- Welcome back to my channel. Join me on this journey to restore the cheapest 928 in the country (UK) - and rightly so when you see the condition of her!
Last week I continued to undo all the bits and bobs in final preparation for the engine lift...
This week is the BIG week where the engine WILL COME OUT!!

Great tip on the brace 👌
Hi there! Thanks for documenting your work. Unfortunately it doesn't come down to the price of the engine mounts. You will need to purchase a lot of parts... a lot. I am refurbishing my GTS and I am already getting crazy with what I need to purchase to replace broken parts, which initially looked quite sound. Really hoping that you can find everything for affordable prices. Best wishes from Taiwan. Andreas
Hey Andreas - yes it’s ok. I only mentioned the engine mount costs as I had been looking at the recently. I’m expecting to spend £££ to get it all working again
Hi nice to see you giving the 928 the love it deserves. I recently purchased an 82 model 928s only a week ago tomorrow. I will be going through the same process as you. It’s good to see what challenges I may be facing. All in all I await every video that you post with anticipation. Thank you for sharing I’m in Australia
Thanks John. I hope these videos will prove to be useful - I am trying to show _everything_ as I think the interesting bits are often skipped over. Stay tuned and I would love to see some shots of your car!
best episode ever !
Yeah it was a great day... its fascinating seeing the engine suspended above the car. Its like a piece of art.
Nice to see Stewart lending a hand
Ah you know my trusty assistant? :)
@@MrToddgibbs indeed I do, via classic Car Curation
I believe Volvo engine mounts can be used which are much much less expensive than porsche ones, the porsche ones are oil filled not solid and hold the engine above the cross member when they fail the engine sits on the cross member and you get bad vibrations, fuel tank cradle will be shot fuel lines too, check the sills both sides and battery box as they do rust contrary to commonly believed misconception that they don't! Also mine has eaten three alternators in ten years French made part not German, but when all this has been done along with the cambelt a truly great car and incredibly reliable with annual maintenance , really interesting video keep up the good work
Ah nice tip. I’ll check that out :). To be honest my mounts look ok I think.....
Well done. Congratulations. Huge job ahead of you. It’s going to be real interesting. Thanks for taking us along. 👍
Thanks! Yes the interesting work starts now! Thanks for watching :)
That’s a big lump! Well done 👍
Thanks 👍
I've owned three 928s (I still have two of them), and I've never pulled an engine. I applaud your initiative, and I'm subscribed!
I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the world's best 928 DIY resource is the 928 area on Rennlist Forums: rennlist.com/forums/928-forum-69/
Good luck with your project!
Hey Shawn, you must love these cars!
Yes I am on Rennlist - it’s an amazing resource full of very knowledgeable and helpful guys.
Stay tuned for the journey!
It only starts Now 😎 my the force be with you. Very cool job Tod. Best of luck 👍
Thanks Pedro - I’m looking forwards to it!
Nice progress Todd! Looks like it's had a colour change at some point - Do you know what the factory colour was? (Guessing a dark one!)
Hey thanks! Yes, from what I can gather (from VIN & Porsche) it was Mocha Black, which is the very dark brown. In 2014 the DVLA show a colour change from white(?) to white... which seems weird.
@@MrToddgibbs That is a bit weird..... Are you considering a respray? Mocha is a great colour I reckon! :)
bloke if you weren't a mechanic before this, you will be for sure by the time this Porsche's finished
Hi Robert, lol yes, thats my feeling ... and Im definitely not a mechanic. I have very very little experience but Im certainly willing to try! Thanks for watching :)
@@MrToddgibbs I too had a "crash course" on mechanic work, my dad owned a 1964 Plymouth Fury that needed valve job. I was 17. He told me fix it and its yours. I did not know the first thing about turning a wrench... 2 months later it was finally driving, and it was quite a steep learning curve. It would have been a lot better if I'd had another car to drive in the meantime, which I'm sure you do especially when you own a Porsche - but if that had been so I might never have finished the Fury! Working on cars is something I did for the next 40 years finally making a living at it, some procedures are more fun than others and some are a real drag, but every one teaches you something.
@robert that is fantastic! Best way to learn to swim etc….. yes I have a few cars so there is no hurry with this baby :)
@@MrToddgibbs I see the way you lay out the old parts - I have pulled an engine or two and learned the hard way. I use zip lock bags, the more the better! And tuck a note inside telling me what it is from. By now you've learned you won't remember just by looking when assembly time comes - putting notes in the bag and even photos kept and that's how fasteners go back smoothly and no other way
