I feel like your custom 966 is one of thoose cars that at a meet would draw a crowd just to figure out wtf is going in with it. Deeply in love with that thing and how you completely changed the front design
I just started watching and I would use the welder to start to fix my 54 Willy
Anyone who didn't know what was going on wouldn't know Porsche. It is obviously a slantnose tribute.
I love how this is coming out and also love your explanation of the process. The 928 was one of my childhood favorites that you don't see around much these days and it's great seeing one properly customized.
Great video, thank you for including struggles and imperfections. It really helps to see even professionals have struggles and to see what they do to overcome them.
Thanks! We also think it’s important to keep it real - nobody’s perfect! Cheers!
Really appreciate the welding tips and of course the wide body 928 is just badass
I appreciate how in depth you go on all of the techniques but also add a bit of light-hearted levity; it keeps things interesting and engaging. Thank you, for taking the time and extra effort to share this information and project.
👏 👏 👏 Very excited 👏 👏 👏
I love this 928 widebody aesthetic so much.
This just makes me want to start my wide body project! Really like the welding tips, I am not a welder at all but if I had that machine I would spend hours learning how to weld!!
Like how you explained the importance of not to cool your welds down, when jou do cool your welds down fast you are going to increase the likelihood that it might crack in the future. Keep up the good work
If I won that welder I would finish converting my 03 WRX Wagon into a wide-body(STI Bugeye wagon). I already have a STI front end on the car. I have the doors and rear quarter panels waiting to be put on the car. Eventually I will be building the motor and converting it to a newer STI 6-spd. This project means so much to me because I got the car so me and my Dad could repair our relationship and I grew up watching Rally and Ken Block videos. My Dad passed away October 16th 2019.(Unfortunately my sister passed away roughly a month later) and now that Ken Block has passed away I have a renewed drive to finish it as a tribute to all 3 of them. Thats why I love watching this Porsche build so much Im learning the skills I need to go through with it myself. Im sorry Im a day late getting the comment in I have Church Saturdays.
Always appreciate how well you describe your tutorials while you work. If I had the Eastwood welder it would be used none stop! I’d use it to fabricate the charge piping for my LT4 pro charged Camaro, build the tubular front suspension for my bagged 05 dodge ram and complete the body work on my fiancés Jaguar XJS. Keep bringing these awesome videos!
you have great metal shaping abilities, this is the best channel I have found for learning sheet metal shaping and welding. If I win the welder, I would use it on automotive sheet metal fab work as well as general fabrication work.
Man I love that overhead shot that really shows how perfectly the new wider hips flow with the original lines of the car! Well done brother! If I won that tig 200 I’d use it probably every day to get better at welding and to finally tackle the gigantic back log of projects I’ve been sitting on while saving for a quality welder. Keep up the great work and informative videos! It really inspires me to keep working on my fabrication skills.
Awesome build. True craftsmanship. If I won that welder I would start building custom go karts.
First off you've taught me more about Sheetmetal working in even this video alone than I have ever received at any body shop I've worked at or any other youtube video. So thank you tips and lessons here are a huge help for me with my endless projects including my 1986 BMW E30. And if I were to get my hands on that Eastwood I'd put it right to work with starting on my rear tubs I need to weld in on my E30.
Fantastic. Great the way you not only explain what you're doing, but also why you do it that way. AND why you shouldn't do things a (common, but) wrong way. Love this project.
I’m currently building a pre runner out of a 1996 bronco. If I had that welder, I would use it to weld up the new suspension perches and welding up custom bumpers. I also like little weekend projects and I build metal fire pits
This thing is coming along so beautifully! If I won that TIG, I’d be doing so much of the needed rust repairs on my car as well as fabricating parts and reinforcement point on my body kit
You're slowly giving me the confidence I need to start restoring my rusty '66 Cortina. THAT's what I'd do with the TIG 200. :D
Cant wait to see the 928 completed, its gonna be one hell of a car. I currently have 2 projects lined up that were pass down to me by man dad, a 67 mustang and a 78 f100. Both cars need quite the fab work. If I were to win the tig welder, It would help me learn how to tig weld thin sheet metal, for which I can use to repair most of the rust problems in both of my projects!
Love this car. love this talent being shared. First thing i would do with that welder is build a workbench and a welding table to put fixtures on. Never stop doing these videos. They are great.
Love how you are doing things that no other automotive youtuber is really doing, this is refreshing to see. If I got that welder, the first project to tackle would be to weld in some replacement panels on my project volvo 242.
You guys aren't gonna believe it but winning that tig welder would mean I could finally weld a custom ducktail spoiler for my very own '85 Porsche 928S!!! Loving your videos on your custom widebody 928! So informative and inspirational! Keep 'em coming!
At 61 years old I finally want to learn how to weld , I'm in the process of doing an ls4 transplant on my 87 fiero, some welding mods to the engine cradle and eng trans mounts . This welder would make it considerably easier for me to learn and i also just acquired an 85 928s to play with .
You are a great instructor and very good with explaning your process. You make it look easy and I know from my very limited experience that it is anything but.
Btw loving this video. My body work skills have massively improved since following you. With me being self taught the more I learn the better I get! So thank you for mentoring me!
Great to hear!
Really loving all your welding tips. If I won that welder I would use it for improving my welding skills and rust repairs on my actual first car that is sittingfor 15 years. Cheers!
This is so cool to see coming together. The hand done work is amazing. Need me a welder to hone some skills! Headers and intercooler pipes are what I'm most excited to learn about
If I had a tig welder, I would attempt to repair the rust on the quarters of my first car that has turned into more of a barn find after sitting for 10yrs begging to be restored. its nothing special, a 92 honda accord but I like to see the old girl back in its former glory. Watching your channel really inspires me on one hand to try this project and intimidates me with the "ah shit" what did I get myself into
If I were to get that welder today I'd spend the next few days playing with it till I'd feel confident enough to start restoring my mini with the help from watching your videos on how to do it properly.
Wish I had your videos to watch 5+ years ago when I was trying to teach myself to make new door skins for my wife's Datsun 510. I see so many things I could have done a lot better. Keep up the killer work! Also that welder, I need a tig in my life, mig welding isn't cutting it for me anymore. I started building roll cages about 2 years ago and a tig would give me the ability to start working with chromoly!
Absolutely amazing skill levels, great video! Love watching your creations
I am starting a project of my own on a BMW 650i, and I will use it to do my own custom widebody modification. As well as building a custom gravity fed smoker.
Love to see the progress on this project. If I was lucky enough to win that TIG 200 LCD I t would allow me to greatly move ahead with my own custom widebody Datsun 240Z project. Looking forward to the next video,
I'm feeling pretty inspired watching this Porsche transform. I'd definitely try to to widebody a car if I'd got my hands on that TIG 200. I've got a Subaru GC8 Impreza that needs a quarter panel, it's a perfect guinea pig. Exhaust system is also on the list for that car, it would make great welding practice beforehand. After that I'd probably make some custom bodywork on my 1979 Opel Kadett C, I'd love to get some more modern and sporty design language in the front of that.
Oh boy here we go :D
I work at a bodyshop, but this is so far out, compared to what we do. We dont fabricate any pieces ourselves, but man.. Seeing the work you do, makes me want to actually do that.
Your videos are amazing tutorials. Great job. I've been a hobbiest body guy since 1976 and retiring soon. My plan is to embrace metal shapping more so I've been adding to my tool collection. One item I still need is a tig welder and would love to have the Eastwood Tig 200 LCD for this project vs. gas welding the butt joints I would use it on a 1956 F100 phantom project I plan to build using 1956 panel van quarters I purchased. Keep up the great work!
Currently welding the sills on my e34 touring and planning to do an E30 M3 style wide body. Great to see proper panel making and welding, love your videos
love the channel, long as you guys stay consistent, you WILL grow quickly!!
I would fix Tony’s sword. (With the welder). Quarter panel is looking fire! Can’t wait to see it all put together!
HAH, good choice. 😂🤝🏻
I'm now learning to MIG weld and have alot of good information from this channel, even if you don't MIG weld alot, it's still good info. I found your page on Instagram before I started seeing your video pop up on my YT feed great wor. My prompt would be to help in my future cyberpunk inspired build.
I always look forward to a new video. And sure I'd LOVE to have a giveaway TIG. One of the reasons I watch this channel is because it is a representation of a long-term fantasy I've had of making a widebody XJS that flows (like the Hyper version instead of the more cut and fold Lyster). But that also means I'll have to do some general metal work on the old doner... the first car I ever bought.. long neglected.. my old XJS I bought decades ago... which it is time to resurrect. And yes, it will need some metal work now.
Such great information that you are giving!! Gives people like myself more confidence in welding. If I had the chance to win that Tig welder it would actually be my first one! I would definitely have tons of projects lined up once I get the hang of it. Keep pushing out videos, WE LOVE EM!!
I started doing body work as a hobby a few years ago, and I found your channel while researching a better method to butt weld panels. I appreciate your patience and clear explanations. I would love to up my game to tig welding. If I had the Eastwood tig 200 I would take on aluminum and stainless steel projects and push myself to get much more professional with my quality. I started a crappy youtube Chanel for my friends to see what I'm working on, and the tig welder would give me a much needed boost (kick in the pants) to keep at it and make more videos.
Wow such a beautiful result 👌😉
Realy like your videos, I’m working on my old Nissan 200sx and I would use the Eastwood TIG 200 on my up coming task sunroof delete which I’m terefied of doing since I’m afraid of warping the he.. out of the roof. But watching you work gives me confidence that ut can be done
Love the progress. Inspiration for me to do steel flares on my 85 Toyota Supra and that Eastwood welder would sure help!
Great tips and techniques. Especially appreciated are the closeups so we can see the imperfections or perfections of a pro.
Who doesn’t like those hips! You can send me an Eastwood machine, I’d use it for steel and leave my other machine set up for aluminum.
Great work
I'd use the TIG on my first restoration project that I have just started after being inspired by your videos.
Thanks for the informative video again. If I'd win the Eastwood I'd finish welding rear frame of my Suzuki TL Cafe racer🤘🏻🔥
Cheers from Las Vegas. With that Eastwood welder, if it was in my possession , I would annoy the hell out of the wifey as I would be in the garage all the time and not doin the honey do’s. First project would be to build the tank for a mini chopper project for the grandkids. Great vids brothers, learning a lot from this channel. Keep ‘‘em coming .
Amazing work😍🥰
Super nice video!...
Just attended a tig seminar at Fuller Moto and would definitely use the 200 on my next Lincoln build. I'm planning on a sister car to my main custom 79 suicide Continental. Would be a great addition to my shop! Love your work!
Self tough myself to mig weld, next is learn tig welding. Love your videos
Love it keep it coming
Thanks! And absolutely. 🤝🏻
I the work you guys do. I especially love the fact that you treat all Porsches as the great cars they are (for the most part as a fellow 996 owner searching for a new engine). I also love the fact that I learn when I watch you videos. If i won the welder it would first practice as i want to learn to tig weld. But primarily it would be used to do the welding on my own projects in my home garage. I have everything from a 1940 plymouth to a 996 to a nissan 240sx and a 1995 ford f350. All of them need work some more than others. The welder would help me make the work happen.
Looks great !
Thank you! Cheers!
I am currently restoring a Porsche 924S, if I win the welder I would use it to make a custom exhaust. I am hopeful I wont find any rust when I pull up the carpets but if I do it would come in handy for that project as well. Love the videos, super informative!
I had a huge 928 come up on me on my way home from Stuttgart. I heard and saw it in my rearview and out my windshield at the same time.
I have a Jato-Walker golf cart from late 50's to early 60's that I need to do some metal work on to restore it. Having that tig welder would help immensely!
top of the notch
Very nice hand work. It look very good👍👍
Great videos! Super detailed, which is helpful. I'd love to have that TIG to help with my own frankenstein project of getting a Karmann Ghia, a C4 Corvette, and a BBC to play nicely with each other while maintaining the elegance of the KG's original design as much as possible.
That level of sheet metal work is so amazing to see. I could definitely use a tig welder to improve my fabrication game and hopefully continue to grow my own shop, Foxbat Motorsports.
Always love watching these videos, storing tips and advice in my memory, and marvelling at how you turn a flat sheet of relatively boring metal into a thing of beauty. If I was lucky enough to get the welder, I could finally see my way to learning how to weld better than the amateur efforts I've made with a mig welder, and perhaps even get around to building that pie-cut exhaust pipe I've been dreaming about for my 1984 GPz 900. Don't know if you'd be able to ship it to the UK though!
Did you know that the 928 has a "Weissach axle" in the rear? It is a passive rear steering system that will turn the rear wheels under cornering loads to allow it to turn better in a corner. I would be sad to see your beautiful wide body rear steel fenders get damaged because they didn't have enough clearance for agressive driving when finished. Keep up the good work, your fab skills and video skills are top notch 👌!
Def would be using this to weld my intercooler piping for my LSX Magnum.
If I had the Eastwood TIG 200 LCD I would finally start the restoration on my wife’s 1972 Fairlane. Needs a heap of rust repairs and that welder would do the job perfectly
I'm rebuilding a 1977 Land Cruiser, I would be able to weld all the patch panels in the correct way! I also plan on building a cage for my RZR this summer. Great videos and awsome tips!
Love these videos. Always informative and entertaining. If I wont that welder I would use it to learn TIG and work on the rust repair of my Subaru swapped 914. It would give me a chance to give my old Hobart MIG a break.
If I win that welder, I can build a custom exhaust and roll cage for my race car. Love all your videos, I learned a lot from you.👍🏻
Thanx for all the AWESOME info you put in all your videos, if I won the Eastwood TIG 200 LCD my youngest son and I would learn to Tig together!!!! I know how to Mig weld already but haven't ever had the chance to Tig for any length of time so it would be a great opportunity to add another tool to our arsenal at my son and I shop in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Extreme Performance & Tuning of OKC. Thank You Kevin Fisher Sr & Kevin Fisher Jr from EPT OKC 👍👍👍👍
I got a 1966 gmc c20 I’m doing body work to it and a lot of miscellaneous farm projects this tig will very helpful
Nice work mate 👍👍👍🇦🇺😎
If I had that welder I would put it in my new home shop. I am building an Honda VFR interceptor to mimic the Moto2 bikes of MotoGP. Love the build.
Great video. :)
Damn this is going to be sick!! I’m not a 928 fan, but this looks amazing. I would help my 13 year old twin boys learn a new skill. And I would use it to customize an old Ford Pickup. Love your content!!
18:22 if I hade a Eastwood tig 200 lcd I will continue with restoring my old Volvo 164 where the doors start to rot and my cafe racer cx500 so that I can make a bracket for my rear master brake cylinder. I was always scared to make my own weld but have been taking lessons, and I surely improved.
And love your content!! Keep it up!
I'm starting on making a car basically from scratch, planning on using a pre-1995 corvette chassis as a jumping off point since apparently in Maryland it's basically impossible to register a custom car for the street. Although I'll be mostly using carbon fiber for panels, I could definitely use a welder for making jigs and things like that. Loving your videos! I'm going to need a bigger shop, maybe you guys could give one of those away too, lol.
The editor missed the opportunity to insert George from Seinfeld yelling about cold things causing shrinkage at 16:40.
Hah, good catch. 😂🤝🏻
Awesome video! If I won this welder I would put it to work on building my first project build - a Mercedes 190E
Great video as always, I would use the Eastwood tig to help finish the flush fit front and back glass of my protouring 1972 Trans am. I have 2 years of metal work in the back of the car, turning a 81 T/A big back window to a small back window, metal rear bumper, spoiler, 2 1/2 inches added to lower the rear quarter and aluminum diverter.
I would finally get started on my custom AWD 92 golf GTI track car
Rule of thumb, "never buttweld your butt".
And with that welder, I could use it with my Son and help him restore his stage II gti..
Love the slant but the 928 is amazing!! I have learned a lot from this series. There is not enough attention given to 928. I am finishing a 911 67 Targa. You asked what we would use that awesome welder for?? Well I am. Merit badge instructor for Boy Scouts. The welding merit badge is a favorite for the kids and I enjoy teaching this art form. The trouble is I have only one and the Scouts do not get as much welding time as the your like. I would wear this mother out!!!! And make possible career opportunities for the next generation. Cheers, make more content lol!!!!
If I won the welder I would use it to make the engine mount for the 1.8t swap on my 986 boxster!
widebody is coming out great! Would love the Eastwood to do custom flares on my car
If I won the Eastwood welder from the video I would finally learn how to weld. I've been rather intimidated about getting into it even though it would be super handy for me. First project would be to either repair my rear quarter panels or possibly attempt a widebody starting with the rear end. (Don't worry, I'll make sure to butt weld if I do😉😂)
I want to start fabricating so having my own welder would help loads
Awesome video, if I had that welder I would fix the rust on the wheel wells of my Jetta project
I would finally be able to reassemble the rear end of my motorcycle that I inherited after my grandfather passed
Amazing craftsmanship. Coachworks unlimited 😊. You are going to want to get the inner wheel liners if you don't have them and modify to fit. Even if you only drive in the sun it will sandblast everything inside the quarter panel. Wiring, fixtures, paint, etc.
Great progress! Gonna look amazing!
Also, you broke the guard on the sword, not the pommel ;)
I'd definitely book myself in for a welding night class and teach myself to weld, I've never made the time to do so.
Outstanding content. It's interesting your welding strategy as it is contradictory to many others. If I was lucky enough to win that sweet TIG welder I'd first have to learn how to tig and then put it to use on my 67 Bump. Cheers
Build stuff :)
Well, if there was a chance to win a welder like this i would 100% start a widebody project on my old volvo :D Im sure it would be a pain in the ass especially that im in the process of learning tig. Great, great video! Looking to see more :)
I have a 1967 Volvo Amazon with the typical rust spots. I would use the welder to replace the rusted areas while adding about an inch to the width of the wheel arches for a subtle flare.
