Did you leave your white Beetle parked across your neighbour's driveway last night ?

Some amazing cars in here. I'm guessing the first speedster is plastic?

Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
This is probably the best 'documentry' type vid I've seen. It's beautifully shot and edited. This resto must have taken twice as long due to having to set the camera up for each stage : )
More importantly for this forum, it's also such a great blueprint for any restoration ... of anything; skilled, methodical, ingenious, patient.
I just love everything about it. Quite obviously so do a lot of other people - 15.5 million views in just over a month. Amazing. The funny thing is, after all that work, taking it out for it's inaugural ride in the snow : )
Watch it! Then watch it again : )

Saw that a few weeks ago, absolutely brilliant, what an outcome too.
Wonder if he can fix my Honda?

agree with your opinion on the P4 but an early T 70 in Team Surtees colours runs it a very close second
IMHO
cheers

Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
[quote="3ftDeep"]Thank you for sharing that. Anyone wish to guess how many hours that took?

Re: non Porsche vid of the day!
More than 2 hours is my guess
Joking aside, I bet making / editing the video took many hours too. I also like the fact that there's no annoying background music to mute.
I love the fact that he even restored the old nuts.
I'd be interested if anyone can explain any of the chemical processes he used. I'm guessing the bit with the battery was galvanising?
He mentions this:
Flushing the gas tank; - wonder what the acetone did?
Bluing;
Galvanized;
Copper plating;
Removing rust by electrolysis;
and more
