That’s outstanding. I have a 930 that had the right rear quarter replaced at some point in its life and they did as great a job as you did. Almost impossible to tell other than paint meter reading and the missing factory chip finish on the bottom edge of the wheel arch.
Very very nice work. Pleasure to look at the finished product. So interesting to see the process from start to finish. Only thing was, I had to turn off the volume to save my ears from the extremely distracting, jarring "music" ( if you could call it that). A running commentry to explain your process would be interesting to hear.
Thanks for the comment, after the paint was complete, we replaced the oil sump, and under coated the backside of the fender. This job was done over five years ago, and the paint job still looks as good as when I painted it. Thanks 👍🏼
Excellent question, I have been asked this quite a few times. When you butt weld two pieces together, you want to have between a 16th and an 8th inch of a gap so the weld can penetrate all the way through making it a clean but weld. If the two pieces of metal are completely touching each other when welding, you’re only going to weld the surface. Those spacer clamps are specially made to keep a small gap so that your welds penetrate all the way through. Thank you 😎🤙🏼
Da wo die Punktschweissung ab Werk gewesen ist, ist nun eine Ansammlung von Wellen Dellen ggf Beulen. Da sieht man ja sofort, wenn man die linke originale Seite vergleicht. Da hätte man sich mehr Mühe geben können.
Awesome job, what rust prevention did you do to protect the weld under the the wheel arch from rust, especially near the lower section near the front of the door?
On this job I used High Teck professional rubberized undercoating in black. It sprays direct to metal, and it will seal up all the welding under the fender wells.
Thanks for your comment, no the customer wanted to take it without rubbing it out, because he had more work to do to it. I normally cut and buff all my paint jobs, but this paint job laid out really nicely.
I have a question for anybody that works in an auto collision field I used to work Auto collision myself in the past I noticed the painter would wear a charcoal filter mask but still end up having paint around his nostrils I did prep work I would wear an n95 mask but at the end of the day I blow my nose out into a rag and have a ton of dust in my nostrils my question is would you trust an n95 mask or a surgical mask to protect you from a microscopic virus like covid-19
@@AirCooledDesigns every painter that uses a charcoal filter respirator always has paint around his nostrils the only mask that really works is the one that covers the whole head
That’s true, the last time I used a full face respirator that covered my head was when I used to paint fire engines. Spraying into the compartment boxes surrounded me with overspray, so just a respirator would not work for me. Painting cars is different, so I just use a respirator, and never had any issues. 👍🏼
I used TIG, and Mig welding for my projects. I used Mig welding on this job with no issues whatsoever, and I was able to get the job out within a couple weeks for my customer. As long as you control the heat, there will be hardly any bodywork to do. Thanks 😎🤙🏼
Yes, the art of auto body and collision work is all about making the decision on what tools to use in order to make the repair. I’ve done plenty of work for the insurance industry and had no issues whatsoever, and in California the insurance are fully aware of me using either Mig, TIG, Arc, or Spot-welding wherever is needed. Thanks for your comments (Big Block Lawyer). I’m curious to know what method you would’ve used to apply this quarter panel?
Hey Bernard thanks for the message, I’ve been using the Upol Gold body filler for many years. Few of my jobs that have this filler on there Decklids never have any issues past five years. As you can see in the video it’s only a skim coat, so there will be no problems. I’ve had clients bring their work in where they do not take out the dent, and was filled with Bondo so there was cracks everywhere. If I cannot repair the Decklid before the bodywork, then it’s better off just getting a new one.
Awful repair, sufficient for an old winter car. Sheet metal sealing before the bondo application, polyester bondo over the bare weld seams, no tinning, no reasonable sealing from the inside possible ... oh man this is a porsche !
Thanks for the comment, of course, I’ve done plenty of prepping before the bodywork and paint, and the prepping underneath the fender before I undercoat it to seal it up. This is not a how to video, but more of a quick video of the work I do. The owner drives his car on a regular basis, and the bodywork has held up over five years now, no issues. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. I know there’s a lot of people better than what I can do with metal, but I have no issues with the customers. I only do this work for myself, and friends to keep my hobby alive. I love watching videos on how some of these metal workers do their job, and it’s amazing. One day I will be there, lol 🤣👍🏼
Just looks fast & easy. Skip a few steps like rust protection and maybe zink paint on weld seam. But as we say. Ei tuu itelle. Not for my personal use....
It all depends on what the customer wants to pay, when I do a full restoration everything it’s zinc, coated, and all seems get seem sealed before the two-part epoxy primer is applied. This young customer inherited his Porsche from his grandfather, and he did not want to spend too much money on an accident that he had. I always work with peoples budgets. Thanks for your comment.
Not sure what you’re talking about, the gas tank is in the front of the car, not the rear? After all the bodywork and paint was completed then we did replace the suspension parts, and the dry oil sump. Thanks for the comment 👍🏼

Very nice job! I hope you’ve painted the back side of the fender, especially the welded areas. Otherwise it will rust out faster than you think

looks good
Thank you, I appreciate it. 👍🏼
Great job. I have some BMW e21 projects also. Respect from Romania!
Cheers to Romania, and to our projects that never end, 🤣😂
You cut the seams so they matched but they used spacers to make an even gap before welding the gap . Wondering why the gap?
Thanks.

Looks good man. I've seen a guy make a turbo wide version from regular body
I’ve done a few 930 turbo, widebody kits, but this customer wanted to keep his Porsche stock. It was a fun challenge.👍🏼

Thanks Jerry for your comment, I enjoy working on early air cooled porches. Sometimes it’s a challenge, but it’s rewarding when the customer is happy.
Excellent work

Interesting to see that you couldn’t be bothered to fix the damaged behind the wing before fitting the replacement.t
Yes, I know, the customer had the oil sump, and suspension replaced after the bodywork and paint was complete. Thank you.

Great job curious how many man hours did it take to do that quarter start to finish? Also we’re can I contact you I need some fenders done on my 911t
Took me within a couple weeks to complete. You can leave a message through my website at:

I did a 73 targa 30 years ago
I bet it came out awesome!!! 👍🏼
Really nice job! Did you use a targa quarter panel for this coupe? I was wondering if it was possible
Thanks for the comment, yes you can use a quarter panel from a Targa to fit on a Coupe.
Great job, good skill set you have there buddy👏
What colour is this? I really like it.
It’s been a while, but I think it was called Wine red metallic. It was a beautiful color for his 1987 Porsche 911.

Oooof. Mig welding on a super thin panel like that is prehistoric. I guess if the customer is ok with it, it's fine.

Nothing prehistoric about Mig welding. It's done all the time in the car repair industry. The question is why you don't already know this.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Yeah. Let the insurance company find out you mig welded HSS on a late model collision repair.
