Thanks, mate. Fact is, we all do.

Jethro the other one, I would guess 😉

Thanks, Rhett. ☺️

Much appreciated. 😍

Incredible indeed. Cheers, mate!

“Silence, Earthling! My Name Is Darth Vader. I Am An Extraterrestrial From The Planet Vulcan!” I think I have to watch it again soon.

Thanks, mate. That’s very kind feedback. It’s just no fun doing things half as good as possible.

Welcome, Ole! Thanks for commenting.

Thanks, Christopher!

Thanks, Pantelis. How are the Bimmers doing?

Thanks for commenting, James. Feel free to tell us more. In my eyes the problem is that whatever is applied to the panel before it’s welded, will burn off again. I therefore used Inox spray and will bring in some cavity protection later. Is that what you mean?

@@GreasyFingers yes, but I have found no paint or bought treatment really lasts - they all begin to fail pretty early - especially on areas that have had a lot of heat from welding. Which is why I made my own.

Thanks for commenting, Brad. Always a pleasure.

What you mean „minor“? 😆

Thanks, Filippo & happy holiday!

Same to you, Simon! Cheers for your 911.

Thanks, David, but I guess not. 😄

Thanks, Christopher. Glad you liked it. Don’t hesitate to recommend the channel to your mates.

Thanks, François. Same to you!

Thanks, Bryn. You missed it? 😆

Thanks, for commenting! Yes, and that would also allow the wire to find something to connect to instead of just being pushed into the gap.

Thanks! It is!

Thanks, mate. In the end it’s all a matter of tight gaps.

Thanks, Kyle!

Yes, it works great.

Thanks, Ole. Yeah, a very small and special one, but there seam to be guys who like it.

Thanks, Halvard. I benefited from the comments of my viewers who recommended to me the idea of adding material into the gap.

It’s a closed space. you can’t get it out

Thanks, Fritz. The copper method is a great way to avoid holes but as Anton said, it doesn’t work if you can’t access the backside.

Thanks for commenting, Rod. I read a lot about Pour 15 and I’m tempted to try it. Can it be painted over easily?

@@GreasyFingers they make a topcoat, as it dries shiney and slick. I just pulled the fuel tank on my 69, and there is some surface rust on the upper driver side corner of the mounting surface on the car. I’m going to try and get a small container, because once you open it up, it’s best to use it up. The top will weld to the can and you can’t re open it. That’s how strong the stuff is

Thanks for commenting, mate. I like the S2000, as it’s such a dedicated design, but I don’t have any specific knowledge about it.

Where are you located, mate?

@@GreasyFingers Texas

Thanks, David. I discovered the rust because I looked for it. I had the car in my workshop in summer for changing the oil tank and whenever I have a 911 on the lift, I look after the usual suspects.

What World Cup?

So am I! The bumper reinforcement plate one you mean, right? I expected it to be at least as bad as the one in the film, but absolutely no trace of rust!! I’m going to show the reassembly in the next film.

@@GreasyFingers I can't wait for this!

Thanks, mate. Yeap!

Hell, yes.

Thanks, Steve. The GTV is the one I introduced with the August film. The guillotine is a no name one from Amazon.

Really love your comment, man. In fact I used phosphoric acid during this very project, but I don’t feel experienced enough to really talk about it so I edited the part out. In this specific case it didn’t show any effect, but I generally believe it’s a good thing. I guess I have to learn the ropes …

Hi David, yeah, you know, these days in the news: during a manoeuvre of the Germany army 18 from 18 Puma panzers broke down. Football, tanks, … we’ve lost it all. 😆

@@GreasyFingers lol! Haha!

Thanks for commenting. Almost impossible to meet everyone’s taste with music. But I agree it was a bit of a risky choice this time.

Yes, you do!

Thanks, mate. Either that or make the owner clean her better.

so then the 993 is much better protected?

@@Laguna2013 Yes the 993 has plastic wheel well liners. The 911 did not really become ‘rust proof’ until the 996!

“Wet climates” in fact is a point that cannot be overestimated. I’m disassembling a California car these days and the state of all surfaces is an entirely different story.

Thanks, mate. In fact I did, but didn’t show it in the film, because the footage I had from it was really poor.

Thanks, Mike. Not so much into surgery. 😆

Oh yes, she is.

Danke, Dirk! Der GT steht noch eine Weile. Sobald ich wieder Zeit habe für die eigenen Autos, mache ich mit der Giulia weiter.

@@GreasyFingers OK,wenn du mit deiner Jule als nächstes weitermachst ist alles ok! Ich, undv vermutlich viele andere, auchf, reuen sich mächtigh auf weitere Alfavideos! Porsche ist "ok", aber Alfa Romeo.....!😇

Thanks, mate. I painted the insides with Inox spray (10:00) which is heat resistant paint. It will certainly receive some cavity protection too. Please see my video dedicated to this topic.

@@GreasyFingers great, thanks for the reply!

Thanks, mate. Welding galvanised steel, the zinc will vaporise and inhaling the fumes is very unhealthy. This can be handled in industrial production and for spot welding, but making large butt welded seams in a workshop is a different story. You now might say: the steel that the repair panel connects to is galvanised too and that’s a fact, but I sand it off at the outside before welding and the zinc at the inside hopefully can’t be inhaled that easily.

Amazon, video description … Thanks!

@@GreasyFingers I must be blind - I don't see a link in the description for Amazon?

@@dra911 O Dear, my friend, I’ve misguided you. I’ve introduced the links one film after the one you’re commenting to. Please see yesterday’s release to find the links.

@@GreasyFingers All good, I see it now thank you!

Thanks for commenting, Dennis. I painted the backsides with Inox spray, as you can see in the film. I will also apply the full Fluidfilm program to it. I do agree, however, to all you say. It cannot be left without protection.

I never heard about this. What is it?

Thanks, Oliver. I’ve called the customer in this weekend to decide. The upside to save it is that it’s really difficult to meet the exact shade of this metallic blue. The downside is it’s probably more costly to save it then to replace it.

Thanks, James. Backing strip? Tell me more …

@@GreasyFingers if room … cut a strip of metal approx 2-3cm wide, make the same profile as the repair panel and place behind the parent metal and the repair piece… behind the weld gap so it over laps (behind) each panel, weld as usual and it stops burn through, the backing strip becomes one with the weld 👍 You can use a piece of copper pressed behind the weld gap as well, the copper doesn’t fuse and is removed… again it stops burn through… its a good method for filling pin holes.

And the copper backing strip/block takes away heat. There are also industrial ceramic backing strips for sale. Regards from a former welder and weld inspector (NDT)

You don’t have to remove the fender. Just remove the wheel and the tube and see what’s behind. If you find dirt, clean it all up. If you want, you can send me a picture and we discuss what you found.

@@GreasyFingers thanks for the offer. it's actually stored so i'll have a look next time i see it. will keep you updated

Tell me more ..

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, Iwata LPH80.

@@GreasyFingers Is this the LPH80-104G?

It is!

@@GreasyFingers Thank you.

If it was Baltic Blue, I‘d have a huge problem now, but I’m pretty sure it is Prussian Blue. They released a different blue almost every year black then. Venice Blue looks similar too.

@@GreasyFingers i am an Alfa guy as well and so fortunate to live in California where we don’t have rust issues!

It wasn’t really harder. Just more of the usual stuff this time.

Good point, thanks for your concern!

Hi Scott, that’s an Anest Iwata lph 80.

Hi Kristian. Theoretically butt welding at high temperature might lead to the steel’s carbon to partly escape from the crystal lattice, reduce its tenacity and make it brittle. I personally think that this is very unlikely to happen if temperatures are kept reasonably low. The problem is: it’s not possible to find out whether the steel had to endure losses of significant amounts of carbon and other alloy elements during welding, so the mindset of bureaucracy requires you to forbid the whole thing. Since the entire TUV business had been privatised, I haven’t encountered much of the stubbornness of the old days and if you do your butt welding right, it’s invisible anyway.

@@GreasyFingers great answer - danke :)

Bad ones to your ears, I suppose. I got a very good offer for her after I released the film and even more importantly, it came from a very kind person. She stayed in the US. No more films to follow about Loretta. But be assured, I’m scanning classifieds already …

Willkommen, Andrew! Bleib von den Mädchen weg, sie sind gefährlich.

@@GreasyFingers HAHAHAHAH!! Vielen Dank für diesen Rat! LOL!

Man, I love this comment. Lemme publish it on Insta … 😆😆

@@GreasyFingers sure!

Ciao Fabio. Es gibt nur den einen, so viel ich weiß. Die Farbe kann man wählen. Die genaue Bezeichnung ist EP 100-20

@@GreasyFingers Ciao Johannes, danke für Deine Antwort. Ich benutze den selben EP aber in hellgrau 🙂. Gruß Fabio

Thanks, Christian. 😊

No, belongs to a customer.

Gebe jeweils mein bestes!

Do you think so?

A powerful ego is a positive thing. It’s even more powerful when combined with humbleness, but I’m sure you’ll find someone who will teach you.

Thanks, Kevin. Fender liners first appeared in the 964, that means early nineties.
