I BOUGHT A WRECKED PORSCHE GT4 THAT SHOULDN’T BE REPAIRED

This time I have set out to push myself to the absolute limit and do more than we have ever tackled on this channel before. Which is exactly what this #porsche #cayman #gt4 is going to do in this #rebuild series.

This is by far the most extreme damage I have ever tackled and to make matters worse on the most expensive car I have ever bought too!

But hopefully the risk is worth the reward at the end.

This is going to be a good one!!! You should decorate the unit's walls with the perished bonnets of cars you have done.

I’m coming to steal your spoiler end caps btw

I own one of these gt4’s. So the suspention is all OEM from the looks of it not aftermarket. And the front suspention is from the gt3 NOT 718! The rear suspention was all worked specifically for the 981 GT4. Good luck on the build!

I looked at bidding on that car to transplant the guts into my cayman Arthur Tussik has some good front end replacement videos which are definitely worth watching. I have changed the front tub on a 981 but as you say, i think you are looking at going back to the bulk head. I do have a long LH chassis leg, a new lower repair panel but the back lower section of the tub looks knackered. Also got a couple of pairs of GT4 lights as

Good old Copart, listing it as a runner, suspension in a different postcode to car and additional damage due to the yardies!

Thanks! This looks like quite a build! Back when most 911s had motors in the back, I spent quite a bit of time disassembling ones that all seemed like they had backed off a guardrail.

You know what Chris, hats off to you, you're really pushing yourself and growing, not just a few more headaches boyo 😜

PorschAs are riveted and glued as Mat Armstrong would confirm. You will have to replace the whole TUB… Arthur in his channel showed how to replace the tub for a 991, which is fairly the same. Most cost effective thing to do is to buy a salvaged tub, no need for a pull machine… you cannot pull aluminium as the rivets would lose strength. Beautiful and worthy project… not financially viable, but I think youtube viewership will pay the bill.

Hi Chris, awesome build mate! Excited to see this unfold! Also let us know if you’re after some aftermarket Suspension and braking parts, we can certainly sort you a deal. We can supply Suspension Secrets, KW, EBC etc!

Found your channel a while ago and I'm really enjoying these videos. Its just like Mat's videos and that's nothing but a good thing. And about the exhaust for this car, definitely a JCR exhaust.

[gavstenhouse]

Cracking project definitely needs a JCR exhaust for plenty noise

To make things easier for yourself put all nuts and bolts on an idiot board with a decent description as to where they came from in the order you strip the vehicle. And write down part numbers as you take each damaged part off. also pin boards are great for visualizing where you are up to when re building the car. It also gives you a bit of satisfaction when u complete a section. I tend to find it inspires me to keep going n get more done when you see the board getting less full

Nice one! Cool car, looking forward to the end result! also... who's the blonde woman @ 19:25 ;)

Chris - instead of painting the Aston Martin you rebuilt many moons ago in Gulf Livery, you buy a severely damaged Porsche GT4 in Gulf Livery.
That only leaves you with the option, once you've fully repaired the car, as to where your next road trip destinaion is.
Good Luck with the build and the sourcing of parts. 👍👍

JCR EXHAUST !! Sounds unreal he has been on Archie Hamiltons channel. Good luck Chris this 1 is gonna be a challenge but will be worth it. Love the content keep it going.

[bertramheugh]

I am starting to love this channel more and more with each episode

[Birk_Haus]

I’ve got one and they are pretty good on track but need semi slicks.

Engine mounts are prone to breaking as well

I have some de-cat headers if interested

Nice car, so hopefully viable and you have any easy ride, with a relatively straightforward repair. I know the sound of the car is a part of its character, but how about valves to vary the sound of the exhaust?

You have to keep this one along with the merc gt. The number plate is awesome fully legal but still spells the colour of the car and that blue is amazing. Keep up the hard work bro
