Looks like you really tore something of mine apart, oh yeah, it's in pieces, it's a it's a rust bucket! It's pretty bad, really very bad! Here's this crossmember that came off! You can see. Oh it's gone! Oh and this one here as well i'll flip it over this is what was holding up. Your fuel tank welcome to hoovey's garage the dumbest automotive channel in all of youtube, and i am back from a two-week trip where i filmed the next two car tricks which will be on devarsa's channel sometime in the next few months and during that time, a lot Of progress has happened at the wizard shop, but also i need to get him to look at. My latest purchase a 1988 porsche 928 s4 that a lot of people say are maintenance, pigs, they're not worth owning because they're such a pain in the ass to keep running.

Sorry, i'm going off of about a day's worth of sleep in the last three days. So anyway, we're gon na take this up to the car wizard and we're gon na check on some projects up there, one of them's completed, and one of them is going way way way deeper than i thought. There's also a big issue that i'm having with this new era of soaring gas prices, uh that is stalling one of my other projects, but i just need to grip my teeth and do it so, let's go and this car is completely completely dead. So, ah got a battery drain for the car wizard to look at there we go.

You can't hear that it's running over the ferrari, though way to help your friends ferrari, the italian car that always starts, shall we oh yeah, so another car with a battery drain. Like my range rover, which i did plug in before i left, but it's been sitting for so long, it's doing the full land rover squat. When you see the cars parked like this even new at the dealership after a couple of weeks, they will go down like that. It's not because they're broken from the factory, it's just how they are, but anyway, back in this very, very nice portion 928.

As far as issues, i don't think there really are any mechanical ones, there's a annoying rattle and i'm about to act. I'm about to hit my trash can oh geez, okay. This is gon na be a bit of a spacey video today, but anyway there's an annoying rattle in the door, and i don't remember if there's anything else, that's really broken other than the battery drain. We'll see the car wizards it's a 35 year old porsche.

It died at the exit to my neighborhood, a one-man push starter. Let's see if i can do this nothing come on. I can't push her hard enough to push start it. So i'm gon na have to walk back to my house, grab the jump starter and do this again all right attempt number two: i jumped it off with the range rover this time abandoned at the edge of my neighborhood.

Then my wife calls says the baby's out of diapers at daycare, so i have to drop it off uh for the baby uh the wizard's, leaving for an appointment here in a very short amount of time. So i have no time to eat lunch. Here's lunch crackers and a pepsi here we go don't stall again wizard it's snowing, it is snowing. I got a really good workout in this thing.

Today it stalled out the edge of my neighborhood with a dead battery. Let's see if it restarts it restarts it. Just has a battery drain after a couple of days. It goes stone stone dead, which is a theme with a lot of my cars, but something i didn't know about.

Maybe he has a bad battery, maybe i'm being a little hard on the seller uh head down. Some batteries probably something's draining it, but we will definitely find out okay, but yes, behold, it's a 1988 porsche 928 s4 in a cool cassie red burgundy interior cassie, red manual transmission, uh, a little bit of blood from when i closed the rear hatch on my finger Right before i left for card trick, it's still, oh, my goodness, it's still healing, but otherwise a very, very nice car. I know you, don't you don't like these? You know the car really isn't the problem. It's that i've had bad experiences with the customers.

In the past, because this is these are the cheaper porsches, so people that really shouldn't afford one buy them, they can't afford to fix them. I never get to fix them properly, then they complain and then they, but this car may actually change my mind. Well. Thank you but you're, saying they're, usually owned by cheap, weird people huh usually well uh.

I am weird, but i definitely know how to spend money with you. So hopefully it's not that bad, but hopefully it doesn't need very much. Obviously, you're not gon na know what the power drain is without really digging into it. It does have a horrible rattle in the door which you'll just probably get in the panel and fix, but i'm curious if there's anything else before we do that, though it looks like it looks like you really tore something of mine apart, oh yeah, it's in pieces, You, like the color wizard, i do it's like a salmon like a it's very of the period, and i love the way it looks in your light.

So the ferrari it was back up for some steering boots. Steering boots are done. Okay - and it also had a weird little thing going on with the clutch, which was just a slave cylinder right, the clutch master cylinders actually was corroded inside of it, so it wasn't allowing it to release all the way back up at the very end, it was Sticking yeah, sometimes the clutch would just slip, but i knew the clutch was nearly new. That was one of the service records, so it was just just that yeah.

So that's good to go. That's good! To go. I kind of have options to take things home, uh, viper, not mine, but going back together. It seems huh.

Yes, very good. This is my silverado ss, which we're going a little further than we first thought. We were huh, it's a it's a rust bucket. It's pretty bad, really very bad.

We just poked around so what's rusty about it. Well, here's this crossmember that came off you can see. Oh it's gone! Oh hello! We got the new one in place here, so that was what was holding up my fuel tank. Yes and this one here as well i'll flip it over this was holding up your fuel tank as well yummy.

So this is what was holding up your fuel tank, so you're saying this thing was a little rustier than we thought. Well, it was literally a bucket of rust, that's wonderful and you can see the muffler is well even uglier. So how does this happen where a truck the body itself isn't rusty, but the frame is there was good undercoating on the cab, but not on these parts. Here well, okay, we had to cut out.

This was one of the cross members here that goes across. I have a new one, coming mm-hmm, we'll weld it into place. Okay and it looks like you're already, cleaning up and kind of spraying down the frame which is otherwise solid, but yep not gorgeous. Obviously, no.

This will never be a concours quality truck ever again. No, but it was a five thousand dollar silverado ss and the fuel tank is. Is it in the bed over there yeah, that's actually in the bed, so it was having issues with uh taking fuel like just a trickle at a time, and did you figure that out was it just because it's laying sideways or something well? One of it is some of the lines are connected improperly on the charcoal canister, and we see we have a new fuel pump module here. The old one was so rusted.

All this stuff was just broken and crumbling. Oh okay, so i'm spending a little bit of money on this thing a little bit, but any running four-wheel drive truck especially of that era. It's ten thousand dollars, even when they are complete, rust buckets like the rockers rotting out and everything. So i know i'm not going to lose.

There it'll be a presentable usable nice truck that you're protecting to where the rust won't get worse and fixing the things that need to be fixed, but we're spitting more than i thought a lot more. Unfortunately, there's another issue i'm having. I brought my 930 turbo up to ship to leonard in arkansas, along with the uh 911 cabriolet. I went to book it with my normal shippers and they wanted twelve hundred dollars per car per car per car to ship.

It 300 miles yeah. The heater is freaking out over that. So i really choked on that. Wizard i mean is that what shipping is nowadays like five dollars, a mile like more than what a tow truck used to be everything's going uh so anyway, i'll figure it out we'll get the car over there and get started with that uh.

My mustang! Is it? It's done it's it's done too. Yes, i would take it home, but it's 20 degrees outside. So you have the speedometer working. Yes, the gauges are in they're beautiful conversion unit.

It uses gps and converts it to a mechanical. You got me a key yeah. A few little leaks and then what was my little like stumble, misfire thing we just adjusted the carburetor cleaned the plugs and went through. You really didn't need a whole lot.

Another thing, too, that daniel mentioned is it runs on methanol and it has a super duper. Cooling system, so it takes a long time for this to warm up yeah until it's fully warmed up, it's not going to run perfect, okay, but once it was warmed up and you got it dialed in, but it did spend nearly three days wiring on this thing. So the bill's not cheap this time. Oh yes, because the turn signals didn't work among other things, so you do have a bill for me on this.

I do, but i'm not taking it home. No - and i see magic mike is putting in ferrari seats, huh, yeah, whoa fresh from the upholsterer that looks that looks good, making some custom brackets for to get these seats mounted in wizards preferred driving positions. Turning out really nice you're you're getting there. I'm also going you guys will have to watch a video on it on my channel, but there's some secrets going on with the engine.

I'm gon na make some changes: duct tape, yeah, there's no carburetors there yeah here's the other portion, i'm talking about. I have to ship it and close with the other one, because well the top's non-existent it's not there. No engine in it leonard has the engine he wants to put it back together, get it running, so i need to get it shipped for not twenty five hundred three thousand dollars, but in the meantime i have that porsche to enjoy, assuming it's not a complete and Total mess so shall we, let's take a look at it. Yeah didn't you have a 928 uh owner like run out on a bill or something on you.

It was constant trouble, you hold a check, or will you do this? I ran out of money. I finally got rid of the guy well, and there was another one too. That was a little weird yeah. It sat here for a year and then he didn't want to fix it, and there was, i think, there's a there was another one.

So all your 920 experiences haven't been bad for the cars, but just just the people right, hopefully you're, not one of those people. I i don't think you are, i'm suddenly feeling you know a little tight, oh no, a little cheap has the timing belt been done. It's been, it was done. Yeah i'll, show you good.

Yes, the timing belt was done last year. So we don't worry about that. Look how nice the engine bay is 43 000 miles wizard. Somebody spent 18 thousand dollars converting this to a manual transmission, really went full crazy on it.

So the four speed - and these were you, know, okay, but somebody really wanted this one to be a manual, so they spent well almost what the car was worth. Probably five years ago to do it wow, but it is a very, very nice car. Hopefully, there's no surprises, but i don't see anything up here. Do you? No, i don't see anything leaking and you say the timing belt water pump was recently done.

There's the sticker to prove it 21. Just a little over a year ago, the radiator everything looks clean, so yeah, i don't see anything major going on just by glancing, but let's get it in the air cool. Now i do have a little bit of damage here that i need to get fixed. I think you could repair that and sort of just paint around the edge, maybe now the paint's kind of chipping away.

Here too, it looks like it's been painted before, so maybe i do need to respray the bumper to make it nice, nice, but yeah. This is something i could probably just drive regularly or daily. Not to worry about it very much. Are you ready, yeah wow? Oh, look at that nice and dry very dry, very minor seepage on the ac compressors coming from this line.

Okay, so very does the ac work? Do you know it does yes, probably not for long it won't for long. That's actually compressor oil, okay! So we'll just need the new line there recharge, it should be. Fine pads are nice and girthy. It's got some uh bilsteins on it, they're not leaking.

That's good sway bar links, good hey! You got lucky on the steering rack huh for once there's a tiny bit of seepage here. I think it's coming from the oil pan, but it's not really worth a major tear down. It's not very fun. To get the oil pan out of these yeah is that the the starter? Here? Yes, it's a starter.

It hooks kind of like a bell housing here, the transmission's in the back right, but there's like a bell housing here and the starters right there, interesting, because the flywheel's still there but the transmission's in the back with the torque tube yep. So how hard is it to do a timing belt job on these? It's not hard at all like hour, wise, oh probably, two or three hours. It's not very hard at all see people are mad because you have to do tying belts on these. But it's it's fine! That's not a big deal.

I've done some timing belts that are really hairy, and this is not one of them. Nope, okay, nice and tight is the steering tight. It does feel really tight, yep good here's, our cats yeah a little bit of rust on the bolts and things, but it's all surface there's, certainly no silverado ss. Here, no, no, no subaru baja, just normal everything looks age-related yeah holy moly, no rust on the bottom.

No, it's all still got the original coating on it, yeah for a almost 35 year old car. It's here's our manual transmission. Yes, which used to be an automatic right here. It was yes, so it's a rear, mounted transmission, a transaction.

So you see the torque tube here, so this doesn't spin. It's actually inside of there correct what somebody spent all the money for this. It's not leaking, no check the cv boots that one is good, that one's good brakes are thick uh-oh. Look at that boot! Oh! I can oh, oh my you're you're penetrating it yeah.

Oh goodness, you've you found some okay, so we got to do a boot. Yes, a boot see the strut's dry. What about this boot looks like one boot one boot, some seepage not worth worrying about an ac line, that'll, probably leak out and not giving ac, but an easy fix. So really it's just the power drain and the boot for now right, probably the ac line just to be preventative.

It's nothing, crazy, nothing, crazy! I'm not gon na come back in two weeks and it's gon na have that all tore apart, like the the chevy right. I don't think so now: okay, uh well, in addition to the ferrari being done and the floor being done, there's the ml63 outside which had the boot that exploded, which had an axle that exploded and then the car wouldn't go. So that's fixed too yep same time. We got a good used shaft, it had to be an amg one, it can't be just be a standard ml okay and we got a good used one.

It's a couple, 300 bucks for the shaft, and it really wasn't that bad okay. Well, i think i'm gon na take the ferrari home before the weather changes. I can come back for the ml63 and i imagine i imagine you have some bills for uh other things. Oh, yes, absolutely! Okay, okay, he's ready! So let's go do that my least favorite room in this place, so we have just one page: it's a mustang fourteen hundred dollars for wiring yeah for a lot of hours.

There was three days worth of wiring for turn, signals and brake lights, and you know really it should have been warm. I could alter that and change it if you'd like no, no okay, grand total is three thousand dollars to have a mustang more or less exactly. How i wanted it so i can actually use it and drive it on the street other than the windows which i haven't gotten around to doing yet. So that's why i'm not driving at home today.

I guess where's the ferrari bill in the ml 63 bill i'll have to get those when you come back around the next time. Are you slipping? Are you? Are you sick, uh? No he's just feeling generous. I guess. 3.

000. Today. That's a cheap visit to the wizard, not bad, i'm so conditioned nowadays that that just feels normal every time i see you oh well, maybe i should raise them a little bit well, i was obviously a little testy earlier with the lack of sleep and the battery And the long walk in the freezing weather, but all it took, was a pepsi, some cheese crackers and this ferrari to really perk me up it's cold, so i have to be careful, but all this car i got ta remember i'm so fortunate to have the things That i have and yes they are a pain in the butt and let me down a lot, but i wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget.

Hoobi's garage stickers, which are linked below we've, had some very cool tweets. You tweeted me hoovie's garage when you put your sticker on a hooptie place in your car or your car's on a hooptie. Just cool we've had some great ones recently and ubi's garage t-shirts. Some cool designs, also linked below my sister, is a graphic designer she's coming with some amazing stuff.

So please check that out once again. Thank you so much for watching you.
