He said, "Let it roll." 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,360 Then, capping off this week of incomparable cars, 22 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120 when the Porsche build proves to be a tight fit... 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,200 Oh, oh, oh! 24 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,200 ..Aaron eyeballs Richard's new toy... 25 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,280 You won't rob parts off of this, will you? 26 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,480 ..and sees his chance to up the ante... 27 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,560 I'd love to race it. 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,280 ..in a Gas Monkey showdown. 29 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,960 You calling me out? Yeah. 30 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,880 (LAUGHS) 31 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,480 That's fast, brother. 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360 Pretty junky day to try to buy cars, but at least Dennis has a garage. 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,240 Yeah, sometimes people are gonna make a better deal on a nasty, ugly day. 34 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:41,880 Aaron and I have been wanting to build a hot-rod Porsche for a long time, 35 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,000 but we've never been able to get one for just the right price. 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Dennis may have just solved that problem for us. 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,880 He's got this Porsche and he traded it for full book value 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,480 for one of his Jeeps, and then goes for a test drive 39 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,160 and realises he's got a blown head gasket. He's like, "Screw it. I'm done." 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,520 So, my buddy just took a 2000 Porsche Carrera 996 in on trade 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,640 and didn't do his due diligence well enough. Turns out it has a blown motor. 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,920 (HORN HONKING) 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,200 996s kind of look like little suppositories to me, man. 44 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120 Exactly. But if we can get it cheap enough and fix it, 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,520 then it's a good college kid's car... 46 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,200 Not after I get done with it. Oh, come on, man. (BOTH LAUGH) 47 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,800 To me, the Porsche is a wonderful touring car 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 and an even better race car. But here in America, 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,120 where we measure performance red light to red light, 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 I see where it may be a little lacklustre. I think I can bridge the gap. 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,920 Oh, there he is. Morning. Oh, you guys are up early. 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Well, dude, you said you had a cheap Porsche. 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Well, I guess it depends on what cheap is. Yeah. (LAUGHS) 54 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,720 Probably not cheap for you, but cheap for me. Could be. 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,320 It's a 2000 Carrera, obviously a cab. 56 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680 One owner, local Dallas car, nice car, nice paint, nice wheels, 57 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,960 nice everything, but it's got one minor problem. 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,400 It's a convertible. No. Tell me. The milkshake. 59 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,200 The head gasket. Yeah. These cars are notorious for it. 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,400 This is a 2000 Carrera that had a problem 61 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,400 where the oil would get into the water. 62 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 They call it milkshake cos you take the cap off the reservoir 63 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880 and it looks like milkshake. That is not good. 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240 Look at that. Whoo! Yeah. 65 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,640 Not an easy fix. Motor's got to come out. It's got to be torn apart. 66 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,080 I decided I'd just get rid of the car instead. 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,200 We missed that when we took it on trade. 68 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160 You missed it? Guy drove it in. It ran and drove fine. 69 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,520 I drove it home twice. Yeah. Came back. Motor's hot. 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,520 Like, you've got to be kidding me. Yeah. I screwed up. (ALL LAUGH) 71 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Dennis' car is a 2000 Porsche 911. Car guys know it as a Type 996. 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,280 Porsche has been making 911s since 1963 73 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,040 and they're known as some of the most successful competition cars ever built. 74 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,800 The engines were all air-cooled 75 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,240 until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998, 76 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120 and that's the source of the problem with Dennis' car. 77 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,800 The car hasn't been wrecked either. 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320 It's a good car, other than it had a heart attack. 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520 And it's not a bad colour. I gave low 20s for it. 80 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,160 You know me. I always go half. Ten grand, or the... 81 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,640 I think a junkyard will pay ten grand for it. It's a good car. 82 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,400 To me, low 20s is under $25,000. Of course he hits me at $10,000. 83 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120 I wanted it around $12,000. I wouldn't sell it for $10,000 84 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,480 cos this car's worth more than that in parts. 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,560 I think it's a fine car to cut up. There is no way you can get hurt at $12,100. 86 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680 That's what you did to me on the last deal. 87 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,640 The $100 almost grenaded the whole deal. 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,560 Um... Could part it out. All right. 12 grand. 89 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,280 $12,100. (EXCLAIMS) Ah! 90 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Uh, all right. $12,100, but you buy lunch. 91 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,160 Deal. All right. (LAUGHS) That can't hurt that bad. 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,960 If it was dinner, I'd never do that. No kidding. 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,280 I guess you can get it loaded. I'm not doing it. It's raining. 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800 I know. It's gonna mess up my hair. (ALL LAUGH) 95 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Y'all load it. All right. All right. Thank you. 96 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600 Thanks, bud. Thanks, man. 97 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,280 I took the hit. Hopefully he'll make a gain on it, 98 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,640 but if I had to guess, he'll end up 99 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 having 30, 40 or 50 grand in that car, so we'll see. 100 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200 It's fuckin' real deep, actually. 101 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,600 He didn't check the car out like he should have, 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,640 and right now, I've got one up on Dennis. 103 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,600 One for Richard. Boom! 104 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,280 I can't wait to get back to the shop and cut this thing up. 105 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Oh, jeez. Here we go. 106 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,280 Yo! Yo! 107 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Porsche time. Oh, boy. Why not? 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560 They were fresh out of Volkswagens, so this is what we got. 109 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,920 Dennis took this in on trade and didn't do his homework, so he's got egg on his face. 110 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,280 Drove it around the block. Thought it was cool. 111 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,000 Drove it to and from work and realised it had a little bad motor action. 112 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Yikes. Oof. Aaron's got a crazy plan, like he always does. 113 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,960 He won't tell me. He goes, "I'll tell you when we get there." 114 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,160 I said we could just fix the motor on it, 115 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,440 but that's boring and the car is under-powered and not sexy. 116 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,680 And besides making it cool, it could be worth a whole bunch more 117 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,680 if we made it more interesting with some American muscle. 118 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,280 So I thought maybe we'd pull this motor out 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,560 and put a Chevrolet LS3 in it. What? How do you do that? 120 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,360 And you don't have to cut all this? 121 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,640 I looked it up and there's a company that offers a conversion kit 122 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080 and it adapts this gearbox to the LS3. Everything fits. 123 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,360 It fits inside the factory hole. 124 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,960 That's nuts. I would have never guessed that. 125 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,840 The 996 is a nice car, but... 126 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,960 Porsche owners are gonna hate me for this, but what the hell? 127 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,840 The 996 is a dumpy-looking car. Therefore, it needs to be cut up. 128 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,360 They're little and short, without much presence. 129 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,720 Though this is a Porsche, it's a 15-year-old car 130 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,640 and the styling's fairly dated. For instance, I hate the headlights. 131 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640 The whole front end's pretty ugly, but we can fix that. 132 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,200 I think it'll work really well. I mean, LS3 power and wide body, right wheels, 133 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,720 I think this could be a really interesting car. 134 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,160 I don't see where the downside is one bit. 135 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,600 Pocketbook. Well, yeah, but that's... Yeah. 136 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880 Like I say, I didn't see the downside. (LAUGHTER) 137 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,600 Yeah. Golly. What do you say, Mr Pocketbooks? 138 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080 It sounds like a risk to let Aaron cut up a perfectly fixable car, 139 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,600 but if Aaron can keep it in budget for once, 140 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,280 then maybe I can see a profit for once. 141 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,320 It's gonna rain. Get inside and get after it. 142 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,240 Whoo! I've got to go pack. 143 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,520 Dennis and I are taking the wives to Los Angeles tonight. 144 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,000 Ah! More... More pushing. 145 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,240 MIKE: Just let the new guy help. (LAUGHTER) 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,520 So, if I understand this right, 147 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Aaron's plan is to Frankenstein this Porsche 148 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,360 and give it the heart of a more powerful American monster. 149 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,320 We're going to dump the fine-tuned, German-engineered motor 150 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,520 and transplant an American-made muscle - 151 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,120 a Chevrolet performance LS3 crate engine. 152 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Then, to get rid of the ugly, replace the bulbous front end 153 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,240 with new hood, fenders and bumper 154 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,440 to the sharper styling of the Porsche 997. 155 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,360 We're also gonna beef up the suspension for a stouter stance 156 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320 and flare the fenders to accommodate custom wheels and tyres. 157 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,560 Dr Franken-Porsche, I'll give you three weeks 158 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440 and 20 grand to get it done. Will that motor even fit? 159 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,480 I don't know yet. All we can do is try. 160 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,680 It better fit. Oh, it'll fit. We can make it fit. I'm pretty sure. 161 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000 JEREMY: You're a bunch of sons of bitches. 162 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200 MIKE: Ah, dude.

(LAUGHS) 164 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,720 We're at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles' grand reopening. 165 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,280 It's been shut down almost two years, a $90 million renovation. 166 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880 This is Mecca for a car guy, and here we are 167 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120 for cocktails, car-shopping, and having some fun. 168 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840 I'm not just a guest. I'm a card-carrying member of this elite club now, 169 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,920 because I've got a car here, too. 170 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720 Whoa! This is my favourite car in the world. 171 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,400 That's beautiful. Why don't you buy it for me? 172 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,960 DENNIS: Grand old Rolls. Wow. Dude, that is as wicked as it gets. 173 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,920 I'll have to sell a lot of cars to get up in this world.

The inside doesn't line up. 322 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,320 I guess it sounded like a great idea. 323 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,680 Anything to get rid of the big, dumb headlight. 324 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,880 I left AK and the boys back at the shop tearing apart the Porsche 325 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,080 so I can get a look at another foreign car. 326 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,120 This one's already been hot-rodded in a crazy kind of way. 327 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240 I was out here a while back at a car show 328 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,480 and I saw a little car that caught my eye. 329 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,520 It was a Karmann Ghia, kind of a rusty body, a rat-rod style of car, if you will, 330 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320 but it ran and drove and was super-low to the ground. 331 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520 So I jumped in an airplane and got here in an hour and a half. 332 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Anybody here?

All right, done. 401 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,560 I paid 7,500 bucks for the car. He started at $10,000. 402 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,160 I think that's more than it's worth, but it's got a cool factor to it. 403 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,280 There's this Leake Auction coming up, 404 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,520 with a big, eclectic car crowd.

So, on the phone, 535 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,000 the adaptor plates and all this stuff show up. 536 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160 Like, I saw, like, a stamped piece, 537 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,280 some holes and some nutserts in it and spot-weld it on, and... 538 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,560 That's not what this shit is. (LAUGHS) 539 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,800 So, they're just flat pieces of sheet metal 540 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,400 that they claim are gonna hold the front end on. 541 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,200 If I came to y'all with this, you'd look at me cross-eyed. 542 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,560 I'd ask you where your wooden handles are for these swords you made. 543 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,480 I know. (LAUGHS) I know, huh? (IMITATES SWISHING) 544 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Regardless, the front end will go on one way or another, 545 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,920 whether we use what they sent us or whether we make our own. 546 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,920 We could keep being upset or we can decide to fix it all. 547 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520 So... I'd say the rest of it's just on us to make it right. 548 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,840 Heat it till it drips, pull it till it rips. That's the one. 549 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,680 Our body guys' fabrication skills will have to make up 550 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,240 for where our $11,000 kit failed. 551 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,480 They enter the apron where the fenders mount. It won't work. 552 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,560 So that's definitely gonna have to be cut out and modified. 553 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,240 Michael and Keenan asked me to help them make these support brackets. 554 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,080 The brackets they sent us were just too flimsy. 555 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,840 So we'll make new ones. Yeah. 556 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,680 Make sure everything clears. 557 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,400 If we don't get these fenders mounted up correctly, 558 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,800 it's gonna make the whole front end be off and look a little dumb. 559 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,160 It looks pretty good. 560 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,000 The fenders seemed to line up OK, 561 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,640 but we won't really know until we test-fit the hood. 562 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,840 Might make all that work, just a little bit of adjustment. 563 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,640 Light-years better. Oh, yeah. 564 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,240 The hood fits pretty close, so the next step is test with the bumper. 565 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,240 What do you think about it, mate? I think it fits good, but, uh... 566 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,720 Since the bumper has no support, 567 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,080 since it's not the same bumper that came on it, 568 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,080 we have to engineer some kind of support to hold it up, 569 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,200 cos right now we've just got a jack stand, 570 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,480 so we can't drive down the road with that. No, probably not. 571 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,800 Webster's gonna build us a bracket off the impact bar. 572 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,520 I hope this works and does everything we want it to, 573 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,600 because we don't have time to go back. 574 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760 I think we can make that work. 575 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,400 Cool. 576 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,040 AARON: Now they just need to finish up the front flares and we can get the car into paint. 577 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,000 You know, I told Richard we'd get this job done on time, 578 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,840 and now we're days behind schedule because of the front-end kit. 579 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Do you think it's ready? I think it's pretty close. 580 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,720 I don't believe you. You're not a body man. 581 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,520 You think it's ready?

I think Richard's car is super-expensive and it could win, 749 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,040 but with Kaufman driving the other car, 750 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,200 you never really know. I don't know. 751 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,120 So, you have to pick a winner. Pick one. 752 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600 I'm gonna go with Richard just to be safe.

Effing A. 755 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,400 To make the new motor fit in the Porsche, 756 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,120 we had to pull out some heat barrier padding from the engine compartment. 757 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,160 We're ridiculously close, 758 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,120 but where we need the room, I think we can generate it. 759 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,960 And my favourite way to generate room is with a saw, 760 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,720 especially if it means cutting up a precision-engineered sports car. 761 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,000 So I had Webster cut away some sheet metal 762 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,880 that was just going to be in my way. 763 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,840 Yeah, booey! 764 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,560 Now this German ugly duckling is finally ready 765 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,280 to accept our American-made motor. 766 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,520 All right. Let's go ahead and do it. 767 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,640 Jeremy, I'm in a tight spot up here over the water pump. 768 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,800 Hold on, something ain't adding up. 769 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,760 I've already broken everything there was to break up here. 770 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,440 Oh, come on. Come on. 771 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,920 How y'all doing back there? You're in position down here. 772 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,880 Bump the car up. Everybody clear? Yeah. I'm out. 773 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,560 It is just barely touching back there. 774 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,040 Transmission's happy. We've had it in twice and it didn't fault once. 775 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,600 JEREMY: That time was easier than the first time. Cool. 776 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,080 We're in.

The oil-and-water sludge that destroyed the Porsche motor 780 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,560 is stuck to the inside of the cooling system like a parasite. 781 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,880 We can't risk any of it getting in our new motor. 782 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,280 This is definitely gonna cost us time and money. 783 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,680 We've got everything now. 784 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,600 So I ordered all-new rubber, and that's money, but who cares besides Richard? 785 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,560 But the piping would have to come from Germany, and there's no time for that. 786 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,760 So I've got Jason busy swabbing out every inch of the cooling system. 787 00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,240 JASON: This really sucks. 788 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,280 The idea is to pass the rag to and fro inside the pipes 789 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,200 to clean out any film that's left. 790 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,120 We don't want the new motor getting polluted by this. 791 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,400 It's really a pain-in-the-ass job, but I got stuck with it. 792 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,600 Lucky me. I drew the short straw today, so here I am. 793 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,960 I feel like I'm fishing. 794 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,160 Oh, look there.

We had to remove some material 801 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,760 from the back of the car, and instructions call for more removal, 802 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,840 but I think it's not necessary. The car... It fits pretty good. 803 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,920 The kit didn't work out how we planned, but we fixed it, 804 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,320 and we're happy with how it goes together now. 805 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,560 Aaron lost a couple of days making the front-end kit work, 806 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,880 so it's really a good feeling to see the LS3 807 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,320 all nice and snug in the back of that Porsche. 808 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,360 Hopefully, he can finish on time and make me some moolah. 809 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,200 What we found out after doing this, buying a car without the blown head gasket 810 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,800 would be cheaper to build than one with a blown head. 811 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,600 You bought one that runs flawlessly, you'd be ahead of the game, 812 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,520 because what we've had to do with all the rubber lines, 813 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,760 all of the tubing, clean the radiators and the heater core... 814 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,800 Oh, shit. It infested every part of the car. 815 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,280 We've got a lot, a lot of problems due to that. 816 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,880 I didn't even think about that stuff being in every component there is. 817 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,800 Everything under the... Heater core inside the dash, 818 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,680 heater core lines, it was everywhere. 819 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,960 Aaron told me something that no garage owner ever wants to hear. 820 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,400 It would have been cheaper for me to buy a running and driving Porsche 821 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,680 instead of Dennis' that had a blown motor. 822 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,080 Cars with blown head gaskets, or whatever it had, 823 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,880 are pretty much done for. (EXHALES) 824 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,120 I thought I had one up on Dennis on this buy. 825 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,400 All right.
