Can Our Super Cheap Porsche Go back on the Road?

Thanks to Holzkern for sponsoring this video! Head to www.holzkern.com/carthrottle and use our code carthrottle15 to get 15% off your purchase store-wide for that special someone this Valentine's Day.
This week, Jack, Ethan and Edwin find out if our super cheap Porsche can finally go on the road, or if it has more project car problems. We'll button up all the last restoration pieces, before taking it for a UK inspection (MOT). Then, we'll take it for its first drive in over 25 years to see if all the effort was worth it.
Huge shoutout to Kyle for always being around to help out. If you need any classic car work, he is your man;

Best of luck to Edwin...been such a great on-screen addition the last year or so. Have loved this series!
Don’t leave us Edwin!?!
Oh man so sad to see Edwin go. You three had the best chemistry. I hope maybe Kyle(Carl? Sorry English isn't my first language) gets a bit more screen time then. Bloke seems to know everything about cars.

I absolutely love the Edwins dedication to nice wheels and cleaning. Two of the most important things to make a regular car look properly nice.
Can't believe Edwin is leaving, that's heartbreaking. The chemistry between you three over this Porsche build has been Top Gear-levels of funny and heartwarming. Glad the car turned out so well but man, end of an era. Best of luck big guy. ;_;7
Will miss Edwin, his knowledge is amazing.

After watching the end it definitely feels like the end of an era. Edwin has been absolutely amazing since he came into the fold and he'll definitely be missed. All the best Edwin and lads, keep smashing it 👍
This Porsche build is awesome, an absolute money pit but at least you have fun along the way whilst working on it. There is nothing better than working on cars with your friends.

its just a slightly amplified version of what its like working on older cars, love it. I had a 1970 450hp Ford XW wagon for years, and even the smallest things took SO long to fix.... discover how it was supposed to work, the design, the problem, the spare parts/modding them to fit etc. A balance of being enjoyable and traumatic, but still cant look back on it as anything but enjoyable in retrospect!!
Thanks Edwin for everything youve done for the channel. You will be missed
I love the quotes from movies : Jack :'' He is too dangerous to be kept alive'' (SW Revenge of the Sith), and Edwin ''Don't call me Shirley'' from the Naked Gun :)

Indeed. It's not intended as a criticism of the other lads but Edwin is a massive loss to CT.
14:56 "Why does this car do this". Well Jack, it's probably pissed off because it was saved from the scrapyard when it didn't want to be saved. Oh, and Edwin! Sorry to see you leave CT as well. All the best for whatever comes next.
Bust of luck to Edwin.

Goodbye Edwin, you've been brilliant throughout these videos! Excited to see what comes next for you, and thank you for your constant entertainment and knowledge!!
We’ll all really miss you Edwin. U were such a good presenter for these videos, CT won’t be the same without.
Can't wait to have another decent car youtuber to follow - all the best Edwin, you've got what it takes and I think it was a good decision. It'll be tough initially, but I'm sure you'll get plenty of help to get going
Edwin provided the perfect balance on this show. Whoever is ‘calling the shots’ at Car Throttle needs to have a look at themselves. The actual comedic balance of these three put them in the original Top Gear category. I can’t see how this channel will survive with the departure of Edwin.
Piece of resistance, proper Del Boy moment there 🤣
The very last thing said in this video was said as if they all knew they were leaving CT soon, and they did. I've not been watching CT for long but you guys are great together, looking forward to seeing more of you elsewhere on here, cheers, lads!
7:15 ah yes a truly exquisite reference

I just have to say, this is my most favourite CT series you have done. This was truly awesome, really enjoyable, and I wanted to send my thanks and congratulations! Make Carl a part time host
One of the best series you've done on CT
Nah I'm actually sad Edwin is leaving he was a massive upgrade over Alex when he left. There's a good likeable chemistry between the 3 like the Top Gear trio, Hopefully they return in some way or another maybe on a new channel.
Great series guys ...really enjoyed it ... well done ...

Hi guys, I don't normally do comments but just had to say what a great watch this series has been, its really put a smile on my face watching you all put so much into the car to make it live again, and those wheels 👌 love the car throttle channel and looking forward to the next project!
I hope Ethan and Jack gets to co-star on Edwins new ventures! Best of luck!! 🙌
Sad to see Edwin leaving :(. He was a wonderful addition to the channel, great humor, knowledgeable and humble! Wishing him all the best in his future endeavors and to you guys as well, looking forward to what's next!
I really enjoy Edwin and his immediate insights and knowledge, genuinely gutted he’s on to different things
Best of luck Edwin, the chemistry you 3 had was really good. Be interesting to see if Carl is more on camera to keep it as a three. So glad to see the progress of the Porsche, and love to see Ethan have confidence and get involved since the engine swap.
Edwin, really sorry to see you go. Your enthusiasm and humour will take you far. Hope to see you again on KZread soon.
One of my favourite series of all time on KZread. Never stop doing these kinds of builds 💪
Big love Edwin❤
Well done to all of you. Car looks great. From how you bought it back from the edge of its life to running. Think you all need to go travelling in it round Scotland and take tents or the Focus and the other car you used for camping and then take turns driving each car. Its amazing 👏
Great content, thanks! Around 24:00 the engine detonates, knocking. I would suggest to check ignition timing!
7:58 Ethan is turning the screw the wrong way HAHA
You guys brought back so many memories from saving my 924s. Nothing but pure happiness taking off for the first successful ride. Just wish mine turned out that good, finding affordable parts in the US is hard to do.
I love these restoration vids keep them up
Thanks Kyle, for saving the day, every day. Also, Jack, Ethan and Edwin are having such good chemistry together, makes for great entertainment.

It's amazing, your MOT process. Here in the US, there are some real dodgy cars that, without a doubt, would send your MOT man screaming! Some of your 's#it boxes', would be considered fairly straight here.😅
I think the Roadkill guys would be proud of what you pulled off.
I really wanna see this Porsche with a full respray. I really want to see more of the Porsche 944! Great work chaps 👌🏻❤️
I very much enjoyed this build series - just pure awesomness!
Hope Edwin gets to keep the car as a farewell gift. Really enjoyed the series, good luck in the future all of you.
Lol that exhaust is spotless
This has been my favourite project on youtube by far, super relatable and what a great car!
just failed my driving test and this has cheered me right up! thanks for the awesome content, kind of makes me feel better that moss has failed just as spectacularly as me.
Firstly, this was a great series. Loved it every bit of the way. Moss was really frustrating but glad that it gets a new lease of life. Sad to see Edwin go though. Really loved him on here. Best of luck Edwin 👍
Please dont stop with this car!!! Finish fixing it then take it on a roadtrip with the focus
Thoroughly enjoyed this resto. CT making brilliant videos 👏
I was hoping more would go wrong with it so you guys keep at it, loved this series
It’s amazing to see how far this car has come so far. Great job, lads!
Well done, boys! I'm looking forward to what comes next. And Edwin, don't take too long to get back on the Tube, sir! I'm waiting...
Would love to see more of this "restoration", I don't expect a full restore, but seeing it really cleaned up would be amazing.
This has been a great series! Well done!

It’s a porsche designed in gemang, so designed right had drive. Probably the reason the rear window is for the passenger.
This is my absolute favourite series.
Really enjoyed this series 👌, and ethan looking enthusiastic about working on a car is the biggest transformation 😂
Edwin is like the glue I didn't know Jack and Ethan were missing. I've really enjoyed everything he's been featured in and im worried his departure will upset the balance. I just hope he makes his own channel and continues what he started - best of luck my guy.
Can't believe it drives and passed MOT inspection. Hats off to you lot, and best wishes to Edwin and the future endeavours.
I can genuinely see that being someone's pride and joy. What a great story!
so glad to see this pass its MOT. yoou all have done so much work to get there well done
Stupendous confectionery 😅 made me chuckle
What a great little series that was, great work
The ending glamor shots, with those new wheels, look awesome. Great story of saving an old Porsche.
My dad had a 924 in the late 80s. He described his ownership experience as being similar to yours. Broken often, and once it was fixed it was only a matter of time until something else went wrong. It spent 1 of the 2 years he owned it in the garage/shop
I am fully invested in this build, I don't care how long it takes but I'd love to see it in restored condition, heck even a restomod wouldn't be something I'd have an issue with. I love to see it guys! :)
5:15 nice Leslie Nielsen reference there
Honestly that's grown on me that, I love the patina you should keep it that way 😅 And that supercharger has just been a complete game changer. I love it, well done lads that's been one hell of a project and a good bit of fun 👍
The smiles on all your faces said everything when driving this car Maybe a wrap next ????
Thanks for the video and Stay safe ✌️.
If you only knew the value I give this car you would flip out , it brings back such visceral graphic images and memories I am in shock practically, to you guys its just content but to some its a chunk of heaven , where my soul longs to hang out in.
Please finish this car, the restoration of this car up to yet has been awesome!!
I love that it sounds like a bad steering pump!
I have an 86 scirocco. One of the first things you change are all the rubber bushings and hoses. Will save alot of trouble in the end
Very happy to see you almost back on the road but can you please start doing something about the bodywork and rust.
Cant wait to see moss completed and with a lovely Dark green mossy paint job to commemorate where it was! :D
Brilliant!!! Great to see the old girl a wee pinch away from the open roads. Probably for reliability disassembling the K-jetronic and going through the fuel system will help make it run better but otherwise, YIPPIE!!!!!!
so happy for you guys that ending was pure kid joy
Kyle what a legend and wow his knowledge.
That pesky number plate light even a fail in N.S.W but so much work you did and eating biscuits and doing electrical work this Porche keeps on giving
Nice to see Ethan recommending troubleshooting.
Great stuff guys!
I am genuinely impressed lads its been a fun journey
I can feel the stress already, all over again. At least this time I'm expecting it 😂
good job guys to give Kyle credits 👍
This deserves wven more love. Get the bodywork sorted boys......please no diy!!!
Great video guys!!
This got me to smile! Love this! I have some of the worst Month of my life , And this got me to smile, FOR REAL! Love you guys! miss Alex, but still love you all!
Epic stuff lads. Good to see another one saved
The best trio on a Friday !
