(EP3) We Cut Up a Classic Porsche to build a Supercar | Porsche 356 Restomod Ep.3

In this episode of our wild Porsche 356 restomod series, we cut up a classic Porsche 356, piece by piece, flat-packing what’s left of the shell — with sparks flying, parts flying, and decisions made on the fly. What stays, what goes? Let’s just say… not much survives.

We also reveal our donor platform: a 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster S, which we mount on the chassis table in preparation for the ultimate cut — slicing the modern supercar in half. We respond to your comments from previous episodes, discuss our planned wheelbase modification, and dig into the challenges of merging vintage Porsche curves with modern performance engineering.

This episode kicks off a crucial stage of the Porsche 356 meets 718 Boxster build — where classic metal meets cutting-edge chassis. If you're into restomods, custom Porsche builds, chassis swaps, or just watching iconic cars get transformed (or destroyed), you're in the right place.
