thank you for coming back to watch another episode on my Porsche 911
restoration project this week the paint prep continues notice how I didn't use
the S word I'm actually warming up and getting in the right mindset to do a
painting bodywork and I want to get all the way around the car before I can do
all the bodywork around the car I need to put the fenders back on but before I
put the fenders back on I need to treat some of these exposed areas in the inner
fender area and also underneath the fenders some of the undercoating was
disturbed with the modifications I made so I'm going to be tackling those
projects because it makes sense to do it now stay tuned
damn okay to start with this area right here has been temporarily primed with
some rattle cam primer this is where I removed the impact bumper brackets and
there was a ton of spot welds that have been you know sort of scarred and then
some what some of the ones that I went through were filled up so I'm going to
just do a real quick spot blast on this section to get it absolutely clean and
then I'm gonna put on some real epoxy primer so this never rust again
okay I knew there were no holes in this panel because I had to touch up a few of
these with the TIG welder okay I've gone over this with the wax and grease
remover and I have also feathered out the under coated edges with some some
coarse paper some leftover paper I had from the the filler so it's ready to
paint now instead of breaking out the spray gun for this small area I am just
gonna use a very cheap brush and first coat is kind of light and then I really
start to to build it up on the second and third coats so that this has some
good protection so nice thing about a brush is you can really work it into
areas like these upside down areas there's a couple grinding marks here so
I can work it into those holes and just you know really push it around so I
actually I actually like this brush method the trick is just don't put it on
too too heavy especially the first coat so I'm trying to trying to spread it out
so any brush marks are not critical here because well a it's gonna flow out
pretty well to where they're almost invisible and B this is gonna get under
coated okay I'm going around and checking for any bit of under coating
that will come off with a scraper if it looks correct or it is you know flaking
off then I'm gonna replace it but the goal is not to strip the whole car and
redo the undercoating I mean this is not a show car so I just want to get it
preserved
I'm just washing epoxy primer into those crevices so it can wick its way in
between that hollow metal okay this is a very light coat here on the rail of
epoxy primer you can see the brush marks and it's real thin I just try to do the
first coat real thin and pull here which is for some some washer clamps I think
I'm in a weld that close I left that open
I found another hole right here which I'm going to weld a plate over because
I'm not using the factory fuel filler and I just touched up this area right
here I tried to feather the undercoating a little bit with my da sander so I have
a better chance of blending this in so there's no more bare metal showing in
this section I got two coats now on the front bumper bracket area I'll come back
with at least another one or two coats on these rails to make sure they're
fully rust proof and then of course I'm gonna weld this and put some more epoxy
primer over that and also I have to put the the break tab back on those those
pieces well the welders back out again
okay before I fill up this gas tank hole I'm going to take a rod in a piece of
towel and try to coat the back side of this weld I just did right here for that
screw hole and also the the plate that was welded on the inside for the shock
tower this is a hollow cavity and so I'm it'll just loaded up with epoxy primer
so I've been doing this all over the car and I just take a piece of wire this is
bailing wire with a loop on the end and then I just wrap a like a terry cloth
towel around the end and then I zip tie it on the loop is there so that you
don't end up losing the towel inside the hidden cavity which could cause even
more trouble this is even smaller this is a q-tip wrapped around the end
this plate is a very lightweight plate it's only a cover
I only welded it in in these four places I don't see a real need to go all the
way around it on this I'm gonna be filling it with epoxy primer and also
treating it with the epoxy primer on the back side so I can just use the epoxy
primer and seam sealer around this and call it good there's no sense putting a
lot of heat and distortion into this it's good enough for a cover
okay now I'm watching a video of myself so I know where to put this brake
bracket back on goes right there so it's in this orientation and it's right at
the height of that hump
and there we go it's not too bad I'm just gonna grind the tops of those welds
off and then get ready to put some more primer on that yeah I've just covered
the car in plastic because I'm gonna switch gears now to work on the fender I
do need to put some primer on that new brake bracket or the one I reweld it
back on and also that cover so when I mix up some more primer for this I'm
just gonna put it on that okay here's my passenger fender and the exterior has
been stripped and treated with epoxy primer and it's looking okay everything
is sound but the inside needs the same kind of treatment you know this is the
area here where I put the I filled in the gas filler that's an antenna hole
that was filled in from the outside I need to fill on the inside as well and
then over here is all the backdate parts so this was done
you know quite some time ago and also modified up here in the turn signal box
area so this needs to be blasted and treated on the backside with epoxy
primer so all these details guys really take a lot of time you know this is
another detail that was missed when I made this bracket I was supposed to make
a bracket that sort of closes this out like the factory did and this is kind of
the the you tube way I mean sometimes I'm bending time you know finishing
before the weeks over I have to spend time editing and these things get
forgotten but it's I can't forget it anymore because this has to be finished
before I can get painted and that's what's holding me back this week is just
a lot of details about you know just getting things ready inside and out for
paint it takes time
okay that is just the very first pass of the heavy you know degreasing so you can
see the the factory tan under color under coat color is coming through and
there's still some dirty spots like down deep in these divots there still more
cleaning to be done but this is a good start there's a couple areas like right
here this this needs to be treated because there's like a rock chip or
something hit this and it's starting to come apart so I can peel this a little
bit with my finger now and that's a rusty you know metal underneath there so
stuff like that needs to be fixed this is kind of interesting this is like a
like it looks like a smear when they were putting the undercoating on they
might have flicked it or something and created a low spot I also found another
hole here this is on the bottom of the fender right where the rocker panels
attached are those those trim pieces there's a little tiny hole right there
okay I've ripped out all of the factory seam sealer in this area this section is
hollow so you can access it through here so I ripped it all out I've treated all
this area with you know the wire wheel and also scuffed it with the 80 grit so
that's ready for epoxy primer there are a few areas here on top that are are
pitted here's some here's some pitting right here so I'm going to take this
outside and I'm gonna you know spot blast it maybe you can see right here
there's a little bit more pitting so I will try to pull most of these dark
areas out with the spot blaster but before I take it outside for blasting
I'm going to weld this hole right here remember this is the antenna hole I
welded the outside and it's smooth now I'm going to weld the inside
okay there's that whole welded up I ended up using compressed air to kind of
keep it cool instead of the aluminum plate second thought it's not super flat
it's a little bit bulged up right here but I don't really care I can't get to
the backside to plan a shat flat this is inner panel I really don't care if it's
distorted and there's the backside I didn't have anything any heat marks come
through so that that's nice and I was able to touch it it didn't even feel
that hot and then here's the backside of this whole welded up there's the front
side of that hole I just TIG welded it shut so I'm gonna grind that smooth and
move on okay everywhere there is a clip the
undercoating was failing so I had to wire brush it back until it stopped
flaking off but everywhere there was a bolt hole or attachment clip that's
where the rust is starting to come in
getting back inside now and this has been completely cleaned on the backside
spot blasted I hit some areas up here just a little bit of pitting in these
whole areas so now it's ready to wipe it down rough it up again with some
sandpaper and get ready for epoxy primer also I taped up this seam because the
last thing I want to do is is packs and up into this closed cavity I didn't
really sandblast in this area but any sort of debris that I might get in this
way I definitely didn't want to going in that patch or into that hollow cavity
okay I'm gonna let that primer sit for a little bit so we can really mix in the
two parts mixed together into one so this week has been a lot of details kind
of got bogged down in details you know in my mind I had thought I would have
gotten both fenders done and on the car and blocking across the gaps but the
reality is there was a few things left unfinished and this work just takes time
it would have been easy for me just to pressure wash the underside of this car
and throw a new coat of undercoating on it but that's just that's just not me I
mean I realize this probably isn't the most inspiring video that I've done but
this is the reality about you know not taking shortcuts and I guess the message
for you this week is don't be afraid to do it right and for me that was you know
taking out the old seam sealer getting in all the nooks and crannies removing
the rust treating it with epoxy primer and feeling confident about driving this
in the ocean air someday soon so thanks again for watching I'm gonna put that
primer on and be coming out over the weekend just to put coat after coat
after coat on but thanks again for watching please don't forget I'll have a
link in the description or on my website auger ROG time com please pick up some
shirts and support the channel thank you very much
now I'm using gravity in my in my favorite this time so I can get epoxy
primer down into this hollow cavity
just lifting it up so we can drip out the bottom - there it is dripping out
I'm gonna do this multiple times so I don't need to try to kill it all in one
there that looks dripped out
kind of see how the stuff is dripping right there in the hemmed area right
right like a seam sealer would I really like epoxy primer in this situation
because it's gonna dry really hard and it's gonna keep this scene protected
from the elements that's just one coat here it's kind of kind of sporadic but
this is going to do the job I hope
take care
