Not the easiest of spark plug access for sure. 👍

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I will do my best to get all the videos edited and published sooner than later. It’s a monster of a project, I’ll spend more time on the videos than I did on the car. Both are fun.

Thanks for watching all the way in Brazil 🇧🇷 , much appreciated. Fiat did a much better job with the Argo for sure.

Looks like they learned some lessons from the old Multipla of what no to do. Lol 😂

I’m a gen-x kid, at the time the Countach was the car for me as well.

Good point indeed, what doesn't show up in the video is all the dust that accumulated over the winter in my garage and I didn't want to put the cover away dirty so I decided to hose down the cover and to my surprise the water beat off it like it was ceramic coated. The unwrapping in the spring is always fun to see the summer car emerge from it's winter slumber. It's cold way too long in Canada.

@@hinemnsprojects9202 that was the only acceptable answer! 😘

Hey, I'm looking at my oil filter wrench and it does not have a size on it but as far as I can remember the oil filter size is 74.4 mm and is 14 point in 3/8' drive. I opted for an aftermarket filter wrench from Amazon I believe because I don't do that many oil changes and didn't see the point if purchasing and expensive wrench. That said, do get the proper wrench and don't rely on any other filter thing to get the housing off.

You are correct, this thing was way ahead of its time and still looks sleek and sexy

Sadly I don't know too much if anything about this story and even worse I'm getting my facts from Ford vs Ferrari. How true to the facts is the movie?

@@hinemnsprojects9202 not very, but it is really good at giving the general idea as to what happened. If you wanna see something more accurate, Grand Tour season 1 episode 6 is more accurate. Its on prime

Your accord is a piece of shit!

So does the Ferrari 296, big difference from that and an Accord though

The Ford GT is definitely a cool car however I feel that Ford using their EcoBoost name on this car a bit strange. Not sure I'd compare your Honda V6 to this Exotic but Honda did put that V6 in their first generation Acura or Honda NSX depending which country you're in.

Even the new Ford Mustang's V6 has more power then the older V8s but for some reason most if not all V6s just doesn't get the acceptance it should. The one thing the Honda V6s is going for them is their reliability compared to any other car out there witch are not nearly as much fun to drive as the Ford GT or Ferrari 296.

You mean it’s a 1980?

Most if not all cars of that era had poor fit, finish, and made of cheap materials but that’s what was cutting edge at the time. Even Ferrari and Porsche don’t look so good compared to today’s cars. When you do build your Bricklinesque car, make sure you post the progress on YT.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it. This clip is still working perfectly fine after all these years of service, kinda impressive I think.

​@@hinemnsprojects9202agreed sir

Yea that's it, one must be "SICK" in the head to be buying a non running Porsche Boxster in the middle of a Canadian winter.........

That was just an old 1/4 panel I saw at somebody’s old shop they closing. The 914 in my other I ended up selling as it was too far gone.

I did take the exhaust off, however there must be a way to take them off without taking off the exhaust

These old cars had the rust come right from the factory, good thing they don't make em like they used to. Event though the car could have been restored I however don't like throwing good money after bad and I don't have the time to sink in a car that in the end is not worth that much money. I passed the torch and now somebody else gets the joy of restoring this 914.

It sure was an awesome find, a barn find find right in the city, who would have known? I will put the whole process on KZfaq at some future point. Somebody else will have to save this poor neglected thing as I had to bail out of the project.

Most cars of that era had the free rust option come right from the factory, thank goodness they don't build them like they used to. LOL

Thanks for your vote of confidence, I will do my best to get those videos out there in the hopes it will help others or at least entertain.

Sadly I decided to sell it earlier, I still have sellers remorse.

It was bad but not as bad as one that’s gone through a few Canadian winters, still too much rust for me at this stage in my life.

Keep it slide if you can, make sure you put the journey on KZfaq for all of us to see

@@hinemnsprojects9202 That is the plan but I might have to sell the car because I cannot keep it where it is right now.

Thanks for pointing it out, I’ve since replaced that bolt. Weird how it got missing. Thanks for watching, I hope the video helped.

Hey, the E9 is now gone, thanks for checking in.

Am still intrested if you connect me with the buyer

Fiat multipla ! Lol that’s old and ugly, was ugly brand new

@@bricemazz I'm baffled the this thing made it through numerous stages of designs and many people agreed to manufacture it. This is what happens when non car people design cars

@@hinemnsprojects9202 agreed, in France we had the ugly Citroen C5 first generation. they pay millions dollars to make something ugly that barely anybody likes and buy

Thanks Simon, I’m working on getting the rest of the videos edited and out there, however finding the free time to do so is not easy for me but I will get them done so stay tuned to the Boxster Rabbit Hole.

Sorry but the car is gone, it was in pretty bad shape

Sorry but the car is now gone to a new home, someone with much deeper pockets than me to get it back on the road.

It does not run, it’s been sitting way too long. I’m selling that interior and probably part out the rest or sell the whole car. It’s on Kijij.ca here in Toronto Canada

I’m glad you like the project, I have the next video in progress and will hopefully post it soon, depending on how much spare time I’ll have coming up soon. Hang tight, I’ll get the videos of the Porsche Project out.

Took me some time to make the right decision for me whether to fix it or not and you’re correct it would be a high price…more than it’s worth. I have a saying…Don’t throw good money after bad. I’ll make more videos of the car at some point. Thanks for watching.

Good eye, the reason for that is that even though the car is rusted, it rusted different than from driving and road salt so the doors open and close well and the roof still fits perfect. That said it’s still very very rusted.

You guessed correctly Jim it’s a 73 2.0 with only 20888 Miles on it, didn’t think it would be a collectors item. You wouldn’t know it looking at it.

Funny story about the FI, my dad back in the day worked for Bosch in Germany and was the the team that developed the FI for the 914.

A stiff and rotten corpse at that, however with copious amounts of $$$$$$ any car can be brought back to life…..

Ha ha too funny. Sometimes the over engineering is good and sometimes it’s sh#^. 😝

I’m glad to hear you’re using the new plastic rams and not the old metal ramps. I hope the video helped you out a little. It’s much easier than we think and way way way cheaper than at Porsche. 😝

Hey thanks Carlos, there are many many more videos coming in this Boxster project hopefully sooner than later. Thanks for your support.

Hey Diavi, I would very much recommend the 09-12 (897.2)Boxster as your first Porsche. First off the car is super fun to drive and and second it’s the first year they went away with the IMS bearing on the engine. This makes the car so more desirable than the previous years. Porsches in general will hold their value much better than BMWs. I’d also recommend a well maintained 05-08 (987) Boxster but if you have the $$ 13-16 Boxster 981 is so much more modern and refined. In my humble opinion all these Boxsters will not only hold their value better than any other German car but also increase in value. Just think about it, what other mid engine roadster can you buy for no that much money? Porsches are well build cars and generally very reliable, nothing beats a mid engine car and the sound of the engine and exhaust note are intoxicating, I can’t get enough of it.
