The WORST PURCHASE I Ever Made!? My Destroyed Porsche 914
126,056
Published 2024-04-11
After buying the VW-Porsche 914/4 a few months ago, we knew it was going to be a wild ride and a lot of work ahead, but it constantly seems to be even more and more. With Steve and Ryan making some amazing progress, it turns out that the bodywork is a disaster wrapped in a pretty dress, which isn't exactly great.
Following such a long tour on the roads of Europe, it's great to be back at The Shmuseum, and today jumping into the Ferrari Purosangue for the drive up to visit YCR. Along the way we've got some errands and things to collect, plus the spare parts of the 914 to bring back home ready to be retrimmed.
However, it turns out that there are even more disasters hidden under the fresh looking paint on the 914, so we've got quite a long journey ahead to turn this into something beautiful - but when it is done, it's going to be an epic Shmeemobile!
Thanks for watching, Tim

Love it Tim, thank you to all of you for popping down once again. Patches certainly is throwing up some surprises, but nothing we can't fix. Excellent video 😊
-
Well, to be fair, project cars are always money pit. But you do this because we love cars
-
Having Martin around in your videos exponentially increases the liveliness. Such a nice chap!
-
Glad tony finally has a sign going up in the garage was surprised he didn't get one orginally
-
914 has a lot of known flaws constructed into it. Would love to see this one done as a restomod making it better than new. There is a podcast with Roland Kußmaul where he describes what they changed on a 914 to race it and came out with a car way better than a 911 of this time.
-
Awesome to see the Turbo transport Sign, Tony is a long time supporter of you're channel. And loyalty is important.
-
Yorkshire Car Restoration do some awesome work. Well worth having a look at their project videos.
-
Seeing the "Patches" in the quarter panel absolutley sent me!
-
Shmee, you likely have lots of options in England, but here in Canada there’s a company called Restoration Design (Waterloo, Ontario). They make fantastic panels for 914s and other Porsches, but in particular 914s the sale panel being one of them of course their prices are quite reasonable, and given the value of the pound to the Canadian dollar you’ll probably do quite well.
-
It's amazing what filler can hide...! The guys are doing a splendid job on 'patches' and I'm sure, will restore the 914 "correctly" to pristine condition.
-
The angle at which you showed your ‘FUV’ it looked like a mk1 Focus RS. 😊
-
At least you know the car is in the correct location to get fixed . Yorkshire car restoration do amazing work on cars
-
I can’t wait to see a video in the future of the 914 going around the ring and also your other modern classics such as the Clio V6 and 1M.
-
I am glad you are restoring Patches. It's fun to see them do it right. Thank you for bringing another older car up to snuff and back on the road.
-
Just love this project as so many of us have sent down this road as speaking for myself it's not always easy to splash the cash on a fully restored car in one go and even though we might spend more overall during our bit by bit restoration our projects give us a lot of memories and you certainly will know every aspect to your car and can truly say you know it inside and out... This is such a different project for you Tim as mostly it's new out of the box cars or cars just needing a bit of a transformation that you take on but this is the full Monty......
-
Your garage always looks so beautiful. The AMG cleaned up nicely.I really enjoyed that Swedish Video,with you snow drifting. You had a permanent smile and were laughing the whole time. What an experience.
-
Doing these old cars is such fun, I love doing it. The massive filler fests seem to be very common in older, so called, resto jobs it never ceases to amaze me, but those guys seem very good so the end will be marvellous!
-
Why not add a six cylinder and make it a 914-6? Seems a waste to rebuild it only to keep the tiny engine
-
It'll be worth it in the long run, if it's anything like my classic mini or the shmini it'll be a go kart!
