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.

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

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😊

@@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.

@GreasyFingers
@GreasyFingers Жыл бұрын
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 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.
