These cars need folks like you to bring them back. The engine starting up must have almost been as got as having a kid. Congrats.

They won't restore themselves! It was a great moment, no doubt

I like the factory rebuild! You had the option for power adders, but the improved stock aspect is what makes this car amazing! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 So sick!!

Well done for getting it over the line fella.

@michaelgideon6422 of course man I've been enjoying you documenting the journey.

Happy to see a new YT video instead of just insta :) P.S. not sure if you heard the news about Deus... they opened a new location near us on PCH in newport and are opening a 2nd location in LA with resturant (like the Deus Lodge in UK). Still down for a coffee if you ever are lmk.

You're awesome. This comment gave me a huge smile.

Man I’m so happy that you got it started- I was a bit concerned when your friend wasn’t standing guard at the engine bay when you cranked it over (the last thing you want is a fuel leak to ruin your day!) . The great thing about these cars is, it’s probably a simple fix.

Thumbs up

Great vid, great journey. Nice to a see this old PCar moving on its own. I enjoy this channel because of the shared experience of bringing back a couple of my own… both of which continue to deliver smiles, tears, cussing and memories only possible with years of tremendous spousal support

Nice! SWB 912’s are cool. Probably a small issue like a ground that came loose. Next step paint correction on the single stage paint?

haha I feel this comment. It's a roller coaster owning an old car. Thanks for being here for it

i loved my 912 back in the 70s but always fearful it would break down and bankrupt me like it did the previous owner but it never had a problem just rust in front pan to suspension but back then only 400 to fix

Electrical bug. Hope a simple check of fuses and connectors solves it.
