Everything wrong with my cheap Porsche 964

Took me a while to sort things out with storage and how I will proceed with this project but I've got it pretty well handled for the moment and in this video I'll show you all the flaws and parts that need work on my 964. There is some rust, crusty seals and tons of small things that need to adressed.

I was sold at "bought this car for myself, not to make a buck on it"...that is always the right reason to buy a car.

I’d love to find a cheap one in my hometown. I don’t care about having a perfect one just one I can enjoy driving. Your car looks amazing!

Thanks man, it's not perfect but there is great potential! I was really lucky getting this one, I hope you'll find something as well!

Had a similar acquisition and did the distributors, plugs, wires, and valve adjust and new aluminum billet valve covers with three overhauled injectors. Knocked out 90% percent of the and runs much better. Yes that was fun while in the car, but a Quick-Jack helped alot.. She is back on the perch (QJ) now awaiting a new flexible hydraulic hose for the clutch, but the other lasted 31 years, so can't complain. Requiring a lot of love now, but my gosh what a solid car that Porsche built...

Don’t forget the 30yo fuel lines too. Car fire is one of my fears so that was on the top of my list. I agree after buying my Quick Jack doing work is so much easier

It’s interesting that the title says it came from Germany because it was most likely first sold in Japan or the UK. Nice find and welcome to the 964 owners community.

Interesting and well presented. Will gladly follow. Previous owner of a 993 and now Carrera T. The 993 had 150.000 km and low in maintenance and repairs. These are solid cars.

I think it would be nice if you build a kind of Magnus Walker style Porsche. The patina tells a story.

Good Luck. I have 964 C4 92. Lots of upgrade options on these car with regards to exhaust, suspension etc. If that is all that is wrong with it you found a bargain.

If I may add one thing as a fellow owner. First mods should be a fire extinguisher. And definitely look into your fuel lines they are in the engine bay a a few just under the intake manifold. A lot of people over look this or wait until they need to do the engine. Which sometimes can be too late after the engine catches fire. I had to have my engine resealed when I first bought mine which turned into a full build so it was on the list. Food for thought.

Good luck with the work. I got a 964 last year at a good price as well and have been working on it over winter. Condition was not as bad as yours (I paid more as well). The engine mounts need to be replaced as well from seeing the video. Also replace the transmission mount. Both are very easy to do and will change the feel of the car dramatically. Good luck!

I think an old 964 with a sound body and missing parts would be a good project to modify how you won't

*I always wanted a 964 (or any air cooled 911 really) but the only 911 I could afford to buy was a 996. I figured that Porsche will have tried hard to make them drive every bit as well as any air cooled 911's and I wasn't wrong. I think even their looks have got better with age and owning any 911 is better than not owning one! I look forward to seeing what you do with this. Will you keep it as 4 wheel drive or convert to 2 wheel?*

@TheRacerjim77 2 жыл бұрын

I have a long term keeper 964 but the 996 is awesome! ive had a few and would have another in a heart beat. Your right about the looks as well, the early fried eggs look awesome to me now yet i hated them a few years ago

These look like Cup II wheels, which were original to the 993. The 964 had Cup I wheels, which have flatter spokes and were all 16" in the normally aspirated cars (turbos had 17"). Good luck with the restore. Looking forward to more videos.

@LXGspec 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome thanks for letting me know! Are they worth restoring at all or are they not very desirable to begin with?

@maxagent86 2 жыл бұрын

@@LXGspec They are very valuable if restored to the original condition. You could easily sell them for good money. The same applies to Cup I's. Cheers from the States,
