I left my Porsche outside for winter and I learned an $8,000 lesson.
A Unique Project: Transforming a Car Interior
As we sat down to discuss our latest project, it became clear that this was going to be an interesting and unique ride. The goal was to transform the interior of a car from its original state into something entirely new and exciting. Our trusty sidekick, John, had brought along some crucial parts and materials, including Porsche leather, which he claimed had a very funny smell, reminiscent of a Porsche.
Upon closer inspection, we discovered that someone had chewed up the seat, leaving behind a trail of destruction. "This is ridiculous," I exclaimed, trying to contain my surprise. John chuckled and showed us a picture of the damage, which was quite extensive. "Looks like little mice teeth," he said with a grin.
As we continued to explore the car's interior, our attention turned to the door panels. John had already ripped them apart, revealing the skeleton beneath. He revealed his plan to cover them in elk skin (or "elant Tera") and some Plymouth leather (PL). I must admit, I was skeptical at first, but John assured me that it would look great. We discussed the pros and cons of each option, with John firmly opposed to plaid, citing its association with cheap, mass-produced materials.
However, we eventually decided to take a different approach. Instead, we opted for a bold, blue stitch pattern, reminiscent of the exterior design. This added a pop of color and created a unique visual effect. To complete the look, we added a touch of Alcantara on the sides, which gave the interior a sleek, modern feel.
The real pièce de résistance was the headliner, which John had designed to match my scarf (which he claimed I "lied" about liking). The result was a beautiful, plaid pattern with a subtle Alcantara accent. We were both thrilled with the final result and couldn't wait to see it in action.
Now that we've completed our unique interior project, it's time to discuss some business ventures. John had been raving about ShipStation, an e-commerce platform that allows users to automate shipping tasks and compare quotes from various carriers. He shared his promo code, which would grant us a free 60-day trial, and explained how this tool could help us grow our online presence.
As we wrapped up our discussion, I couldn't help but notice the unusual speaker on my desk. John had brought it along, claiming it was a great way to stay entertained during long hours of work. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that it was actually an adult video website's website – complete with animated content.
In the end, we decided to put our differences aside and check out John's completed project. As we pulled up the car, we were greeted by its unique interior design. The Porsche leather and Alcantara accents added a touch of sophistication, while the blue stitching created a bold, eye-catching effect. It was clear that John had outdone himself with this one.
The final touches included some subtle plaid patterns and a square perforation on the dashboard – courtesy of Alcantara. We were both thrilled with the result and couldn't wait to show it off to our friends and family. As we drove away, I turned to John and said, "You know, you're officially my go-to guy for interior design projects." He grinned, knowing that he had once again exceeded expectations.
The project may have been unconventional, but one thing was certain: with John's expertise and my... um, enthusiasm, we made a winning team. And as we drove off into the sunset, I couldn't help but wonder what our next project would be.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys Richwood Rich re builds here and really really quick let me just take you on a trip down memory lane my very first sporty car was a Neon SRT4 and it was blue my next actual real sports car was a C6 ZO6 which was blue now my real real sports car I got a couple years ago for my birthday was a 911 Turbo S and guess what color it was you'll see there's a theme here all my favorite cars are either blue or gray and believe it or not the 9911 is a super reliable car and it replaced the I8 as my daily driver and I already put over 10,000 miles on it by the way the I8 is for sale email man rs.com anyways also the only car that I have that has a warranty that's right the 911 turbos s has a warranty and the only catch is you have to take it to Porsche for its $400 oil changes and keep up with maintenance easy stuff like $2,000 Tire Replacements and if you need new brake pads just the pads are $2,000 BR everything else is $22,000 on this car including the front lip that I cracked which is actually $22,900 boohoo my Porsche is expensive wow but this is more of a PSA for you if you all were to get a used 911 Turbo S but since I got the rivan again which is also gray I haven't really had the time to drive the Porsche and while I live in the Northeast and Winters are brutal well sure enough winter came and I started driving the rivan instead of the Porsche because it's such a great truck and I let the Porsche kind of sit there neglected outside in the cold and snow which is fine because it's just a car right the 911 is the Every Man's daily car and an alternative to supercars you can drive it every day and leave it outside or so I thought but Rich why didn't you just park the damn car inside well fun fact I have a car in there already and this car is arguably more important than I 11 turbos s the Corvette C4 yes the project C4 is indoors and again Rich why didn't you just put the C4 outside and the 911 turbos s inside well how do I put this I don't want anyone to know that I own a C4 so one day I was greeted to every error message known to man and also a seat that didn't work thankfully the car is under warranty however remember what Porche said all maintenance has to be done in order for the warranty to be valid so I'd have to get new tires and the oil change as they suggested little did I know this wasn't a warranty claim a colony of mice that have Exquisite taste managed to eat the wiring in the Porsche the sherp nah the farm truck nah the model X I don't know why I still have it but no Rivia no they didn't want to eat that they wanted to eat the Porsche leather seats Porsche wiring and leather just taste better I guess well the Porsche was there disabled and my loving Offspring decided to also open the door on the body line of the Porsche but wait it gets better they also ate the wiring under the seats they ate the seats themselves anyways can it get worse not not only did the mice eat the wies under the hood as the temperature dropped they migrated to inside the car for warmth in the form of leaving their feces everywhere why must they do this to the one material thing I love most besides the ZO6 which is also blue but the Betrayal From Mice for my own son and none of this is my fault because this is the c4's Fault Rich we want you to finish the C4 so I garaged it and whenever I would walk by I would see it saying to myself yes we should get on that but not anymore the C4 is no more and if you want the C4 the email address is man rich bills.com now the C4 is a liability and if we want to build one later we can but for now this one is done if you want to see a video on a non-working C4 just go to Sam's channel it's easy almost as easy Mak weite with Squarespace it's easy to claim a domain or URL like www.

scared Rich that's when the that's when the car goes as a big fat for a sale sign on it right St back on uh they're stuck yeah that's what I'm saying bolt back on him and give it a tapy tap oh yeah give it a lot of tap this is scary I too am scared pucker factor of 11 now not yeah of course not just a little one easy easy nice the um galvanic corrosion from the steel hob and the aluminum wheel you can literally see the rust pattern right what's this oh never mind I thought those was the cords coming out I was like that's worse than I thought you know what's funny not a single Speck ofing slick I know right I know not an ounce of brake dust on these wheels not a speck of brake dust because it's all highend stuff yeah never I've never i' I've the last time I washed this car maybe a month ago not a spec of break dust yeah that's impressive very impressive you also have to use the brakes in order to get brake dust and that's true I just I just use the accelerator one pedal driving isn't that nerve-wracking all the cracks in it yeah that kind of scares me yeah apparently it's normal it is it is I I I freaking hate taking the wheels off on these cuz all you got to do is just whack it in the car and it just the whole thing cracks yeah I know the thing is see all the cracks yep when you do that you can't tell what's normal it's waiting to crack right now it's like I think I'll crack tomorrow tell the pad it's not bad I have some decent pad left this is one of those situations where if you had to replace it I feel like you downgrade instantaneously people actually well you know what people do when they get the carbon Ceramics they sell them and they go to Steel cuz like the steel ones are better for track carbon Ceramics are just I they look cool and they and they stop on a dime they'll put your head through the windshield but other than that that's really it while you guys were gone there's been a lot of changes to the Nal right here those are now clear the car has been lowered an inch and a half front and rear I also added the GT3 side skirts and wheel spacers look at that rear end look right here look at that look at that nice look at that doesn't that fit in so she sits lower the wheels are flush now and it has the side skirts so this is a really good start what's not a good start is this dep right here we have to get that fixed is that why you gave Henry a frozen bag a piece this is where the problem lied these are where the mice live the mice live underneath the earbox and what they would do at night is they would crawl into the interior because it was warm and they would chew all the wiring underneath the seats and also chew the leather under the seats as well I mean if you can't get meat you know no they lit eating leather is the do they eat meat I think they are they omnivores I don't know that'd be kind of actually no there's FES the rats bite flesh anything would eat could except vegans but they would too they're just pretending right they're just lying about it's like that they used to they used to eat meat it's like that vegan dog two bowls here right one is full of vegetables and one is full of meat stor obviously going to go obviously are you little yes I didn't SAR there is it was one morning I decided to start the car at least it tried to start it took like six or seven cranks that actually go over which is bizarre for these they usually kick off right away uh immediately I got an ACC light Pas light the brake light no power steering and no headlights work okay maybe it's the battery pick up the tray test the battery nothing um I didn't have my code scanner with me unfortunately so I said you know what the car is under warranty so it should probably just qu to Porsche because this is the first car that I've had it's under warranty which is amazing it's pretty exciting feeling isn't it pretty exciting feeling so sent the car to Porsche uh they got back to me and they said you know what uh they're tracing some wiring harness issues which is not very common for these cars and um they ended up taking the front bumper off uh the air cabin cleaner off and they found a giant Rat's Nest under it there there's all kinds of down there I know they started eating all the wires under here near the battery and then they crawled in the interior started chewing up the leather on the seats and also the airbag wiring in the center dashboard I feel bad I feel like an idiot because I used to always pride myself in saying Hey look it's just a regular car you can park it outside right no no no no no no no no you could but you could there's there's reasons people don't so this is what uh Porsche of Burlington treated me with these are the chewed wires oh they even labeled the bag it's like when you get your uh your confiscation thing prison much or when you have to pee in a cup they also label as well this is only a small fraction of what was chewed up but look at this those little they chewed that uh this wire was completely chewed they have to cut that out they said they didn't want to save all of it cuz there's no real point and don't forget this I just wanted to give you proof that connector was chewed as well so I was treated by that but the car is on the warranty so it's fine right sure unfortunately the car was not unfortunately this this did not cover it so if you look here you know um there's uh read out the faults rod in damage front C repl several connectors repaired and rep Place nine wires cam bus ACC P high beams brake fluid warning four-wheel drive warnings are no longer present no big deal right that's that's not something that I really wanted to imagine thinking oh it's under warranty it's fine it was in fact not fine that was the first page okay oh it's not over yet the second page not bad 800 bucks right next page an additional $1,500 at the last page yeah 1619 uh$ 749 uh 1527 uh and then 2036 so do the math that was kind of a lot of money uh for a car that I assume was under warranty you know what was under warranty this hose right here cracked for the windshield washer nozzles that was for free oh wow I think I have that that's at least a 48 Cent this is really good nice wash fluids leaking winds screw to washer holes removed and reinstalled no charge who's that it's PDR guy so this is the dent that uh this this lovely man is going to fix for us today hopefully he was one of the few people that weren't scared to tackle this everyone's like meow meow meow Porsche meow meow meow Porsche meow meow it's at the seam I can't do it meow meow you think you can do it spicy Volkswagen the spicy Volkswagen it's like a Volkswagen Beetle yeah pretty much what's the process to to actually fix this uh biggest thing is just getting a tool behind the dent to slowly massage it out I've been able to work on a couple of these in the past okay to get in this area take out the rear tail light and there's an opening here that we'll be able to slide a a real thin tool down in get on the body line bring it back where it needs to be okay all right I'd love to see it okay so we really thought this would be a lot easier we didn't realize that this is somewhat of a fixed panel so when we open this there's no way for him to get the tool down and go all the way this way so what we have to do now is put the wing in service mode the wing goes up about two or three inches higher I can get access to take these off on both sides and then remove that rear fixed Wing before the um the manual Wing goes up so service mode it is to get access to that after you do service mode we have to take about 37 things in the in the rare of it to uh make it make sense but again thank you Porsche all right we got this Tada that was stressful yeah fine I just throw that old Wing anywhere no one cares about that I'm assuming this is just a clip on this is a clip on thing I think the next step is removing the entire engine cuz Porsches I don't know why they do this you're right you're going to grab the engine just yeah the ho out yeah put that's funny this is got to go somewhere right I mean you you work on Audi you know the deal you know how terrible this is I used to have an RS7 used to have an RS7 oh yeah and it was just man I got rid of it before things started getting real hairy you know what I mean I completely understand how do you like your S3 it's it gives me fits yeah I've got a love haate relationship with it Audi Tings it needs a heater core currently so I can't I can't wait to pull the dash oh that's a dashboard job oh no my friend how many what how much does that job with the dealership oh I don't even know 1,500 easily yeah no yeah so do yeah do it yourself so you don't have heat what you're saying I have very weak nice warm breath a heat or core what year is that 16 Jesus Christ out of the fan yeah trying to be gentle for the camera no no it's all right for the camera no I could just see the Porsche people in the comments right now how dare you why don't you have white gloves on and I think have to I think everything has to come up pretty much just seems kind of chintzy doesn't it it's like it just kind of a little bit this reminds me of like a PC fan EXA exactly I think on every other car that I've owned popping out a tail light I I have a Hellcat taking out the tail light and the Hellcat 19 seconds probably you peel the thing out you undo a few knobs done yeah and it's a three-piece thing too this is like yeah I think these from here I think it's these two these two and I think this has to I think so look at him hey look 220 my favorite part about this is that we decided to do it in a hot engine this is mix it makes it that much more fun you making this look easy dude getting there now I know what to do when I uh when I get those clear tail lights which I probably won't get okay no pressure yeah right is the channel the same does it actually go through that's kind of neat you nailed it we're just using this light to give me a good reflection of where the tip of my tool is inside the panel so I can accurately push and bring this body line back to where it needs to be now this is useful uh applications and other things right could be okay pushing your to well you just did the Leo DiCaprio pushing your tool in what what' you say what happened yeah it's only only for girls 25 and under wait not too far under but from 25 to 18 the DiCaprio right yeah you know when a woman's like pregnant and there's like a belly a baby in her belly and you feel the belly like make all those movements and stuff is it kind of like that it's exactly like that you know I've been having a hard time with the Porsche and the whole Mouse thing uh Mike you remember Mike Mike and Megan uh they found out about the hard time that I was having and they decided to make something for me watch this we didn't record the process of your baby Porsche but here's a few videos and pictures from Mike's first project first carve the wax model second cast the model in investment third burn out the wax model fourth pour in the molten precious metal and fifth days and days of polishing what are you doing in there right here look at this a gold 911 Turbo and they even made it with the wheels that I look at that thing it's it's real that's amazing isn't that crazy this is absolutely incredible I feel like they're it's going to get stolen at some point well that's why he put this on here you know it's not just a toe bar it's also so you can secure it around your neck or something exactly actually I'd Rock would I rock this that's not really my style no but you'll enjoy it forever this is really really cool super you should uh you should do the uh typical oh the bite thing yeah people bite gold why are we buying this I don't know I mean do their teeth know if it's oh maybe if it's soft gold well 24 carat is you know the higher carrot comp maybe maybe if it if you bite into it like mozzarella cheese yeah know it's real it's like it is real gold but it's not or it's cheese or cheese win what about fool's gold pyate chees oo o sucks why do we here's a dumb question why do we put such value on gold it can be used for a ton of different reasons manufacturing you know processes a lot of things that we use today use gold gold and have gold in them like gold foil whether for heat sinks and electronics or even for various uh high strength and long-term use tools but like why do we put a value on it well everything has a value is that true it's a precious it's considered a precious metal so therefore you know the Rarity and scarcity create hyper value why do we have in value why do we have it on our but there's no real well nothing nothing really matters if you think about this right so like gold yeah it's cool it's scarce but let's just say we take away currency Al together and it's just people you know what I mean in their most natural the most natural form and we have to use like some kind of barter system for like trading things like services like let's just say he's doing this right now in the car right Y and we're not exchanging money because I'm not paying him so what what does gold matter in that case okay it's just us right we're in the woods we're in the woods okay in the woods with men and women loin cloths mostly women yes and loin cloths it's leaves it's us and them there banana leaves right or coconuts for what is no coconuts not not in my world what's the value of gold then you get what I'm saying like like in that situation the value would be placed on I guess sticks and who's the strongest one that could fight and like fight off animals like wolves and things like that yeah survival the fittest in our day-to-day they use like what value does gold have like for us I know there's gold and iPhones and stuff like that but why do we have to why is it important you're you're not 50 yet so you don't care about gold yeah I guess you're right yeah you know the way Boomers care about the old look my gold bars start changing from from having like a a watch that's silver and one then you get gold you know like God watches they put on the hamburger meat they do the thing if there's anyone I don't think anyone under the age of 50 yeah anyone wearing a gold watch if you're watching this right now um and you're wearing a gold watch and you're below 50 take it off take it off go it right in the trash what we watch shaving people for well no I'm not watch shaming it's just it's more of like a style choice you could have a silver watch you could have a brushed aluminium watch but if that's what people somebody prefers you have a rubber band watch but it doesn't look good I can kind of see where it's going yeah we're doing oh it's right there yeah we're doing that currently it's just um it's a very slow you got to be real slow those are probably the mice all the dead mice yeah working through just piles of mice poop drinking it getting there so at what point does he buy a new car uh last week you're just essentially massaging this yep yeah small pushes at a time all the infomercials and stuff you see on TV if people popping yeah well that works on plastic bumpers right when you the hot water on the plastic bumper that's the only only place that that works pretty much anywhere else you're you're you're fooling no one yeah well you're fooling a lot of people unfortunately yeah that's the problem that's the real sad part isn't it people are are young and impressionable and and they they see a thing and they think that that's that's going to be the end all be all well it works on Tik Tok so right well we're definitely not trusting Tik Tok and that's why we have you cuz apprciate it on a on a vehicle like this I don't think a Tik Tok trend is going to you know what is nice to watch on Tik Tok oh sh he's he's tapping he's tap tap tap it in oh there see it oh yeah there's a kick it's a it's a boy it's is it I hope so Tik Tok said it's satisfying like the landscapers with the weed whacking yes yeah I know I'm looking at that right now you are cool all right that's see we're getting there we still got a little bit more finished work but the majority of what is left is actual the missing paint so I'm going to clean up that very center section and then smooth out the clear coat and we should be in good shape but that was an extremely tough well right on the body line I like seeing people look that's that's amazing I know well I was saying to him earlier like if you if you looked at it from here you can't even see the de you could see it beforehand head on when you looked at it from the side profile I I didn't think it was going to be I honestly not is not here I didn't think it was going to I'm right behind oh I had zero zero Faith zero confidence in a person from the internet on on Instagram of all things man we'll drop in your touchup and your once your touch-up paints it cuz like now the only indentation there is from the paint that's actually removed that is crazy I thought it was all Voodoo I thought it was like you know chiropractors W stupid let's let's not compare let's not compare this I'm Lim one two better not Sue hey it worked everyone paying for a chiropractor service right now and they it's it's not real it's just not real go to yoga take off your gold watch do do yog take your gold yoga stretch I don't think any characters chiropractors are actually watching this either because they're busy scamming people so they're not going to it doesn't matter anyways how much closer can we get to these uncomfortable you think wow this is amazing you know you're doing amazing work right now I appreciate that all right Rich you did an awesome job what's up man hey I just wanted to you know give you the slip we can kind of settle up oh yeah yeah yeah yeah no problem so dude I'm just really again I just think about modern technology sometimes well we should probably pay and um just the what you're able to do with just really basic tools are just it's this this amazing we should pay him like two like metal rods he just puts it in there and he does a shimmy thing and it's all set are you trying to justify that that's so easy free this is John John is ready to do stuff he's got his apron you want to play a game why is that leather we're here at uh our dear friend John shop Elite autop Sports and uh we ran into some issues with the Porsche we found out later on that they started eating the bom of the seats too so the seats didn't move back and forth and they actually started chewing up some of the leather in the seats too they're hungry John is actually going to repair the seat for us take a look might as well this is how you repair seats right rats really like Porsches I guess it's kind of like pit bull's like Teslas showed the pit bull biting and tearing her vehicle while she and her dog were in it no the dog attacking

ridiculous look look at little mice teeth I'm going to keep this so Porsche leather pora has a very funny smell to it it smells like a Porsche they all smell like that how do you replace these exactly oh that's a big one look this wow it's serious yeah looks nice so there you go there's Porsche leather oh wow this smell like it it does yeah goe come yeah this came from Germany yeah so is the entire seat like this or um I got a little ideas I want to switch it up a little bit for you show us joh this is one of your door panels I already ripped apart okay so I was thinking of uh maybe doing you know some elant Tera and some PL okay what do you think uh I think this is a good idea it looks good everything here looks good okay it's no plaid you don't like plaid no no you told me you like my scarf earlier I I I I lied plaid is like it reminds me of a Volkswagen GTI you know I mean it's like a Porsche still the same family Porsche Volkswagen same thing yeah but like it makes it look kind of cheap so like no plaid no pla just make it like just elephant ha this looks really cool though so was your idea to have the door cards aren't bad I still don't want plaid in here but the seats are a big note if the seats are just if you could do the OEM leather that was on the seats that'd be cool cuz the might shw that up just a regular straight can me ask something yes we've done a couple

all excited to see what it looks like yeah let's go check it out I'm going let the work speak for itself dude quick so you get better view at it oh all right I decided to go with uh with some plaid we change the stitching to blue because of the exterior of the of the uh of the car there's a blue Stitch In The Plaid make it look nice you know we're still in the same family we're still in the Volkswagen group so this I thought fit really good in here a little bit of a Alcantara on the sides so now if we pull it Forward I also do the uh back seats oh back seats look awesome I love it then we do the headliner as well matches my scarf a little little bit of plaid here a little bit more Alcantara so yeah so everybody uses regular round perf I decided to go with a square perf cuz Alcantara actually makes a square perf those little squares and the plaid I'm just going to leave this right here and um you officially dathey guys Richwood Rich re builds here and really really quick let me just take you on a trip down memory lane my very first sporty car was a Neon SRT4 and it was blue my next actual real sports car was a C6 ZO6 which was blue now my real real sports car I got a couple years ago for my birthday was a 911 Turbo S and guess what color it was you'll see there's a theme here all my favorite cars are either blue or gray and believe it or not the 9911 is a super reliable car and it replaced the I8 as my daily driver and I already put over 10,000 miles on it by the way the I8 is for sale email man rs.com anyways also the only car that I have that has a warranty that's right the 911 turbos s has a warranty and the only catch is you have to take it to Porsche for its $400 oil changes and keep up with maintenance easy stuff like $2,000 Tire Replacements and if you need new brake pads just the pads are $2,000 BR everything else is $22,000 on this car including the front lip that I cracked which is actually $22,900 boohoo my Porsche is expensive wow but this is more of a PSA for you if you all were to get a used 911 Turbo S but since I got the rivan again which is also gray I haven't really had the time to drive the Porsche and while I live in the Northeast and Winters are brutal well sure enough winter came and I started driving the rivan instead of the Porsche because it's such a great truck and I let the Porsche kind of sit there neglected outside in the cold and snow which is fine because it's just a car right the 911 is the Every Man's daily car and an alternative to supercars you can drive it every day and leave it outside or so I thought but Rich why didn't you just park the damn car inside well fun fact I have a car in there already and this car is arguably more important than I 11 turbos s the Corvette C4 yes the project C4 is indoors and again Rich why didn't you just put the C4 outside and the 911 turbos s inside well how do I put this I don't want anyone to know that I own a C4 so one day I was greeted to every error message known to man and also a seat that didn't work thankfully the car is under warranty however remember what Porche said all maintenance has to be done in order for the warranty to be valid so I'd have to get new tires and the oil change as they suggested little did I know this wasn't a warranty claim a colony of mice that have Exquisite taste managed to eat the wiring in the Porsche the sherp nah the farm truck nah the model X I don't know why I still have it but no Rivia no they didn't want to eat that they wanted to eat the Porsche leather seats Porsche wiring and leather just taste better I guess well the Porsche was there disabled and my loving Offspring decided to also open the door on the body line of the Porsche but wait it gets better they also ate the wiring under the seats they ate the seats themselves anyways can it get worse not not only did the mice eat the wies under the hood as the temperature dropped they migrated to inside the car for warmth in the form of leaving their feces everywhere why must they do this to the one material thing I love most besides the ZO6 which is also blue but the Betrayal From Mice for my own son and none of this is my fault because this is the c4's Fault Rich we want you to finish the C4 so I garaged it and whenever I would walk by I would see it saying to myself yes we should get on that but not anymore the C4 is no more and if you want the C4 the email address is man rich bills.com now the C4 is a liability and if we want to build one later we can but for now this one is done if you want to see a video on a non-working C4

scared Rich that's when the that's when the car goes as a big fat for a sale sign on it right St back on uh they're stuck yeah that's what I'm saying bolt back on him and give it a tapy tap oh yeah give it a lot of tap this is scary I too am scared pucker factor of 11 now not yeah of course not just a little one easy easy nice the um galvanic corrosion from the steel hob and the aluminum wheel you can literally see the rust pattern right what's this oh never mind I thought those was the cords coming out I was like that's worse than I thought you know what's funny not a single Speck ofing slick I know right I know not an ounce of brake dust on these wheels not a speck of brake dust because it's all highend stuff yeah never I've never i' I've the last time I washed this car maybe a month ago not a spec of break dust yeah that's impressive very impressive you also have to use the brakes in order to get brake dust and that's true I just I just use the accelerator one pedal driving isn't that nerve-wracking all the cracks in it yeah that kind of scares me yeah apparently it's normal it is it is I I I freaking hate taking the wheels off on these cuz all you got to do is just whack it in the car and it just the whole thing cracks yeah I know the thing is see all the cracks yep when you do that you can't tell what's normal it's waiting to crack right now it's like I think I'll crack tomorrow tell the pad it's not bad I have some decent pad left this is one of those situations where if you had to replace it I feel like you downgrade instantaneously people actually well you know what people do when they get the carbon Ceramics they sell them and they go to Steel cuz like the steel ones are better for track carbon Ceramics are just I they look cool and they and they stop on a dime they'll put your head through the windshield but other than that that's really it while you guys were gone there's been a lot of changes to the Nal right here those are now clear the car has been lowered an inch and a half front and rear I also added the GT3 side skirts and wheel spacers look at that rear end look right here look at that look at that nice look at that doesn't that fit in so she sits lower the wheels are flush now and it has the side skirts so this is a really good start what's not a good start is this dep right here we have to get that fixed is that why you gave Henry a frozen bag a piece this is where the problem lied these are where the mice live the mice live underneath the earbox and what they would do at night is they would crawl into the interior because it was warm and they would chew all the wiring underneath the seats and also chew the leather under the seats as well I mean if you can't get meat you know no they lit eating leather is the do they eat meat I think they are they omnivores I don't know that'd be kind of actually no there's FES the rats bite flesh anything would eat could except vegans but they would too they're just pretending right they're just lying about it's like that they used to they used to eat meat it's like that vegan dog two bowls here right one is full of vegetables and one is full of meat stor obviously going to go obviously are you little yes I didn't SAR there is it was one morning I decided to start the car at least it tried to start it took like six or seven cranks that actually go over which is bizarre for these they usually kick off right away uh immediately I got an ACC light Pas light the brake light no power steering and no headlights work okay maybe it's the battery pick up the tray test the battery nothing um I didn't have my code scanner with me unfortunately so I said you know what the car is under warranty so it should probably just qu to Porsche because this is the first car that I've had it's under warranty which is amazing it's pretty exciting feeling isn't it pretty exciting feeling so sent the car to Porsche uh they got back to me and they said you know what uh they're tracing some wiring harness issues which is not very common for these cars and um they ended up taking the front bumper off uh the air cabin cleaner off and they found a giant Rat's Nest under it there there's all kinds of down there I know they started eating all the wires under here near the battery and then they crawled in the interior started chewing up the leather on the seats and also the airbag wiring in the center dashboard I feel bad I feel like an idiot because I used to always pride myself in saying Hey look it's just a regular car you can park it outside right no no no no no no no no you could but you could there's there's reasons people don't so this is what uh Porsche of Burlington treated me with these are the chewed wires oh they even labeled the bag it's like when you get your uh your confiscation thing prison much or when you have to pee in a cup they also label as well this is only a small fraction of what was chewed up but look at this those little they chewed that uh this wire was completely chewed they have to cut that out they said they didn't want to save all of it cuz there's no real point and don't forget this I just wanted to give you proof that connector was chewed as well so I was treated by that but the car is on the warranty so it's fine right sure unfortunately the car was not unfortunately this this did not cover it so if you look here you know um there's uh read out the faults rod in damage front C repl several connectors repaired and rep Place nine wires cam bus ACC P high beams brake fluid warning four-wheel drive warnings are no longer present no big deal right that's that's not something that I really wanted to imagine thinking oh it's under warranty it's fine it was in fact not fine that was the first page okay oh it's not over yet the second page not bad 800 bucks right next page an additional $1,500 at the last page yeah 1619 uh$ 749 uh 1527 uh and then 2036 so do the math that was kind of a lot of money uh for a car that I assume was under warranty you know what was under warranty this hose right here cracked for the windshield washer nozzles that was for free oh wow I think I have that that's at least a 48 Cent this is really good nice wash fluids leaking winds screw to washer holes removed and reinstalled no charge who's that it's PDR guy so this is the dent that uh this this lovely man is going to fix for us today hopefully he was one of the few people that weren't scared to tackle this everyone's like meow meow meow Porsche meow meow meow Porsche meow meow it's at the seam I can't do it meow meow you think you can do it spicy Volkswagen the spicy Volkswagen it's like a Volkswagen Beetle yeah pretty much what's the process to to actually fix this uh biggest thing is just getting a tool behind the dent to slowly massage it out I've been able to work on a couple of these in the past okay to get in this area take out the rear tail light and there's an opening here that we'll be able to slide a a real thin tool down in get on the body line bring it back where it needs to be okay all right I'd love to see it okay so we really thought this would be a lot easier we didn't realize that this is somewhat of a fixed panel so when we open this there's no way for him to get the tool down and go all the way this way so what we have to do now is put the wing in service mode the wing goes up about two or three inches higher I can get access to take these off on both sides and then remove that rear fixed Wing before the um the manual Wing goes up so service mode it is to get access to that after you do service mode we have to take about 37 things in the in the rare of it to uh make it make sense but again thank you Porsche all right we got this Tada that was stressful yeah fine I just throw that old Wing anywhere no one cares about that I'm assuming this is just a clip on this is a clip on thing I think the next step is removing the entire engine cuz Porsches I don't know why they do this you're right you're going to grab the engine just yeah the ho out yeah put that's funny this is got to go somewhere right I mean you you work on Audi you know the deal you know how terrible this is I used to have an RS7 used to have an RS7 oh yeah and it was just man I got rid of it before things started getting real hairy you know what I mean I completely understand how do you like your S3 it's it gives me fits yeah I've got a love haate relationship with it Audi Tings it needs a heater core currently so I can't I can't wait to pull the dash oh that's a dashboard job oh no my friend how many what how much does that job with the dealership oh I don't even know 1,500 easily yeah no yeah so do yeah do it yourself so you don't have heat what you're saying I have very weak nice warm breath a heat or core what year is that 16 Jesus Christ out of the fan yeah trying to be gentle for the camera no no it's all right for the camera no I could just see the Porsche people in the comments right now how dare you why don't you have white gloves on and I think have to I think everything has to come up pretty much just seems kind of chintzy doesn't it it's like it just kind of a little bit this reminds me of like a PC fan EXA exactly I think on every other car that I've owned popping out a tail light I I have a Hellcat taking out the tail light and the Hellcat 19 seconds probably you peel the thing out you undo a few knobs done yeah and it's a three-piece thing too this is like yeah I think these from here I think it's these two these two and I think this has to I think so look at him hey look 220 my favorite part about this is that we decided to do it in a hot engine this is mix it makes it that much more fun you making this look easy dude getting there now I know what to do when I uh when I get those clear tail lights which I probably won't get okay no pressure yeah right is the channel the same does it actually go through that's kind of neat you nailed it we're just using this light to give me a good reflection of where the tip of my tool is inside the panel so I can accurately push and bring this body line back to where it needs to be now this is useful uh applications and other things right could be okay pushing your to well you just did the Leo DiCaprio pushing your tool in what what' you say what happened yeah it's only only for girls 25 and under wait not too far under but from 25 to 18 the DiCaprio right yeah you know when a woman's like pregnant and there's like a belly a baby in her belly and you feel the belly like make all those movements and stuff is it kind of like that it's exactly like that you know I've been having a hard time with the Porsche and the whole Mouse thing uh Mike you remember Mike Mike and Megan uh they found out about the hard time that I was having and they decided to make something for me watch this we didn't record the process of your baby Porsche but here's a few videos and pictures from Mike's first project first carve the wax model second cast the model in investment third burn out the wax model fourth pour in the molten precious metal and fifth days and days of polishing what are you doing in there right here look at this a gold 911 Turbo and they even made it with the wheels that I look at that thing it's it's real that's amazing isn't that crazy this is absolutely incredible I feel like they're it's going to get stolen at some point well that's why he put this on here you know it's not just a toe bar it's also so you can secure it around your neck or something exactly actually I'd Rock would I rock this that's not really my style no but you'll enjoy it forever this is really really cool super you should uh you should do the uh typical oh the bite thing yeah people bite gold why are we buying this I don't know I mean do their teeth know if it's oh maybe if it's soft gold well 24 carat is you know the higher carrot comp maybe maybe if it if you bite into it like mozzarella cheese yeah know it's real it's like it is real gold but it's not or it's cheese or cheese win what about fool's gold pyate chees oo o sucks why do we here's a dumb question why do we put such value on gold it can be used for a ton of different reasons manufacturing you know processes a lot of things that we use today use gold gold and have gold in them like gold foil whether for heat sinks and electronics or even for various uh high strength and long-term use tools but like why do we put a value on it well everything has a value is that true it's a precious it's considered a precious metal so therefore you know the Rarity and scarcity create hyper value why do we have in value why do we have it on our but there's no real well nothing nothing really matters if you think about this right so like gold yeah it's cool it's scarce but let's just say we take away currency Al together and it's just people you know what I mean in their most natural the most natural form and we have to use like some kind of barter system for like trading things like services like let's just say he's doing this right now in the car right Y and we're not exchanging money because I'm not paying him so what what does gold matter in that case okay it's just us right we're in the woods we're in the woods okay in the woods with men and women loin cloths mostly women yes and loin cloths it's leaves it's us and them there banana leaves right or coconuts for what is no coconuts not not in my world what's the value of gold then you get what I'm saying like like in that situation the value would be placed on I guess sticks and who's the strongest one that could fight and like fight off animals like wolves and things like that yeah survival the fittest in our day-to-day they use like what value does gold have like for us I know there's gold and iPhones and stuff like that but why do we have to why is it important you're you're not 50 yet so you don't care about gold yeah I guess you're right yeah you know the way Boomers care about the old look my gold bars start changing from from having like a a watch that's silver and one then you get gold you know like God watches they put on the hamburger meat they do the thing if there's anyone I don't think anyone under the age of 50 yeah anyone wearing a gold watch if you're watching this right now um and you're wearing a gold watch and you're below 50 take it off take it off go it right in the trash what we watch shaving people for well no I'm not watch shaming it's just it's more of like a style choice you could have a silver watch you could have a brushed aluminium watch but if that's what people somebody prefers you have a rubber band watch but it doesn't look good I can kind of see where it's going yeah we're doing oh it's right there yeah we're doing that currently it's just um it's a very slow you got to be real slow those are probably the mice all the dead mice yeah working through just piles of mice poop drinking it getting there so at what point does he buy a new car uh last week you're just essentially massaging this yep yeah small pushes at a time all the infomercials and stuff you see on TV if people popping yeah well that works on plastic bumpers right when you the hot water on the plastic bumper that's the only only place that that works pretty much anywhere else you're you're you're fooling no one yeah well you're fooling a lot of people unfortunately yeah that's the problem that's the real sad part isn't it people are are young and impressionable and and they they see a thing and they think that that's that's going to be the end all be all well it works on Tik Tok so right well we're definitely not trusting Tik Tok and that's why we have you cuz apprciate it on a on a vehicle like this I don't think a Tik Tok trend is going to you know what is nice to watch on Tik Tok oh sh he's he's tapping he's tap tap tap it in oh there see it oh yeah there's a kick it's a it's a boy it's is it I hope so Tik Tok said it's satisfying like the landscapers with the weed whacking yes yeah I know I'm looking at that right now you are cool all right that's see we're getting there we still got a little bit more finished work but the majority of what is left is actual the missing paint so I'm going to clean up that very center section and then smooth out the clear coat and we should be in good shape but that was an extremely tough well right on the body line I like seeing people look that's that's amazing I know well I was saying to him earlier like if you if you looked at it from here you can't even see the de you could see it beforehand head on when you looked at it from the side profile I I didn't think it was going to be I honestly not is not here I didn't think it was going to I'm right behind oh I had zero zero Faith zero confidence in a person from the internet on on Instagram of all things man we'll drop in your touchup and your once your touch-up paints it cuz like now the only indentation there is from the paint that's actually removed that is crazy I thought it was all Voodoo I thought it was like you know chiropractors W stupid let's let's not compare let's not compare this I'm Lim one two better not Sue hey it worked everyone paying for a chiropractor service right now and they it's it's not real it's just not real go to yoga take off your gold watch do do yog take your gold yoga stretch I don't think any characters chiropractors are actually watching this either because they're busy scamming people so they're not going to it doesn't matter anyways how much closer can we get to these uncomfortable you think wow this is amazing you know you're doing amazing work right now I appreciate that all right Rich you did an awesome job what's up man hey I just wanted to you know give you the slip we can kind of settle up oh yeah yeah yeah yeah no problem so dude I'm just really again I just think about modern technology sometimes well we should probably pay and um just the what you're able to do with just really basic tools are just it's this this amazing we should pay him like two like metal rods he just puts it in there and he does a shimmy thing and it's all set are you trying to justify that that's so easy free this is John John is ready to do stuff he's got his apron you want to play a game why is that leather we're here at uh our dear friend John shop Elite autop Sports and uh we ran into some issues with the Porsche we found out later on that they started eating the bom of the seats too so the seats didn't move back and forth and they actually started chewing up some of the leather in the seats too they're hungry John is actually going to repair the seat for us take a look might as well this is how you repair seats right rats really like Porsches I guess it's kind of like pit bull's like Teslas showed the pit bull biting and tearing her vehicle while she and her dog were in it no the dog attacking me pites also like children what the hell John hey guys look at him he was working real hard this is lead Auto Sports John also lives here that's his kitchen out let's let's go take a take a tour of

the kitchenet uh this is the cupboard where uh all the dishes and cups are I won't open that but anyways John what what do you have for the seat well this is what we found oh they chewed it up this is ridiculous look look at little mice teeth I'm going to keep this so Porsche leather pora has a very funny smell to it it smells like a Porsche they all smell like that how do you replace these exactly oh that's a big one look this wow it's serious yeah looks nice so there you go there's Porsche leather oh wow this smell like it it does yeah goe come yeah this came from Germany yeah so is the entire seat like this or um I got a little ideas I want to switch it up a little bit for you show us joh this is one of your door panels I already ripped apart okay so I was thinking of uh maybe doing you know some elant Tera and some PL okay what do you think uh I think this is a good idea it looks good everything here looks good okay it's no plaid you don't like plaid no no you told me you like my scarf earlier I I I I lied plaid is like it reminds me of a Volkswagen GTI you know I mean it's like a Porsche still the same family Porsche Volkswagen same thing yeah but like it makes it look kind of cheap so like no plaid no pla just make it like just elephant ha this looks really cool though so was your idea to have the door cards aren't bad I still don't want plaid in here but the seats are a big note if the seats are just if you could do the OEM leather that was on the seats that'd be cool cuz the might shw that up just a regular straight can me ask something yes we've done a couple
