In this video, I take the first step in getting an old friend fixed right. The engine recently developed a lot of oil leaks and it was decided to go ahead and pull the engine to fix it. With the engine removed, we can hit two birds with one stone. Not only can we fix the oil leaks much easier, we can also get the frame fixed. Join me on this journey as I fix this car right so we can enjoy it for many more years to come.
Car: 1985 Porsche 928S AKA “Big Red”.
Problems: Leaks tons of oil and has a bent front frame.

How does the build quality of the 951 compare to the 928 which you said impressed you so much? Great videos, thanks for sharing and keep them coming!
I'm happy to report that Big Red is getting picked up from the frame shop tomorrow. The "Porsche Approved Body Shop" got him all straighten out! 🙂 New video soon.
I have 81 Porsche 928 project vehicle
I've been considering DIYing the engine vs shelling out to an auto repair shop so looking forward to following your lead. It's great that you got the family involved, too! [3:55] :o) keep it coming!
I would go all the way and put a Kuhn turbo kit in it (with the engine rebuilt!). Great car…worth every possible care!
Great video Dan. I have owned for the past 5-6 years an S4 MY89. Am currently doing radiator out timing belt, water pump and other WYIT jobs. Given this is a long termer for me I can envisage a time when there will be an engine out experience for me also. I especially liked th time lapse of the panel disassembly. Keep the video's coming.
Hey Dan, very well done!
Dad
