Milo Aho says:

It sounds dumb but when you see upholstery workers slapping the leather that’s to help seat it in its most ideal position an get rid of wrinkles. I’d strap it and slap the crap out of it

Bill Brasky says:

treat yourself to some all weather oem floor mats

Andrew says:

what really gets me watching your videos is the bimmer in the background. just watching quietly. patiently.

zois tzouropanos says:

996 and 986 they had a false airbag light because of the plug and the cable soldering oxidation and increase in the resistant. Porsche instruction was to cut the connector and join the cables directly. It happened to me and after searching a lot to find out I went to the dealership and they fix it like this.

david rinaldis says:

Gotta do a body color console………………

Heiko Quant says:

This very much looks like a mechanical handbrake rather than an (e)lectric brake.

eric digiacinto says:

You should paint the console with the same exterior yellow to get rid of the scratches on it!

Paul Sullivan says:

You know the camera puts on 10-15 lbs…that's why it looks like fat rolls instead of wrinkles on camera! LOL!!! Just kidding! Everything is coming together very nice! Videos are may favorites even though they are not on the E36…(yes still one of your e36 boys) lol! Keep.up the great work!

Paul Hetherington says:

You could try steaming those wrinkles out. It's common practice in the upholstery trade. You'll find a video on YouTube I'm sure!
Great channel Matt.

BadCosmonaut says:

Small garage?? No man, you should check out mine. Your garage looks like a pro shop, great content Pal!

Domen Štiftar says:

U should stich the turbo letters on the head pillion on the seat

Luke Harrielson says:

Bro the beats in your vids honestly go kinda hard!! Loving the build Matt !!! I refinished the seats in my truck with leather and it was hard but definitely worth!! This upgrade will be so worth it!!!

Alex Oehler says:

Great rebuild! Keep it up. Love this 996 rebith. Also, the retrim job makes the car look so much cheaper. Well worth to send this seats to be profesionally retrimed.

Yogi's Garage says:

Matt I'm chasing down an EVAP issue, P0442. I just tracked down a fuel tank pressure issue, which ended up being a short to ground. EVAP is a biotch in this car. Word of caution on EVAP, don't smoke test with compressed air due to risk of fire. My entire airbag system is throwing codes so I think it might be another short to ground. NOTE: since your car had a water leak, it's entirely possible you're suffering from similar gremlins as I am with my cabriolet. We should collaborate on the EVAP issue.

Garrett Sullivan says:

Code31 comes on my 996 all the time. It’s a false code from a changed harness. I think it’s pricey to full address

JR Fuller says:

" Solid "
BEEP
" NOOO NOT SOLID " lmao

Cameron says:

Hey, Matt. I've been enjoying this build series since it started. Real quick, why didn't your paint guy fill the hole in the side scoops when painting them? I can't remember. Did you decide to remove the after paint? And plans to fix those holes?

Bigelboe says:

I just recently took the door card off with the battery connected in my 997 and triggered and airbag code. After clearing with a scan tool i had to go for a short drive for it to properly clear. Otherwise it knelt coming back on the dash like you showed. Maybe similar?

HK Monaro says:

Pretty sure you can pick up decent GT3 replica seats now which are pretty cheap

bernardthefourth says:

Fine work, she's coming together.

Vincent Carrano says:

Hey Matt, Champion effort always. you are one patient dude !

Money mike Slick will says:
