New floorpan, get the rusty bits sorted,not so bad, I've seen a lot worse.It's a 64 912, a great looking car,and well worth fixing, so do it,and enjoy it!!
I’m really loving the prospect of following your journey with this car. The idea of finding a true classic with so much potential and investing mountains of TLC to restore it back to its former glory would give me a real buzz. As you say if it’s a long term keeper, it’s well worth spending the money at this end. I’m very envious and really look forward to seeing it’s progress. Good luck. I’m sure you will have a smile on your face ever time you get behind the wheel. 😁
Not that bad then for a 50 year car - actually surprised it doesn’t need more! With the paintwork tidied up & the interior ret trimmed this thing is going to be a beauty!
Great car in spite of the work required. Enjoy the process of getting it to whatever level of repair you choose. I certainly will follow your progress. Thanks for the update 👍
Go for the full resto! This car is really going to help you really know about cars, and also share it with everyone. I did this with a VW Beetle exactly 25 years ago (jeez that just made me feel really old....but I feel much younger than that!). I did all this myself. Now I have a great understanding of how cars work. Invaluable knowledge. Stick with it.
Great video 👍🏻. It’s a nice project to work on. Nothing too serious, although you wouldn’t want the floor to collapse at speed or over speed bumps. The front suspension rattled is consistent with the car being bumped up and down kerbs, wearing out bushes. It’s also made the shock absorber weep on that side.
Glad to see you’re not phased by the work, been there myself a few times, my current 76 BMW 2002 wasn’t too dissimilar, got it safe and running well, used it regularly over the last 5 years whilst doing bits and pieces, its worth it in the end.
cars are ultimately about passion. love of cars is what its all about. the 912 is an easy car to fall in love with and the colour of this one is beautiful too. you will feel good when its all done and you have this in your garage
F12, AMR, 912, defender are chaos... had a 1970 911T project 17 years ago and I was 18 at the time, same issues with the floor, shocks and oil was a California car and I live in California. Sold it 6 years ago and now it's 7x the price. Love your AMR, I drive a 2013 4.7 Vantage with a manual, trying to be like you TGE.. can't afford defenders but had 2 wranglers.
You pretty much described my experience with getting my Irish green 912. It looked great from 20 meters away! I get my 912 next week and can’t wait to see all the Gremlins lurking. I let my emotions take over and just bought it! Ugh, so dumb. Anyhow, c'est la vie. Keep the 912 content coming. signed....new subscriber.
Everything about that Porsche looks cash, the dash board (rev counter etc) looks so good.. the devil on my shoulder is turning my head for a classic Had to edit mate, I'm thinking Fred Flintstone if the floor gives in ?
Great to see such commitment to the car and the journey ahead to get it in a condition you want . Good to see you taking the condition and bad news in your stride. It's really interesting content, looking forward to more.
It's a full body restoration basically. Just take it to the metal, and back up again. Either you go all in or you get rid of it imo. This has the advantage of letting them rebuild the engine, which is probably a good idea. It won't be the end of the world for youif you're throwing around F12s and SVs, and at the end you'll end up with basically a new 912. You probably own watches worth as much as this will cost you. Go for it. You bought chaos after all, what's an old car without entropy? A New One! I don't think you'll make money but it will probably be worth what you have in it. Best of luck young chap.
i would say if may be safer while the car is off the road to do all the repairs and fixes as than you will not need to worry about the problems later on. Stuff like the bushing and suspension should just be full replaced to ensure longevity because no point in doing one side if the other might fail later on. Listen to what the mechanics tell you and than stack them in terms of importance and than figure out what you want to do.
Saving the 912 videos are great, seeing the process right from the start is really interesting from the viewpoint of a beginner much like myself and I’m sure many others.🚘🎥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliant series Tom. This is definitely a sound investment, everything you have mentioned is to have been expected and to be honest it could have been a lot worse. It should all be fixed properly, it is definitely worth it Tom. Looking forward to the videos of the progress. Great original content Sir. Peace and respect, Ben
TGE TV that is really nice! I really like this type of content. You taking the right road... first a “stage 0”... making it 100% save and reliable.. the best base for any upgrades... maybe Singer style??
Bag it and throw some fuchs wheels on it, give the interior a overhaul with tan leather with tartan inserts? That would be cash chaos & crisps all in one🤔
Really enjoying this journey with your 912, best get the Piloti's soles reinforced you might end up like Fred Flintstones car if the floor goes through. Yabba dabba doo chaos.
Definitely the coolest car you own and so so simple easy to work on. I all ways say the new car are nice and do exactly what they need to but a classics put the biggest smile on your face' there full of character.
Love this Tom. Just watched your video at Bramley and an SLS would be a great buy. I am keen to know what other ‘classics’ you would consider buying or are already on the shopping list for the future. You seem genuinely passionate about the 912, is it just this car or are you a classic fan in general??
I am loving the 912 content lad, it's good to see something take shape and go back to its former glory! I am excited to see more 😊 Epic work as always lad and I hope you are feeling okay too! ❤😊
Really like this classic car content Tom! Your car looks pretty decent for its age in my opinion! I currently have a 924 project car, my very first Porsche (dream came true for me owning a Porsche). Funny to see your car got pretty mutch the same rear suspension setup as mine, but mine still got the stock shock absorbers. Riding horribly at the moment, would love to have the rear a bit more stable.. Saw yours got some Koni's, I'm allso thinking about getting those. May I ask how the rear of your Porsche is feeling at the moment when hou are taking corners etc. Thanks and keep up the good content! :D
Only speaking of myself here. I would do a full restoration. Your car and your call. 912 is boss! How amazing would it be to have it all sorted with a period interior. Ok, now I want one lol
Yeah man full resto get it bang on !!! Investment probably not sure about these 912’s these but they look cool and look at how Porsche’s prices are going especially if you keep it original as possible 😁 Dunno how much you bought it for just have to weigh it all up ! Good video 👍🏼🇬🇧
Genuinely interesting content to a mechanical geek like me, more interesting in many ways to the more standard modern car modding fodder. Top trumps fella
I love the 911 especially the classic era models but i just cannot get exited about a 356 engined 912. It is a nice looking Porsche however. Wonder what sort of money it will make fully restored? Do we know what was paid for it?
Dont be so negative. You started with the expectation of the car needing say £10k spending on it and I've not yet heard you say that you've bust through £10k. Also you seem to be refining what you want the car to be which is only natural. It is a good looking car, stick with it!
It’s a 912 you can enjoy and not be to precious about. Far more enjoyable than a fully restored classic that you dare not use incase you devalue it or get it damaged.
It's mega lad, she needs a little love, that's all , she will be mega when done a proper head turner when your around London, makes a great change from the dotted line super cars .. well enjoyed this vlog.. keep this greatness coming .. I follow all you lads .. it's nice two see you out of your group of friends heading a slight different way .. mega lad ...
Welcome to vintage car ownership From experience I think it’s not that bad You need to expend your vocabulary I don’t see chaos On any old car first job renew Shocks & brake pads & callipers New gasket set will cure your oil leaks Great value me thinks from an air cooled German car of great repute. Let me know if you want to offload the pile Cheers 🌈✌🏼
What a car, looks a incredible place some amazing cars there. I don’t think you have, I love the car. It’s got a personality and I wonder what stories it can tell. I love learning about cars and engines. The car is chaos! One of my favourite.
Do it once, but do it right. Don't cut corners, even if the car ends up owing you twice what you paid. Will it really matter in the long run like you say. That car deserves to be nutured!
Great video, sad to see some of the work that was done, but with a little tinkering to make safe it will be fun to drive. They say the difference between Men and Boys is the size of their Toys so you have an new Toy. Cheers Mate
You need a good body shop to work on your car. Using a Porsche workshop to do any work is not financially feasible. Go where the cost of living is cheap and find a body shop. This car is very easy to restore. Seems like you have purchased a rust bucket
Chaos. How much do we think the bill will be 🤪

fix the pedal box ASAP, my dad had a classic beetle before i was born and the pedal box fell through while driving 🤪
TGE TV Easily 25k pounds unfortunately
New floorpan, get the rusty bits sorted,not so bad, I've seen a lot worse.It's a 64 912, a great looking car,and well worth fixing, so do it,and enjoy it!!
I loved this video! The content is getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
Yep, loving 912 content. Great to see more classics on youtube.
912 is still the best car in your garage
You should definitely do a full restoration be so interesting to watch instead of the same old vids of putting ppf on a brand new car
Love the car. This'll probably turn out to be the MOST fun and involving car you own! 🤗
So much more interesting than pulling bed sheets of shiny things up at Redline.

If you replace suspension parts on one side, you do the same on the other side.
Agreed, same principle with tyres and brakes
cars are ultimately about passion. love of cars is what its all about. the 912 is an easy car to fall in love with and the colour of this one is beautiful too. you will feel good when its all done and you have this in your garage
nice to see more "technical" video of your car, it changes and give fresh air to the chanel !
"I'm gonna keep it for as long as they allow petrol cars"
TGE video in 6 months: Why I had to sell my 912

Loving that 996 my clam! One of my dream cars as a young lad.
Loving the Porsche content, nicely does it. What about a BMW E9 next... absolute belter!?
Liam Wilson would be a great addition!
Everything about that Porsche looks cash, the dash board (rev counter etc) looks so good.. the devil on my shoulder is turning my head for a classic

Great to see such commitment to the car and the journey ahead to get it in a condition you want . Good to see you taking the condition and bad news in your stride. It's really interesting content, looking forward to more.
Give it a full restoration and document the process ! CZcams needs more classic 911 restorations.
I need to swap my hot wheels Porsche’s for the real thing 🙄
Irish green with gold badging, it’s beautiful Tom!!! Enjoyed the video

“5,10,15 grand” 🤣😂🤣 Good one! That is a full rotisserie job. $150K+ to do it right.
I vote for full restoration. Just think of the content you'll have with updates etc.!
These classic car videos are chaooss, much more interesting than the millions of new cars out every day keep it up TGE

I bought my 02 from Greece to avoid rust issues and the engine let go instead. Your 912 is still a cracking car and well worth the effort/expense.
Loving this! Such a cool car. Glad you’re documenting this.
please plate the rear 'PORSCHE' in gold, will look amazing
Nice video! I would love to see the 912 getting better piece by piece... not a total overhaul in one time
That’s what’ll happen! It’s getting made ‘safe’ & strong first - then the more sexy bits will be done
TGE TV that is really nice! I really like this type of content. You taking the right road... first a “stage 0”... making it 100% save and reliable.. the best base for any upgrades... maybe Singer style??
Good for you mate looking after a bit of motoring history
Bag it and throw some fuchs wheels on it, give the interior a overhaul with tan leather with tartan inserts? That would be cash chaos & crisps all in one🤔
Great series. And the car is not too bad
Really enjoying this journey with your 912, best get the Piloti's soles reinforced you might end up like Fred Flintstones car if the floor goes through. Yabba dabba doo chaos.
Great work fella, keeping the car alive is so cool. RESPECT.
Great content better than everyone else just showing new supercars.
Definitely the coolest car you own and so so simple easy to work on. I all ways say the new car are nice and do exactly what they need to but a classics put the biggest smile on your face' there full of character.
Decent that you actually have a fairy good understanding on the basic mechanics unlike Paul Wallace 😂
Intro music on this one is way better. goodwork lad!
It’s my favourite car in your garage. Looking forward to it’s journey and all the events you can take it to among the Classic Porsche community.
Love this Tom. Just watched your video at Bramley and an SLS would be a great buy.

Love this. Refreshing new direction for you, Tom 👍🏼
Its a old car ,all minor work , easy work .once its done ,its done . nice car
Love it! The old cars just have so much character. Can't wait to see more progress on the 912
It's really not that bad. These old cars need guys like you Tom, to give them some love!
Great attitude to the 912, glad you’re ahead with the work :-)

Wouldn’t know tbh haha. Took it very easy but koni meant to be good!
Vw heritage sell floor pans for the 912, complete ones and half floor pans. 👀
This is far more interesting than you hopping between a new Lambo or Aston every week. Mixing it up with interesting classics is good
I admire you honesty , well done and good luck on your project ..
That 996 Turbo shell has a story to tell 🤔
Only speaking of myself here. I would do a full restoration. Your car and your call.
912 is boss! How amazing would it be to have it all sorted with a period interior. Ok, now I want one lol
Clicked vid. Hesitated with the like button. Knowledge, insight, care and humour displayed like button swiftly pressed. #mynextphonesgonnabeahuwauwei
Yeah man full resto get it bang on !!!
Investment probably not sure about these 912’s these but they look cool and look at how Porsche’s prices are going especially if you keep it original as possible 😁
Dunno how much you bought it for just have to weigh it all up !
Good video 👍🏼🇬🇧
NICE, 912 AND 996 content in one vid 👍🏾
Love how you focus on the positives 😁 subscribed for more updates 👍
Genuinely interesting content to a mechanical geek like me, more interesting in many ways to the more standard modern car modding fodder. Top trumps fella
Yesss I like rust and the oily bits :) TGE learns to weld new series!
Was joking at first but would be different. Bet Shmee can't weld lol
I love the 911 especially the classic era models but i just cannot get exited about a 356 engined 912. It is a nice looking Porsche however. Wonder what sort of money it will make fully restored? Do we know what was paid for it?
Great content Tom - figured you went into this with your eyes wide open - will be great to monitor progress by the videos - looking forward to them !

Love this, informative, real content compelling, look forward to the journey, btw, you in Modena Tuesday for the superfast spyder launch ?
Ground up restoration required 👍👍
Welcome to vintage car ownership
From experience I think it’s not that bad
You need to expend your vocabulary
I don’t see chaos
On any old car first job renew Shocks & brake pads & callipers
New gasket set will cure your oil leaks
Great value me thinks from an air cooled German car of great repute.
Let me know if you want to offload the pile
Cheers 🌈✌🏼

Enjoying the 912 stuff , would like a little more 996 too 👍🏻
Looking forward to seeing the work on this .
This channel is going in a good direction👍
Do it once, but do it right. Don't cut corners, even if the car ends up owing you twice what you paid. Will it really matter in the long run like you say. That car deserves to be nutured!
Great stuff. Keep it up. Fantastic project.
It’s a journey mate.And a good one at that.Following with great interest 👍🏎💨
So respectful love it! And great cars
Loving this series Tom!
I'm on holiday in corfu I said I wouldn't touch my phone but when I saw I had a notification of TGE I had 2 watch it 🤣🤣🤣 smashing it Tom 👌👌
Agree with everyone saying do a full resto, wheeler dealer style!
This series is what I’m here for!!
Great video, sad to see some of the work that was done, but with a little tinkering to make safe it will be fun to drive. They say the difference between Men and Boys is the size of their Toys so you have an new Toy. Cheers Mate

Head North then 😂
Surely you change the shocks as a pair,regardles of how good the front right side is.
More classic cars, please.
Finally something interesting! Enough with flipping leasing ;D
A very cool and rare car - worth every penny. I would happily buy that from you whenever you decide to sell. Love the colour.
The fact that you can put the car up on a rack, and it didn't break in half, it's a positive, RIGHT???
😂😂😂
Prime paint and for amazing body repairs for Porsche.
Surprised you didn’t get a classic 911. Sure they aren’t cheap but their prices will only go one way and you’ll have a lot of fun
The MOT history of that car compares to Jack The Ripper’s rap sheet!
Loving the 912 content 👍🏻
Get the body solid looking fresh and go modern brakes suspension and engine etc
That car with all the work done could end up being your best car.......Its got Style :-)
I was waiting for this video to happen! It was imminent
