Hey man, love following the build! Can you tell me where you sourced the hard fuel line, and what radium fittings you used for the fuel rail?

Thread resurrection.... Definitely stiffens the car but if stitch or seam weld the chassis am I losing safety without putting in a cage. Removing the crumple zones or pushing them into the cabin is a concern. Was 70's pre-crumple zone?

The Toyota is a JDM classic, rarer and much more reliable. People heads will turn for it, unlike the dated 911.

Question I have a 356A and it’s popping out of gear and ideas

That was a great video. And thank you! For sharing what tools you used

Wonderful to see such a solid example of the 85 Mk II Supra. Loved mine dearly as my daily driver back in the day. Was great to hear you mention how practical the rear hatchback area is. I used to bring my mountain bike along without even having to remove the front tire. One feature I miss to this day was that power sunroof. My later Mk III Supra had a Targa top, but I hardly ever bothered with it. Whereas the power sunroof of the MK II got a lot of use and never leaked. Overall such a strikingly good looking car. Aggressive in an angular way we don't see anymore. Plus the fun of those pop up headlights, which always sounded amazing when they deployed. Other great MK II features: the full size spare and the engine bay work light.

Kudos to you for going back and forth between these two manuals. I think you understate how different the Porsche pedals feel. I borrowed my friend's '76 911 a few years back, and stalled it so much until I got used to the pedal setup. Then I stalled my own car a few times when I went back to it after driving the Porshe a while😂

For taking out the key on the Supra that is so you won't forget your keys in the car that's why they did that

Any reason why, after you pulled it all out, you didn't just weld in some thicker gauge material to make sure it doesn't happen again?

Fantastic work on your car and documentation of the work.

Thank you !! Very informative, and will make repairing mine easier to do! Great instructions and suggestions !!

I took apart the mirrors to get them painted, but I can’t seem to get the actual mirror to sit in the housing now. They keep falling out when I hit a bump in the road. Not sure why.

So dope to have the cars u want. Respects! The comparison is pretty much what I thought. Consumer car vs hot rod. Keep enjoying!!!

Thank you very much, soon i am starting to work on my old Ford Zephyr and these tips are a gem! Peace

Question: I have a 1999 996 with a M97 3.8l 2007 model engine running on a 996 ECU. The performance is inadequate on rpm and top speed and I am interested to see if its possible to upgrade the ECU or a standalone computer plus wiring harness as an alternative to replacing the engine to the original M96 engine (I have one on hand). Which is the easier route. Replacing the engine will cost about 10k, but I can sell the M97 engine for about the same price. Do you have any input to the best option?

Dude was pumpin the brake pedal...sick😂😂😂

Another vote for the Supra. Wanted a weeknd toy and bought an 85 MK2 Supra. Fantastic car.

I have the SS5. The on/off switch is way under engineered. Feels flimsy, is flimsy. The switch welds itself together, won't shut off, and blows the pressure valve; then the compressor has to be shut off at the power source. I have this compressor for airing up tires; light usage. Don't buy.

now do it in on the whole car... does not worth

I did the same thing to turn my garage into a studio. It makes a huge difference.

I like the 356 as it relates to my project, But I just love the 911 yellow hot rod.

I’d take the MK II Supra all day every day.

why you installed the windhiseld before the dashpad? i always read it should go pad first no?

It started fine under 150 tank pressure because the unloader worked. You can hear it letting the pressure off the heads so it doesn't start under a load. That test was invalid.

Is there a reason why you didn't rebuild your heads instead sending them out. It seems like a simple procedure. Would you recommend a novice that has never rebuilt a head and does not have the tools yet DIY? Which is cheaper?

K&H also reupholstered all my interior trim pieces. I start putting it all in next week!

Sounds like a plan to come back stronger! I’ve been following the Mac build, beautiful car! Maybe I missed it but did you swap out the rear torsion bars to a larger size when you installed the six cylinder engine?

911 clearly the better sports car but the Supra is good enough for me and more reliable. 911s not striking though quite good looking n way too common. Supra is rare n sharper looking. I know subjective.

I was not expecting this comparison... Looking forward to it. I do miss my 83 supra.

I had 205,000 pleasant miles out of my '84 Supra until a clown drove into it. Apart from routine maintenance, it needed an alternator, wiper motor and a fuel pump. Try that in a 911 and it would require a lot of expensive repairs. PS the E36 M3 that replaced it was faster and better handling, but a lot of failures and a lot of money to keep on the road.

nylon straps is genius!

Sounds great Tom! Can’t wait to to see your new setup!

See you in a couple months Tom! Have fun, be safe.

TBH this gives me a couple months to finally get caught up on all the videos I haven't had time to get to yet!

Good luck on the garage work!

Good Luck on the Renovation and Maintenance. We’ll be here when you get back!

Looking forward to it!

Good for you, way to keep your focus on the bigger goals. We'll be here when you "get back'. Cheers!

Well done Tom, I’m sure the majority of your die hard followers have workshops far more cluttered and less organised than yours it’s all just a part of the classic car hobby. The idea of rehashing some of your earlier content sounds great, it will probably be the first time viewed for many of the newer followers too.

Boooooo boooooo no good. Boooo

Good luck with your garage project.

Your problem is not your motor, there is a youtube video out there which addesses this problem, throw away that cheap pressure switch and get a quility one then install a magnetic starter to take the load off the switch, your pressure switch is arcing under the start load and burning up your motors

Awesome job, as usual. I am in the process of restoring my original 1963 356B T6. I took lots of pics and videos when I disassembled, and practiced reassembling, the seat hinges. The only other video I could find online that demonstrates re-assembly is this one: ruclips.net/video/--YyzE7vfV8/видео.htmlsi=pt5fLu2SpmSq-Fsi Of note, instead of having to make a special tool to install the large spring, Mike simply used a Vise-Grip pliers. Interestingly, he doesn't mention anything about the slotted bolt that holds the spring having to be in a particular orientation. Thanks for pointing that out. Also, as with your car, on mine the passenger side has a sleeved bar between the hinges, but the driver side does not.

Hi Tom, do you have a video that shows the removal of the transaxle right from the start of tire, brakes etc. I may have to pull out the fulcrum plates since they are making a thumping noise. I will be first time doing this sort of work, I don't want to screw up anything.

Hi Tom, do you have a video that shows the removal of the swing axle right from the beginning.

It'll be good for you to clear your head space and come back feeling fresh. We're not going anywhere. See you soon :)

I'll miss you you're the best but look forward to seeing you in a couple of months. In the meantime do you have a website where you sell the parts we have a 356C and a 95 911

Great update. Looking forward to the new garage space on the other side. Glad the Zoom's are continuing.

just started watching your channel as I'm starting to reassemble a '68. Glad you'll be returning, your content touches on things other's don't.

You need a heater core in cali?
