Hello youtubers, happy 2024 to everyone, that's the first thing. I hope that the year has started in the

best of ways for everyone and above all that in 2024 you can be happy, achieve

your goals, enjoy with the people you love the most and well, from here We will continue creating

content to entertain you so that you have a good time when you get home, this is our first videoblog

of 2024 and we start it a little differently than always from the end of all this videoblog is

very cool for me it has a lot of feeling more than the others. We started recording, and now

you'll see it, it's been more than a year now, and it's because, as you know, I've already seen it, I've shown it on social networks.

When I won in Argentina, I bought what was kind of the car of my dreams, which was a 993 turbo.

The story was It was cool, not because as I said, I wanted to buy the nu3 turbo, which is

a brutal piece, a unique car, surely one of the best cars in the history

of Porche. When I signed my first big MotoGP contract with Suzuki and my wife He said at that time

he told me [ __ ] but something so iconic something that you've been so excited about for so long doesn't make

much sense now don't buy it I know when you win a big prize And it will be very special and I

told him you're right well there's nothing not after Suzuki Until I won last year Well now

two years ago in Argentina many years have passed many races I thought we wouldn't

make it But in the end I won in Argentina so I remember that I came home and on Monday

just after After arriving in Argentina I told my wife, you know what's up, no, and she told me what do I

say, 993 Turbo, and she laughed her ass off and the truth is that I was looking for a piece that

was quite special for me, we found it and we made it. Made everything from practically scratch,

there is not a single screw left in Julian 911, which are some cracks. Now you will see the entire transformation

with Robert, my mechanic, we have done every last detail. Now, David, here in Andorra,

we are up in the mountains that I just finished. We arrived to pick it up from Julian 911 and we came here

to test it. Let's do details of the car. You're going to see it's all with commemorative plaques

and for me it's not like this car is a dream. Obviously it was a car that fascinated me. but

for me the dream was to win a race in motogp and that is going to be a memory that will surely

accompany me all my life and will be with my children so I will not get involved anymore in the video of

the whole transformation which is very nice and I hope that you enjoy it until [Music] now

I am Jan from Juli 911 and here you have this fantastic 993 that we are going to start a very special project

and a complete restoration of the car Alex has left us the car to do a really project to

your liking and try to get your dream car so let's get down to it with [Music] this one of the

most emblematic moments was the moment to lower the engine and the gearbox after

so many years and so many kilometers we stopped the heart of the car the rest of the body

well we come to see julan How the 993 turbo is looking my Dream is going to explain a little

about how the project is and we are also going to say a little about the colors of the interior of [Music]

this upholstery people are incredible what they do are surgeons a

past [Music] we are ring uncle classic Yes but a pun ring uncle of the [Music] era is looking

handsome now the engine outside they are making the engine inside everything is already about to come in

aa paint and now we have come basically today to understand what color we are going to make the

interior. I like it brown as it is but I wanted to do it all new So

we choose between camel or a brown color like that more earthy and now with with j we are going to see [Music]

options

[Music]

once the car is ready and adjusted, it is time to put it in the

paint booth for painting [Music] total

Hello, good morning, we continue here at Juli 9111 with the restoration process of the car

from and now we are going to see a little about the changes and the steps that we are following to do so,

here we have the car with us and now we can see all the parts that we have been

optimizing, improving and at what point in the restoration we are. Although at the beginning we saw

that the car in general was in good condition, really to reach a detail and a quality

like the one we want, there have been many hours of preparation of the body, all the

old paint was sanded, let's say the car was left again on the plate And From here we

worked on all the details, all the adjustments, all the franchises, all the important points

and we have carried out the complete painting process through the vehicle, now it is back

in its original color, Midnight Blue metallic and this is the [ Music] result once

we have the car again, everything is completely painted as it came from the factory, then

the final assembly of the bodywork begins, for crashes, windows, etc., etc., assembling

new tires, all the details, all the things that have aged over the years, giving them again a

new life in terms of mechanics, eh Alex is very clear that it is a car that he wants

for life, he wants to enjoy it, he wants it to be a reliable car to go with the family and

therefore we focus on each of the details important aspects of the mechanics to

make it a 100% reliable car. So we have removed the engine and the gearbox from the car, we

have completely disassembled them and after checking the wear and

tear, we are once again reassembling the entire engine with All the new parts

that we believe are necessary. The engine needs very, very special attention and therefore

we have it in a separate room where we do all the engine reconstruction. Come with me and we will

see it. Well, you saw when we dismantled the engine that had oil leaks. It had

many logical things from these years of operation, we dismantled the entire engine,

we analyzed all these details and now, as you see it here, although it may not seem like it,

this is the 993 Turbo engine in the assembly phase, here you see the main block that is already closed

and here we are assembling the new cylinders and pistons that the car will have from now on

3.6 eh male original from the factory new new chains and we have already started the entire assembly during

the restoration process we have used one of the methods eh Very very new especially for

Its technology, which is cleaning with dry ice, dry ice is an

air pressure treatment with this ice that what it does is clean all the surfaces, especially

aluminum, etc. etc., leaving them back as they came from the factory. Well, another point.

very important eh suspensions and brakes eh In this case new discs eh calipers with a

yellow finish and a bilstein suspension system with adjustable height and hardness well the interior right now

is not at its best this is still part of the old upholstery part of the

uprights old but we are already working on everything that will be the new configuration of the

interior with its new materials etc. that you will see soon [Music] Well now

we are finally in the final phase of the ales car as you can see eh practically bodywork

on the exterior level We have everything finished and a very important part has been the entire interior. The

interior has been completely personalized to the taste of Al. We have chosen the color of the upholstery. We have

chosen the central parts of the seat. The front and rear seats are made

with a very special engraving, eh details. in carbon on the door panels in the part

of the dashboard, as you will see, the clocks are also personalized, all five of them, both in color

and in the central contavel, there is a very special nod that you will surely recognize [Music]

here we have a fundamental part of the car I I would say that one of the most important, without

a doubt, is the engine. We have previously seen how it was after all these years and these

kilometers and in the end we have completely disassembled the engine and replaced all

the wear elements. It has been restored piece by piece. down to the last screw, the

fundamental idea has been to leave this engine 100% viable as it left the factory. But we have also

taken advantage of this entire process to increase its performance so that you have an idea.

For example, we have seen the turbos, we have them. Here they have been completely dismantled

and repaired. and eh optimized so that the car once it is assembled has all the power

final will be higher than the power that came from the factory. So at this moment the engine is

ready, prepared to be reassembled in the car and put into operation in

brief [Music] Hello everyone, I'm in Juli 911, a good place. Toys will be from the adults

you have seen during all this time almost a year or a year ago eh And you have seen the evolution

of the 993 and today is the day eh I can't wait to pick up the car it is the best gift from the

Kings It's possible, look at it, look at it, I promise you that I'm very nervous, it makes me very excited because

it is a car, it has four wheels and an engine, but it symbolizes much more than a car for me,

that is, there will never be a car that surpasses this feeling because it is a lot. more than a

simple car but eh let's [Music] see Well you already know him Because he has come up a lot

during the video but J the creator of this toy gift symbol So

many thanks to julan 911 to Jan for all the The patience you have had for all the effort

you have made is brutal. So if anyone one day wants to make a dream come true, this is your man. This

is your Santa Claus. Thank you very much at the outset. I wanted to say that obviously this is

my merit and my entire team has done it. a very big effort to finish it and nothing you have followed a

little bit the process has been a long process we have attacked the interior bodywork brakes

suspension side of the car we have really done everything the little plate Exactly Yes yes so it has been a
