Buying a Porsche 911 Sight Unseen: A Rust Nightmare or Dream Build? | EP87

The Morning Shift & Navara Review

Nic and Sal welcome back fan-favorite guest Jeff (aka @suitbyday) for a wild Episode 87!

SAVE THE DATE: The Morning Shift is locked in for August 16th at Sydney Premium Detailing! Shirts are sorted, partners are on board, and it’s gearing up to be our biggest meet yet.

We review the Nissan Navara Pro-4X to see if it’s really one of the most comfortable recreational utes on the market!

Sight-Unseen 911 & Rust Nightmare

Jeff jumps headfirst into his dream build—a sight-unseen auction purchase of a 1984 3.2-litre Porsche 911 Carrera Targa!

Dream turns to nightmare: Broken head studs and hidden sill rust, including a fist-sized hole completely packed with expanding foam and silicone!

The nerve-wracking reality of DIY welding and structurally bracing a roofless Targa so it doesn’t snap in half.

“Car Guy Math” & The Accidental Cayenne

Needing cash for the 911 restoration, Jeff planned to sell his Audi SQ5... but got distracted and accidentally bought a 2003 Porsche Cayenne V8 Twin Turbo Trans Siberia tribute instead!

Sal and Nic unpack the hilarious chaos of justifying an obnoxious, rally-inspired daily driver while the SQ5 still sits in the driveway.

Resto-Mod Dreams & Suitbyday

The vision to revive the matching-numbers Rubin Rot Targa with 964 cams, a Steve Wong chip, and a rare Monty exhaust targeting 280hp!

Go subscribe to Jeff’s channel @suitbyday to follow the full restoration and build process!
