add read, I assume you filmed Jacks bit and forgot to get Ethan into frame?
If you guys have it in your budget to fix it I certainly would. Given what you paid for it and what you'll pay for the repairs that's still cheaper than finding a running and driving decent Sudan or small van. Plus no matter what Porsche people say it is still a Porsche. I think she's worth saving. Plus you can give the car a fun name like Betty Green or something like that because of all the moss.
I would love to find 924 some day. It is one of my favorite cars per shape. So elegant. How much did they pay for the bad one here?
I’m actually surprised, it’s definitely in better condition than I expected and well worth rescuing.
If Car Throttle restores this one in a serious/semi-serious way, they could influence the market, as many other will want to have such a gem.
Keep this! Gwt the structure done by someone that knows what they are doing and take it from there. Dont leave this one in a field to rot further!!
I think you guys should try and fix it on the cheap, learn new things too ! The challenge is to pass the MOT . Ethan can scrape the underside ! Jack can do electrics and Edwin can weld !!!
Wahey a new upload 👌👌
I remember in 2007 I brought 2 924 for the grand total of £300. Neither had MOT one was silver one was black. The silver one was a very basic spec and had been a cat d. The black one was newer and a nicer spec have a sunroof and multi spoke alloys I got both MOTed sold the silver one which paid for the tax mot and insurance for the black one which I owned for 12 months re-MOTed sold the black one for £2500
love a multi spook alloy..
@@BBFCBBFC-fc2ub didn’t realise 😆
haha, not a criticism, it just tickled me! I remember going with a friend to collect a new 924 from AFN back in the day@@ianfrost3529
Correction* everything IS wrong with our cheap Porsche
You should do a detailing video on the Porsche
Would love to this transformed and bought back to life.
MOT exemption ? Winning!
I think it would look cool slightly lowered with coilovers !!
I love the idea of that car being mechanically perfect, but keeping the dirty body
I’d love to see you guys take this to an interior detailer
I love Moss, save him, please!
Miracles do happen, get it back on the road.
Yea, 4k is the next cheapest on Autotrader and that's got decent paint. Still it's relatively solid so worth saving IMO.
Great content
let's hope it uses the same Calipers as the Golf? 😂
in the end you could do a top gear and make furniture out of it
I like you guys more than Auto Alex keep the videos coming.😀
