Season Finale: Many Complicated Rust Repairs

Рет қаралды 20,554

Жыл бұрын

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've addressed a couple annoying rust spots under the front fenders that are very common with G-models.
In this final episode of the series I tackle more rust holes in the car's body, I also replace a side wall panel using a one-sided spot welding machine and do some blend paint jobs. Eventually, the wings are reinstalled and the car is finalized to go back on the road.
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.

Yes, YES! Phosphoric acid! 🎉😅 my favorite friend! What is the product? Rostfix? Most “rust converter” are garbage because all they do is seal the rust away from air and water. But that never lasts… I usually use pure phosphoric acid, but that’s annoying on vertical panels as it runs off and needs to be applied multiple times… I love the idea of that gel!! Quick question: isn’t grinding down the paint for the spotwelds risky? I would have said it would create a weak spot where bare metal is going to rust kinda soon?

@GreasyFingers Жыл бұрын

Thanks, mate. The name is Rostfix Gel. You’re definitely right about the bare metal‘s potential rust issues. Unlike with pliers based spot welding the one-sided tool requires blank surfaces. I’ve made sure it’s properly sealed with epoxy primer from both sides, so I guess I’m good.

Thanks, Kristian. Yes, there is a downside. In the one-sided mode, it just heats up the spot with the lowest resistance. Could be anywhere, not necessarily where the electrode is. I guess the main purpose is to connect small pieces to big ones like latches, brackets, etc. The machine as such as cool. It can also be equipped with a normal welding (pliers) gun and that of course is a much more reliable application.

I am a novice welder and I work on equipment that does not need to look pretty. Recently I welded together two pieces of stainless with a mig welder and regular steel flux core wire. Surprisingly it worked! The parts are strong and in service. This brings my question, could you weld stainless patches with stainless mig wire into vehicle bodies, creating a rust proof patch panel ?

@GreasyFingers Жыл бұрын

You’re raising a very interesting question here. In fact there’s one Porsche partly made of stainless steel. It was produced by a kitchen sink company as a marketing exercise and it’s part of the automotive exhibition of Deutsches Museum in Munich. I’ve spent some time researching this car and I think they must have spot welded stainless steel panels to normal ones. I’m not a welding expert myself, but I guess an entire seam of a stainless panel mated with a standard steel one would lead to a loss of strength and elasticity.

Hi there. The fit wasn’t too good to be honest, but on the other hand it also doesn’t make much sense to hope that body parts just fall in place. At cars of this period they generally need to be hand-fitted. The lift: move it as far to the non-column side as possible, about 5 cm before it’d hit the sill cover. Then adjust the non-column-sided braces, then the column-sided. Contact me on instagram if that doesn’t help …

Nothing wrong with rust converter. Yorkshire Car Restoration and Carter Auto Restyling put it best, you could cut out every bit of pitted metal on a rusty car. But at that point you're just moving the welds so far up and away from the original area that you're not leaving much for the next guy 20-30 years down the line. In other words, it'll do more harm long term, it's more time consuming and not cost effective, nor is it keeping the car as original as possible.
