That 911 has lived a hard life. Rot ,18 layers of paint,patched metal,filler. Poor thing was abused. Kudos to whoever saving it they got some work to do.
There's a Swiss chap restoring a Datsun 240, and he used dry ice to easily remove the sound deadening on the floors. It worked like magic. He shovelled the dry ice in and the deadening shrank and completely broke the adhesion. Could save you some chiselling, if you didn't already know about it.
It’s funny the takes people have on this process. The shop get satisfaction from what he’s able to remove. The owner is appalled by what has been revealed.
Seems like that fiberglass has been trapping moisture and corroding the metal underneath! Nice video! For some reason I keep coming back to these, very satisfying to watch.
My guess is it sat out in the elements with a broken rear window for a while and got rusted out and then someone repaired/ covered it up with the fiberglass
Having restored a number of air cooled 911's, this one is well above average condition, for the age. Being a 1-year only body type, it is worthy of restoration!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I remember these cars. My friends dad bought one new. It always looked like it was going 100 mph even just sitting. Glad to see another old car being saved. Too many have been lost.
There are companies that sell replacement firewalls. So they'll probably cut the entire thing out and weld a new one in. It'd be WAY cheaper than paying a shop to fab and weld up a bunch of little patch panels. They only patch panels will probably be the seat buckets.
@@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi That rear valence panel where the speakers have been has to go. a YT channel I like is a guy called Brandon's Bus - he is doing a VW camper that was WAY WAY worse than this. Give it to him to sort out!
Theres one for sale here and it is ex UK. I looked because it was cheap. It was cheap for a reason. -- the entire bottom and front were like a lace doily because it had been driven on salted UK roads. Really sad. It as a fifteen footer - looked pretty good from 15 feet away.....

This comment made my day! Thanks buddy! I greatly appreciate that. Can’t wait to get some more videos out for you. I have an amx, Jaguar mk2, and 2 more Porsche 911 videos I just need to finish editing.
Dang you do alot of work, it's amazing how people fix cars with really lousy work. It always looks great when your done though. Except for the metal rot from years gone by. I don't miss any of your video's. Thank you !
Superb! It is quite an informative Vid, with rust holes and the previous owners solution! Not all your jobs are straight forward and easy. That one was brilliant!
I sent the body guy some progress pics before it was finished. He said he knew it was going to be bad but didn’t think it would be that bad. The roof was definitely a surprise. Sounded pretty bummed about it
Your videos are really satisfying ... like popping bubble wrap :) It would be great to get some follow up videos of the welding repairs etc further along in the process.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I’m definitely trying to get some stuff from the owners of the cars when they’re working on them. It’s proven to be pretty hard though. Not a lot of people follow through with it
I’d like to see the next step of restoring this type of car. Spraying all the rust preventatives, undercoat etc I know that’s not part of the remit here but it would be interesting to see what the restoring company who gets this does with it
Would have loved to see it tipped 90° and pressure washed on the undercarriage, see all the dirt and rust underneath, maybe some scraping or damage there also. Really cool seeing the first step of barebone restoration projects
That was a great video, loved it. Porsche is my favorite car. It would be awesome to see where the car goes from here. To see how well the sheet metal repair is done.
Great vid, Trevor ! A pleasure to watch. Putting of the glass fiber manually was very interesting. Waiting for your next vid ! Greetings and regards !!😊
I have a collision center and a Rod shop where we do a lot of restoration work and custom builds. I hate when we get cars from up north that have been ran over salted roads. They are all pretty much just parts and pieces of metal that is more rust than metal. . I have a good team of metal workers who can make pretty much anything from scratch but they still need a little bit of something to push them into the right way.
That is wild! Definitely had to put some time into that one! Someday I'd lover to have my 56 chevy done like that. Id be scared to see whats under the paint!!! The biggest issue is getting into every nook and cranny with primer in the car to be sure its sealed up completely for its life. Most cars went thru a dip in the factory later in the years when manufacturing was better.
We have a company we recommend called graber enterprises. They do full submersion ecoating of the whole car. It completely covers everything. Best way to go after a dip.
Hope the repaint it in that original yellow. Boy, after watching and seeing all the rot, they do have a bit of metal work to do. Hope they don't cheap out and do glass like the last person.
They are worth silly money these days, pre 73 outside oil filler cap models are king of the hill, nobody cheaps out on them anymore. Especially not after having it dipped.
*I don't know why, but this was one of the most enjoyable/ satisfying videos (yet) on your channel! Maybe because of that damn fiberglass that exposed so many rotten / cut pieces on that beauty. :)*
It was looking pretty grim for awhile but that was a reasonable solid car. If they can get a replacement pan for that rear section it doesn’t look like it needs a full floor replacement.
I think they'll bite the bullet and get the whole rear firewall, seats and parcel shelf pressing from Porsche Classic. Expensive but brings down welding and cutting time down to 20 hours. Pre 73 Porsches are silly money nowadays, so commercially it definitely makes sense. I always prefer slick tops for this reason, bought a beautifully looking E30 325 when I was a kid, drains were blocked, front inner sills and driver side floor gone. Yes I did a lot of welding .....
@stuartsharples9520 he always does, but with all the water and underseal flying, it doesn't make good video. He's shown it a couple of times, but basically, it's just water and muck on the lense.
No need to apologise, as far as I'am concerned. I think you and your team are doing a hell of a job, trying to save historical beauties. As you can never know beforehand what can of worms you'll be opening, it also must be somewhat satisfying (and sometimes disappointing) to see what eventually came out of the process. I love your work!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it! It is very satisfying for me to see the car down to bare metal. The surprises under the paint are my favorite part. I definitely do feel bad when people think their cars are in top condition and then they see something like this Porsche.
The reason for no rust is because it is completely zinc-treated, zinc-coated. Porsche did it in early years already. Audi some decades later did it also.
@peerpaulin8486 No prob. Years ago I looked into it thinking Porsche started Zinc baths well into 911 SC production. What I found was that they started pre '78 (suggesting '77 or so) with some cars. Whether it was all cars wasn't clear.
Boy that is going to be some serious time getting all of the rusty areas cut out and properly fixed. The fiberglass removal was great...shows what gets trapped under is too. As for the roof...I hope the rest of that brace is decent...but I like the boomerang🙂 You never disappoint...assuming this is a PNW native car...it is funny though that the main floors look as good as day one.
I know dry ice will remove that sound deadening material off the floor. Another channel "my mechanics:" is restoring a Datsun 240z and after leaving a layer of dry ice to freeze the floor, the 1/4" layer was basically lifed out in huge pieces.
wow. That was either done by the world's worst body shop or some guy in his garage. Probably the latter of the two. These videos are so satisfying though
Wear protective gear around those chemicals.My friend Jim did this his whole life at his dad's hot rod shop.Died of cancer from those chemicals.Heads up.
Good base for a proper restauration. After removing the mess of polyester filler and layers of different quality color, the amount of damage is minimal. Most of the Rust damage is under those Factory Sound and Vibration Minimizerpatches. That is absolutely common for that age due to the fact how Cars were manufactured in those Days. We can’t see the Underbody to give a final estimate of work that is necessary, but I hope the Restaurator will do a very professional Job. Nearly no Polyester, minimal Zinning, original Replacement Parts for the rotten Areas that have to be replaced. I would really love to see the finshed Body before Painting. 👍😎🇩🇪
Hey, love your videos. Can you do a video explaining the process? I couple of questions I have: 1. What kind of aklyin do you use and how does it dissolve some paints well, but not as well as your acid bath. 2. Are the acid/aklyine baths heated, as I see steam when you are dipping in either bath? 3. Do you have to flush and replace the baths each time? Or how many times can you use the same baths? 4. When doing the pressure washing, how do you collect/dispose of all the muck? Great videos to watch...keep them coming.

The fibreglass could have been put in to cover the corrosion. That is far more likely.
@@ManOfMonismboth are probably true. The fiberglass was used to patch the rust holes on the cheap and lead to more corrosion over time

the part on the roof that is rotted out is the sunroof drain, that has many 100's of hours of welding and bodywork ahead

Wow that looks so satisfying to do great job m8 💯👍🏻
I like seeing the 'boring' parts like dry ice on the layers of sound insulation and glue and scraping it out.
Cool stuff. For a few moments, the car had German camouflage, red, yellow and black in random swirly patterns.
The wheel arches were satisfying, the fiberglass seats were terrifying. great job though! (wonder if the owner knew about all this)
its been all colors of the german flag
What are those chemicals? How do you maintain them? Do you filter out the old paint? This is fascinating.
I read on car forums that dry ice helps on removing the floor insulation.

dry ice and a hammer also works great for removing sound deadening in cars, works pretty quick too

We all might be dead by the time it’s finished.
I've seen other restorers throw a bucket of dry ice pebbles onto that sound deadener and hit it with a hammer. Smashes it up like glass.
