Rebuilding a Salvage Porsche 911 Crazy Cheap using OEM Parts!

1. U can definitely talk and talk.

2. Should’ve hit the bolt with the hammer an loosened it first before breaking it….

3. Impressive build for using all OEM parts, these things are hard to come by. We only got about 50-100 Porsche parts on our yard with over 100k parts. Really impressive, and great channel.

4. Welding, BE CAUTIOUS, the cars ECU (computer) is easily damaged by the voltage output of a welder. Two options, you can buy a voltage damper which connects to the battery terminals, or the less expensive way, disconnect the battery then touch the terminals together, This action “earths” any leftover power stored in the ECU and prevents damage to the delicate electronic brain of the car. You have been warned. Great work Sam. I’ve recently discovered you and love your videos.

5. I used to work at a plant that manufactured parts for AC Delco. I also was given the daily task of using a drill press to removed the AC Delco logo from the same part….which were presumably sent to another company

6. that mask makes welding impossible not to mention the actual welder.

7. "Luke, I am a cheap ass!" Lol, funniest thing you've ever said in one of your videos.

8. I have found that sometimes FCP has the incorrect part number for the specific vehicle…

9. Must b nice I can't even pic up a new car that's not wrecked

10. When welding on a car you should put the ground lead as close to the weld as practical. You don't want the current running through the car any longer distance then you need to due to electronics. Just a heads up.

11. I hope you do a final hand tightening to all those nuts bolts and screws were you use the electric tool for! You cannot rely on any of them to apply an even or reasonably accurate torque.

12. Sounds like a chop shop the place he gets his stuff

13. He is very clever and he rebuilds cars. Ha ha ha.

14. Ha haha… Most idiot ever

15. Hello Sam, I am wondering how well a 911 Porsche. keeps its value? I think you could make a living doing this.

16. why dont you post more

17. Budget tool store = Harbor Freight?

18. I wonder if he recharged the A/C by the recommended replacement of the condenser? I don't really know but that's what they say. Can affect cooling efficiency and cost. I would have worked around the removal of the condenser.

19. bro they are bolts not screws.

20. As a welder I am deeply offended. LOL JK

21. im trying to fix up my 1966 ford fairlane. but i just dont have enough money/skill

22. Those impact screw drivers were a life saver when I was in the Air Force. When you’re disassembling old equipment there’s always a few screws that refuse to budge with a normal screw driver.

23. Great channel.

24. You should number your videos

25. With the police tape and nature of the damage to the car I'd love to know it's story. I'm thinking the belly damage was caused by a collision with the ground at the end of a police chase.

26. Hey Sam could you please post your free discount code for skillshare.com

27. It is just a impact screw releaser.

28. when i have stuck bolts I use penetrating oil and tap on it with a hammer for 40 seconds which induces vibrations enabling the penetrating oil to break up the rust. it works really well.

29. For the love of god, cut the bullshit talking by half and actually do something!

30. A friend 'evacuated' the AC system. Sure, blame the friend….

31. You badly need to get yourself a lift. They're not expensive.

32. 2 nut method with a spanner and a hammer

33. Make sure to disconnect batteries before welding. Sometimes they can mess with the cars electrical system.

34. Point to note, if you have a particularly stubborn screw, add counter clockwise force to the screw and then hit it, this tensions the spring inside a little bit and then transmits that force to the screw.

35. 3 ton jack from Harbor Freight, I would recommend better tools my friend. My grandfather who was an expert mechanic lived to be 80 years old and swore by Craftsman tools, guaranteed for life.

36. I feel misled by the title. Should read: 'Fitting a radiator to a salvage 911 + bonus stuck screw footage' , which would be more fitting.

37. Why put brake calipers on Instagram? Just show them

38. the knuckles are aluminium, right? corrosion…

39. probably not the best design…about the radiators. What about the engine in the wrong place or it looking like a squashed beetle?

40. Clearly the previous owner ran over a parking block at high speed and it scrapped the bottom of the car.

41. Its painful to watch a mechanic, who couldnt hold/use his tools correctly
    Its a good effort, but arent everybody sopposed to do what theyre good at?!
    No, i am not one of them, who clicked on the "thumb-down" button – if i dont like a certain video, i dont watch it …this one just left me questioning

42. heat from a torch and penetrating fluid for removing stuck bolts.

43. Did I miss the floor pan repair ?

44. Why paint stripper? You can apply new paint on them without. Just brush them a little bit

45. Shit

46. Here is a tip for Sam….. To loosen the bolt in the spindle….. I learned this about 30 sum years ago when calipers were not cheap and affordable and people bought used ones instead. While selling these used we had a soooooooooooooooooper high rate of return from idiots who would break of the bleeder screws by yanking on a wrench or worse yet hitting a wrench with a hammer. Constant pressure not yanking has better results but here is the tip… WITHOUT even using heat we would put a wrench on the offended stuck bleeder screw, bolt, etc…. with even pressure on the wrench take an air chisel with a blunt round tip and hold it against the side of the part with the frozen up /rusted threads and letter' rip. The bolt or bleeder will walk right out every time and I mean EVERY time……unless some ignoramus had already beat on it and started to crack it……………..try it next time…. It will 100% work if you're handy. Sometimes it helps to have a friend, one to run the air hammer, one to hold the wrench and out direct pressure on it. In this case welding a nut would have given you something to turn………..the air hammer would simply save you the headache of what it will now take as you have already busted it off

47. Why would anyone think you staged pulling the screws out of the rotors? AHAHAHAHA I mean seriously YOU USED an IMPACT driver and that is the result one expects pretty much 9999 out of a thousand times.

48. IMHO It didn't make much sense to replace the condensers unless there was apparent damage to either unit. The fact that the system had been EVACUATED by his friend means they were still sealed…. replacing with new OEM would seem to be cost prohibitive on a whim and aftermarket parts pretty much suck in comparison so basically the system was downgraded with aftermarket new OR Sam had money to burn on OEM, lol. Still love what you do!

49. You're going to want to clean the radiators annually. I do mine every fall. Lots of leaves, bugs, litter gets into them. I have the center radiator as well, so have to clear all out. Takes an hour but good easy job. A lot of 996 and 986 owners do this.

50. K&n intake kit will only run 300$ on eBay used it a few bucks more new and gain 23hp and a much better sound. Let’s the engine breath so much better. Those engines love air
