More Complicated Rust Repair of an 86 Porsche Carrera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- This 86 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 is a friend's doughty companion through summer. He invests regularly and she's getting better ever since he has owned her. This winter we address two annoying rust spots under the front fenders that are very common with G-models.
I've signed up to Amazon Affiliate recently and now I can guide you to the products I'm using in my workshop. I'm secretly planning to become insanely rich by doing this, but I think I deserved it.

The ease with which you fabricate such complicated parts is a real testament to your skill. The best part is as you use methods we could all aspire too. More great content. Thanks !
Thank you, David, but the ease is just an illusion. 😀
@@GreasyFingers so that is the art ;-)
It’s the patience I am in awe of. 💪
Your attention to detail is wild! Well done !
The handcraftman ship to its extreme.... Real patern making with the fingers of couture attention an détails.
It is all about the seams!!!!
Thanks, Vincent. Can’t wait to get my fingers on the Spider.
Good morning Johannes. Have not seen a post from you in a while. Miss your informative and skillful videos. Hope more are coming soon.
Hi Kevin. Thanks for asking, I'm in the process of editing the season finale of Prussian Blue, hopefully being able to release it on Wednesday. Not sure though.
Apart from that I did a great deal of customer projects this winter, not all of them worth making films.
A new Greasy Fingers video is an event at my house. Somehow I missed this one so when I saw the Part 2 video that posted today, I found this and boy oh boy am I ever glad. I bought 6 fenders for a 101 series Alfa Spider last month and while most are decent, I do have channel and flange rust on several. With the knowledge from these two clips, I think I'll be able to expertly repair these fenders. Thankfully, I do not need them for my car BUT they will make excellent parts to trade
Thanks for commenting, Steve.
Always a pleasure!
Thanks for the video. I’m saving a 74 911 on my channel and repairing most of the parts as you did. Thank for you videos
Looking forward to watching your videos!
You are quite the craftsman and there just isn’t many of you left. Great video.
Yes, it looks so, the demand is huge.
A pleasure to see you repair Walter so carefully. I have learned quite a bit from you and used it to repair my 944. Danke schon!
Thanks, my friend.
Walter, however, is my red Carrera. The poor blue fellow wasn’t yet given a name by her owner.
besides the craftmanship, the quality of the video and espcially the music is great!! well done
Danke, Michael.
Was waiting for the pink primer to appear, no episode is complete without 🙂
Thanks, Bryn.
It accidentally has become a kind of branding.
Hammer!! Super Arbeit 💪
Danke, Hansjörg.
Your craftsmanship is so impressive, love every bit!
Thanks! 😊
Excellent workmanship, it is an absolute pleasure to watch these videos.
Thank you, Rhett.
Beautiful work 🏁
Always a good day when Greasy fingers upload a new episode! Inspiring to see that such things can be done, and with such a beautiful finish! 😀
Thanks, Halvard.
They can be done!!
Super work! I think you should treat yourself to a small shrinking machine for repair parts like these! I am a huge fan of bonding parts where possible but so many people are still suspicious of it. Replacing those headlight bowls is a perfect example of where it makes sense, anywhere with close fits and minimal relative movement between parts is ideal and it is so much gentler to the parts than the heat of welding. Good preparation and following the product instructions perfectly are the key to success! I am planning to use adhesive as much as possible during my 911 restoration as the car is no longer original anyway😊
Thank you, James.
I much agree to what you say and I look forward to future experiences with this product.
James, do you know anything about anaerobic adhesives? I’ve been wondering is a very low viscosity adhesive could be wicked into the crevice of spot welded lap joins. Maybe a toughened
version.
@@johnsherborne3245 Sorry John, not my area of expertise! The 3M and Henkel product selectors are very good for narrowing down to a few suitable products for a particular job though I find.
@@jameswalsh1690 so it sounds like it’s my idea, I ought to explore it!
Always look forward to your videos!! Bravo. ✌
Thank you John, please share them with friends or force your family watching them tied to the chair.
So much love for the restoration of a single fender, I'm impressed!
Really, I am also impressed by the use of new materials!
Nevertheless, I hope that you'll get back on the 105 track soon!😉
Thanks, Dirk.
Yes, as soon as the spring wave of customer cars has been handled, Olivia will return.
Finally another nerd like myself 😂 I’m subscribing. Thanks for a great video brother
Thanks for commenting, Jens. Glad you’re here.
Great to see you back
Pleasure, Stephen.
As always, a very cool video from Johannes. Vielen Dank.
Thank you, Lester.
Artist !
Nice episode, sir. Always enjoy your content.
Fantastic. Thank you for good point with gluing.
Thanks, Petr!
Superb work, I just love watching your channel it inspires me to do more on my 911. Thank you
Thank you, Ian. Glad you liked it.
Don’t hesitate to share it with other 911 nuts.
Wow! Another great vid showcasing your meticulous craftsmanship! I don't know where you find the patience. I guess you must enjoy the satisfaction of helping the old wounded souls of these cars return to their previous glory. Thanks for taking us along!😃
Thank you, Brad.
You’ve found the perfect words to express my motivation.
You are a true master fabricator. Keep up the great work and I love watching you recreate and keep those classics on the road.
Thank you, Richard.
Is that a red 3.2 in your profile pic?
That's been a pleasure to watch, as usual! This painstaking work, plus your mentioning the availability of a repair panel, has made me curious though: does Porsche still sell new G-Model fenders? And if so, do they charge the small fortune I imagine they do?
Porsche charge small fortune for everything that gets to porsche classics program... imagine 924 and 944 ...the cheap porsche ... not anymore
Thanks, Matteo.
An excellent replica of a 911 fender is available at JP for about 1.3 k€. Almost impossible to note any difference to a Porsche one.
@@GreasyFingers 1300 Euros for a non-Porsche part tells me that the original costs even more... Wow! I can clearly see why you repaired that fender instead of replacing it... Plus we all got a nice video to enjoy, so that's definitely a win :)
@@adamt3332 I’m tempted to agree, but not always! I was after a fuel tank sender gasket which is VAG part. VW wanted double the Porsche price. By the same count I also wanted a gearbox gasket for a 928, it’s a Mercedes part, Porsche wanted double the Merc price. This leads me to suspect that price charged bears no relationship to true cost. They just dream the price up.
For me the fun part is to work out who made the part originally and chase that. Lots of OEM building relatively small volume cars build parts bin specials, find the bin and you have your part.
Awesome, well done!
Thanks, mate!
Hell Johannes! Reading through some of the comments, I now understand the need to repaire. Seeing the first use of Masking Tape (Forget what they call in in German) I though Yeah, out with the filler up to the tape and job done 😉 When you have finished you training in coach work, you could easily become a camera man. The shots are terrific. Sauber. Alles gute von der Inselaffe.
I only recently found your channel. It’s by far the best content of Porsche /Alfa body work repair and maintenance I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Not only your repair skills are first class, also the filming and explaining is top notch. Looking forward to many more future episodes.
Hi Ivo, thanks for your feedback which yesterday has really made my day.
I’m already working on the final episode of this season, to be released next Friday, in 8 days.
@@GreasyFingers thanks for the info!
Another master class. Greetings from 🇮🇪
Thank you, Connor.
Another great episode.
Thank you, Pantelis!
Un super travail je comprend pas votre langue je vous suis juste en vous regardant en image et j'en suis tout émerveillé car j'adore les 911 surtout une comme la vôtre elle et pour moi mityque encore bravo à vous👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Bonjour José.
Merci et veuillez noter que des sous-titres en français sont disponibles. Ils sont traduits par ordinateur, mais je pense qu'ils sont bien compréhensibles.
Great job ,,, I too dress back spot welds with the edge of a grinder and a cutting disc , it takes practice and patience , but the results are mighty ,,, try a 3m scotch pad on a die grinder too ,,, again great results .
Thanks for the tip, Tom.
Cheers, Johannes
MORE MORE MORE 😢😢!! love the work ❤
There’s going to be more soon.😊
skilful repair of a beautiful car
Thank you!
In deed she’s a beauty.
Super impressive… I think i’d have just bought a new wing though!
I think he wanted to keep the paint - very difficult if not impossible to match one panel to old paint, this way there's only going to be a strip of new paint a cm or so wide along the shut-line that should be pretty inconspicuous.
You got it exactly! It was all about keeping the paint, I guess I should have mentioned it in the film.
Good afternoon, Greasy finger! So good to see you again. Again, spot on job! By the way, what about the Alfa?
Thanks, François.
The Alfa … currently on hold, too many customer projects.
@@GreasyFingers that's what I thought...
Excellent video!
Thank you, Cameron.
Jeweller's art!
😃 Thanks!
I love your videos sir.
Thanks, Gideon.
Just amazing 👍👍
😊
Do you care to specify what areas on the 105 series you could see a use for adhesives?? Great videos and channel!
Thanks, Dominic.
I’m thinking about the acute-angled overlap of outer sill and middle sill and the according overlaps of the fenders.
Fantastic, sympathetic restoration work, as always. What a lovely thing that old bead roller is.
Is Walter named after Rohrl by any chance?
Thank you, Angus.
Yes, Röhrl is the reason. Not only that he’s an admirable man, we also grew up at about the same place and his 70th birthday was the day I bought the car.
@@GreasyFingers One of the greatest drivers to have lived. His ability to master all technical layouts and disciplines must be almost unsurpassed.
Someday I will use 1/10th of what you have shared….that is the goal.
What’s your car, mate?
👍👍👍
Question? new to the channel have always wanted to buy and old Porsche, was wondering how much all in (if having to do all the work you've done) to own one of these? Love this channel.
Thanks, Alan.
A car as a base for an extensive overhaul (avoiding the word restoration) like the one I did should be around 50k today.
Really good original ones cost >85k.
Hi,great video as they all are.May I ask where you buy the magnets?
Thanks!
Just Amazon …
why not use electrolysis on things like that light bucket..? could get all the rust and then you epoxy it... I've done it on Alfa doors and such, gets the rust, doesn't disturb the good paint.
Thanks for commenting.
I understand the theory behind the method but don’t have any practical experience. I’d love to learn more …?
@@GreasyFingers Well, my thinking is like this. I know you dont like to cut away the original structure. I am the same way, I like to leave as much of the original car as possible in every instance (where possible..).
I also have noticed that de rusting with electrolysis a very harmless way to remove rust, and only rust, the metal that is not rust is not affected with this method and in my experience the paint has not been affected either.
I use Acoustic soda and water, no special mixture.. just added to the same solution for many years, add some water, add some soda as I see fit.. (connect negative from battery charger to the part and positive to sacrificial steel anode(some junk)), rinse the anode when it gets dirty, all the rust will end up on it. I run it fore like 2 days and after this the part is free from rust and you can assess the damage.
If doing door bottoms that still is on the car, use a big bag and hang it on the door....
Electrolysis gets to all the rust that can be touched by water. Its like reversing rust... unfortunately it does not add new metal to the rusted parts but still a great help.
Love the channel, God bless you.
Love it
Thanks, mate.
Interesting, do you know how repairable the glued seams are? If the glued parts can be removed without having to grind down the metal on the whole seam I think it is a very interesting alternative for quite a bit of repairwork.
If applied in industry, these glues always come with an „anti-chemistry“, which means that e.g. BMW workshops can order a product that enables them to remove the specific BMW glues of specific cars.
I’m not sure whether this is true also for aftermarket glues, by my hopes aren’t high.
@@GreasyFingers Oh well, I might try this approach with some ”almost lost cause” rusty parts I probably can’t weld without burning through. If they rust out again I can try to pull the repair out without a sledgehammer.
Ich wusste gar nicht, dass man die Lampentöpfe so „leicht“ tauschen kann. Auch von JP Dansk? Gruß Michael
Hi Michael, ja auch von Dansk.
Also, so einfach fand ich’s nicht, aber es rentiert sich auf jeden Fall, den Topf zu ersetzen, wenn dem Kotflügel sonst nichts fehlt.
Deshalb war mein Wort leicht ja in Anführungszeichen- dass es schon aufwendig ist und auch tricky ist, habe ich gesehen.
How much for a new fender? Are they not available?
At last some interesting viewing 😮😅
So the waiting for the next one begins?
@@GreasyFingers oh yes I'm in the primary stages of a beard ,no doubt it will be a full beard on release of next vlog 🤣🤣
Hi Johannes, was hälst du von Innenkotflügel ? Lokari z.B.
Servus Andreas, im Prinzip halte ich viel davon, aber zu Produkten kann ich mangels Erfahrung nichts sagen.
what is that tool at 15:59, I have been looking for something like that for a long time.
That’s tin snips, mate.
You are in Germany? Wish you were in the USA
Yeah, Germany. Do you have a 911 too?
