Thanks! She’s good, waiting for me to have time to continue the project. Probably from April on she’ll be back on the channel.

Hello Fernando. I see your point and I think it’s worth a thought. Do you know the films of Jethro and Geoffrey? And the Australian guy with the Ferrari engine? I trinkt they all touched on the problem. If it was my car: I’d put it on the ground using four jacks that simulate the suspensions and a couple of cement bags to simulate the loads. Cheers Johannes

@@GreasyFingers Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, I do know of them and looked up the espisodes related to adjusting the doors on a GTV. I think I answered my own question. I realized that I had installed mounting points for a full bolt-in rollcage with the all the suspension and wheels on the ground. If I put the roll cage back in and bolt-it-up the body will be in the same alignment as it was with the suspension and wheels. This will be as close as I can get to mimicing the final suspension set up when adjusting the doors.

Thanks for commenting, I’m definitely sure you have skills!

Thanks, mate. Send my regards to the sun!

Thanks for commenting. Walter has received a clear coat, so I think he won’t fade out.

Yes. And the colour!!!

Danke! Ja, ich liebe meine Werkstatt.

Danke!

Thanks, mate!

Thanks, mate. Glad you like it.

I’d go with a 924 or 944

Danke, Fabio! Du findest den Link zur spray gun in der Beschreibung meiner letzten Filme.

@GreasyFingers Danke Johannes 😄

@@GreasyFingers Hallo Johannes, danke für deine rasche Antwort. Habe die Iwata LPH 80 gefunden. Ich verarbeite auch Mipa EP 100-20 und wollte dich noch fragen mit welcher Düsengrösse du arbeitest. Mit besten Grüssen Fabio

Good day, mate. The sensor is placed at the left side of the gear box, it’s easy to reach. Note there is a plug under the rear seats, left side. Some say the plug is as much a source of problems as the sensor itself.

@@GreasyFingers Thanks for the reply, I think they mounted a speed sensor in the wrong gearbox, from what I know there are 3 types and they have a different count of teeth in the gear. in my case, having the Jaegher dashboard, there should be a control unit between the speed sensor and the dashboard that generates pulses that are decoded and sent to the speedometer, like in the younger sister Alfa 75 known abroad with the name of Alfa Milano. I should actually mount an additional control unit to correct the speed in the dashboard, when I go at 50km/h the speedometer reads over 100km/h. do you know? I wanted to ask for confirmation before dismantling something, given that in these dated cars it is very easy to break or damage something. thanks in advance.

@@Boss-LMI‘m sorry, but I don’t know. What you say, however, sounds very plausible.

A couple of films are coming about my current 944 Turbo project.

Thank you! The reason for putting the concrete walls there: right behind the building a steep slope begins, about 15 meters high, resulting from a former sand pit. I wanted to protect the building from rocks coming down which happens from time to time.

Schön, wenn Dir meine Filme gefallen! Viel Spaß mit Deinem 2.7er. Ich mag den Motor sehr gerne.

@GreasyFingers Zum glück hat er ein 3.0... biss'l mehr unter der haube 😀

😆😆

Thanks, mate!

Thanks, mate & cheers for your project!

Thanks for commenting, Colin. I lost interest in it after I had learned how to get good results. Ever since I had a good plater, but now he seems to be retiring, so I might pick it up again soon.

Thanks, Remco. Long time no hear!

@@GreasyFingers Got a lot to do. Learning the very basics of machining on my tiny little lathe...

@ Nice! I have one of those too, biggest things to put in would be 20 cm.

Thanks, mate! Getting started is the most difficult part. ☺️

Hi Stephen. I still own her and she’s waiting for her time to come. Life’s complicated at times.

Thanks!

Fingers crossed for your Merc projects! Doing it yourself is by far the best idea to get great results.

Thanks! The experiences with the lift are very good, chief among them that you can move the car around while on the lift. Only disadvantage is that the undercarriage is rather high, with low cars being difficult to drive over it.

Thanks, Charles. Fluid Film is lanolin-based, I don’t think it will harm paper material, but to be sure, I’d try in the open. As much as I know, Porsche has permanently modified the position of these holes. Just try to find all of them and use the tube to find out into which cavities they bring you.

@@GreasyFingers Thanks, I'm more concerned with odor in the cabin when the heat is on. Have you noticed a change? The 4 outside holes in the floor pan of my 73 enter the inner rocker area. There's also oval slots inside the cabin that open to the same area. I have the inner rocker panels removed therefore have multiple ways to prime & protect. Thanks again for posting your process.

@CharlesLArbez Oh yes, absolutely. The lanolin is quite smelly. If you don’t like that, it’s not the right product for you.

@@GreasyFingers Thats good to know. I've only tested the aerosol version & didn't find it too smelly. I may rely on epoxy under the heater tubes & apply Fluid Film just to the "Hot Spots" as you call them. This should also reduce the leakage I assume you can expect on hot days. Thanks again, Charles

Thanks, mate. Yes, dogs hair!

@@GreasyFingers my pleasure, instead of visiting the local art gallery in san diego, I watch your metal work as a form of shaping metal vs marble

Danke, Sven. Ich habe große Freude damit.

Cheers, mate!

That is such a cool story, mate. Thanks for commenting! Could you meet her?

Hi there. I’m not sure whether I understand ?

@@GreasyFingers The round clips you ordered from Amazon!

@@GreasyFingers Could you give me the Amazon link to the round clips you used to re-assemble the covers please?

Well, maybe not a superstar. 🤩

Me too. This one’s my place of work. 😬

Almost as sweet. 😆

Thanks for commenting, mate!

Glad you like them, mate! ☺️

Thanks! Yes, hot water and a strong industry degreaser.

Thanks, mate. I wasn’t planning to go a tutorial, just tried to entertain. 😁

Great day for you. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, Alfa and rust … a never ending story. If I stand under the car and imagine all those seams being exposed to salt … 🙄

It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? You expect Annie around every corner. 😆 Thanks!

Bring it in

@@GreasyFingers Where are you located?

Germany. If you leave today you can make it till end of next week. It’s probably the temperature it crankshaft sensor.

Dekadenz ist was schönes. Aber ernsthaft: zwischen November und März kannst Du hier ohne Heizung nicht arbeiten.

Thanks, Mathew!
