I was shouting "PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!" but it turns out I wasn't shouting loud enough. Just wait until you have to put them back in again with a load of lovely fresh paint to contend with. Great work as always That engine is sounding fantastic now and the startup was pretty good too
Nicely done! I know working around glass is always nerve wracking. Thanks for allowing us to follow along as you removed all the rear glass. I have to do the quarter glass myself as I too have some rust forming on the bottom side of the glass. Well done!
Nice work! When I did the hatch on my 968, that was extremely nerve-wracking. I just took it very slowly and managed to get it done over the course of a few days.
Great job! PS I have found it’s best to get engine right up to temp before shutting it down due to the chemistry that hydrocarbon combustion generates water, so you want that water to burn off and not sit in the combustion chamber if engine is too cold when shut off. Nicely edited video, loved the night shot out front of the garage!
Good progress as usual, I took my rear quarter glass out earlier this year. The glass is incredibly strong so there was no chance of you breaking it pushing it out. Putting my glass back in with new seals was an absolute pig, definitely a 2 man job and far more difficult than removal. I sealed the metal channel at the bottom with POR15 to prevent any future rust first.
@@MrToddgibbsif you do that, you would have to fabricate some way to channel the water down and away from the interior. If the metal is appropriately epoxy primeted and painted, it should be fine with no holes.
@@MrToddgibbs Unfortunately not as I'd love to help out. I thought about drainage holes but I figured the water tension would make it redundant, and drilling a hole would increase the chance of rust.
Nice ,Hard work. You r getting there,step by step. What a journey so far. Which colour do you have in mind , getting it painted? white ? Cheers from northern germany

Shout louder :) they are a pain to get out, god knows what will happen putting them back in

Thanks rtking, the glass is pretty thick so they shouldnt break... but it is quick hard to push them out. Good luck :)

Thanks Jeff - all of my work is done in tiny bits, evenings and weekends between feeding kids and helping with homework, so no chance of rushing :)
I think you might be the ultimate 928 nut!! Bravo🎉
lol thanks Scott, I think :)
Lube would have made your life far easier! (spray bottle with water and fairly liquid really helps!)
Ah..... you needed to shout louder as well :) Out now :)

Hi Petero, yes, it was thoroughly warmed up (I cut a lot of it running out), but thanks for info :)

I hope you live near Oxford :). A friend also suggested drilling drainage holes in there, beneath the seals

Thanks Jeff, I’ll leave it as is then :)
Gotcha. Won’t drill holes
Nice work
thank you!
