If you haven't seen the other videos on this Pastel Yellow 996, this is a car I bought that was supposed to be a turn-key car that just received an engine out service. After some quick inspection I pulled the engine and transmission back out to sort all of this cars issues, and uncover even ore in the process. This video is the culmination of the last year's worth of work. Finally, I can enjoy the time and money spent on this car. We even take it for a quick spin!
You can find the first 5 videos here: • The 996 That Wasn't so...
Will there be more videos on this car? Absolutely! However, bow that the majority of mechanical work is complete, the "to do" list includes mainly cosmetic and aesthetic repairs which I'll cover when time permits.
The big question here...
Did I learn a lesson? No. Used cars come with inherent risk. Used European sports cars come with a greater risk AND the fact that this car had been "repaired" carried the largest risk factor. I did however learn quite a bit about these particular cars and now they seem incredibly simple.
I'll probably do it again. Lets hope I can finish some more projects before that happens.
As always, I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
