Last year's Youtube series about a home built car restoration of my 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 brought together in one film.

I never fantasize about being a singer or actor ..... I dream of having the kind of talent this guy has and the ability to restore a 911 regardless what it needs. Dang that dude is crazy talented!!!!

This is the kind of love that a classic Porsche needs. Unfortunately most owners don't have those greasy fingers. Nice!

Such an incredible job, so much hard work but a dedication to perfection, I am in awe of your skills and you truly deserve every minute of driving pleasure that car owes you

I sometimes think I’ve wasted a lifetime watching YouTube, but this video just made up for all the losses. Absolutely breathtaking workmanship, shown in stunning detail with the most appropriately exhilarating music. A lifetime of skill spent on the most worthy of projects and what a result.

As a partner in a Porsche restoration shop, I wanted to congratulate you for your dedication to doing thie work correctly. It is rare here in the states to see this level of corrosion in a G-body 911, but almost routine in the pre-galvanized cars. You have made great improvements in this Carrera and the pride of accomplishment must be the greatest reward. Congratulations.

You are the best, you bring honor to not only Porsche but Alfa as well and in doing so you bring life again to beautiful cars that where condemned to become a CUBE... Keep the faith dear greasy fingers ...

this long video is a treat to watch!

While the car in question happens to be a Porsche, I feel this is an essential series for anyone considering starting a restoration project. The technical work is first rate but just as importantly, the ethos of why the work needs to be done and why the unstinting level of detail that permeates the series is critical. Call it a examination and evaluation of values. Don't cut corners here or in your real life. Fantastic presentation!

Huge amount of work, but well worth it! Great to have it all in one video.

Great summary. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Though your comfort zone is magnitudes larger than mine, your detailed episodes give me confidence to perform some of these restorations on my ‘87, when necessary. Thanks for taking the time to fully document and explain your videos.

I just want to say this is the best restoration video I've seen by far and I've seen many of them! Dedication, attention to details, everything is perfectly done. Old Porsches are the best. Outstanding job, Greasy Fingers. Music is nice as well. Enjoy your ride, you deserve it!

You have filled me with motivation! I have to do a similar restoration on my Supra. Been with me for three years at this point, I was on fence about doing it myself and taking it to a shop. Boy watching you care for your car is just breathtaking. Hope you stay well and never have to sell the beauty. Cheers!

Thank you Sir for your dedication and time to document your fantastic work and share with us. You are such an inspiration. Obviously not everyone is lucky enough to own a classic Porsche but even with a lesser car it is worthy to put in the time whenever you are fixing something and FIX IT RIGHT. IMHO... you blew way past the "fix it right" level, you let your obsession turn your work into mechanical art. Best of luck to you!

That's not fixing or restoring, that's art ♥️ thanks for these awesome insights

Greasy, I think you are an inspiration for all of us...you not only show us your expertise and patience, but also motivate us to (try to) reach the same level of perfection...I learned of all your videos that patience outweighs the quick fix...
