Default Rebuilding Wrecked Porsche

Am sure many have heard of Goonzquad. I have followed them on and off and they have rebuilt a bunch of cars including Ferraris, Lambo, Camaros. They just bought a wrecked Porsche Turbo and will be rebuilding it. Should be interesting and am sure there will be tips on how to remove and install parts as well as troubleshooting. There are I think 2 or 3 episodes so far.

you can bet these guys do a 10x better job then the vast majority of folks who bring dead cars back to life. most rebuilders are after a quick buck and do the bare minimum, hoping to find an unsuspecting buyer to rip off. have enjoyed watching Goonzquad in the past. thx for the heads up on the TTS project. should be fun/interesting to watch

That will be a waste of money.

The Goonzquad guys Billy and Simon are talented , energetic and very entertaining . Cant wait to see how they do w/ this wrecked Turbo S. It was pretty funny in the first episode watching them trying to figure out how to get to the engine...

This is both scary and a little impressive. I can't say that I would buy the car, but their work appears to be good quality.

Buyers need to be smart and aware. Don't trust everything you see - even salt looks like sugar.

Too much talking and not enough doing from those Goonz guys, Arthur Tussik on the other hand just gets it done. Be it right or wrong it's very impressive to see what he can do.

I tried to watch this, but these guys are way too annoying. Or I’m getting too old.

I'm positively ancient at 38 years old, or at least, I feel like it trying to watch these guys.

I really like their personalities, just wish they'd cut out the filler and focus on the car.

When every second word is Dude I know I'm in the wrong place. LNC is a far better watch, also M539 restorations is pure gold.
