That was cool, I like the sounds of the shop. Thanks for posting, makes me wish I was working at a job like that instead of sitting on my a$$.

Almost everyone in brand new Porsche coveralls, I really like the engine cover standing platform.

Besides the changes in manufacturing the changes in safety are equally profound, eye protection ear protection safety shoes, the coverall straps, working under objects, the standing on the engine OSAH would have a fit.

Thanks for posting

I loved the standing on the engine. I think the first part of the video were 944 engines. Seemed to be only 1/2 an engine. but could have been the angle

Very cool. I wonder how many of those cars are alive and well today. Porsche quotes something like 60% of all of their cars built are still on the road today, I wonder what stat applies to the 928 I suspect a lower %.

great vid. No enzo there. The 944s are 1/2 the block of the 928, so no surprise they were made in the same place. Also note that these truly were handmade cars, or at least hand assembled.

Looking at the 944 motor around the 2min mark makes me wonder if a 16v 928 could use those fuel injection parts like the rails etc?

And all the time they are talking about Helga in payroll and how to get her in the sack. I guarantee. And their 4 weeks paid vacation; and the next trip to Lake Maggiore for R&R. OR is it six weeks?

See how easy it is. All you need is rows of new drivetrains, completed bodies hanging above, and every nut bolt or part you could possibly need within reach in bins.
