Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic 1972 Porsche 911 prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!
It is a 3 step process
Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover
Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid
Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor
The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

[@garyjonah22]

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.

[@Sir_Leelord]

my mechanix, one of the best

[@lnfinitehealth]

lol, he is literally in my recommended after watching this video

[@TYSuggested]

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.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Yeah I think you’re right. Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. I’ll keep the videos coming!

[@ManOfMonism]

The fibreglass could have been put in to cover the corrosion. That is far more likely.

[@Stout936]

​@@ManOfMonismboth are probably true. The fiberglass was used to patch the rust holes on the cheap and lead to more corrosion over time

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

That's a pretty good shell. Here in the UK most of the car would look like the rear floors normally!

[@gpr8695]

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 !

Great video again Trevor. Me and the wife watch them all and we both love them.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

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.

[@CS-oe8og]

This was a great video, you definitely took your time and showed more of the process. It was in way worse shape than I thought…

[@guitarcheology]

I wonder how the owner felt when he saw his bad it really was. At least it has taken a giant step forward with the removal of all the rust.

[@minute_of_dangle]

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

[@jacklav1]

Odd places to get rust. Normally the sills go early.

The real meaning of a bare metal restoration . I never mess with a car with sunroof for a reason!

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.

[@marcusott2973]

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.

[@ryanl8653]

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!

[@johnkelly6942]

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.

[@peerpaulin8486]

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.

[@richardmartinez4145]

Not till the mid/late 70's

[@peerpaulin8486]

@@richardmartinez4145 Thanks for clarification.

[@richardmartinez4145]

@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.

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.

[@minute_of_dangle]

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.

[@Mrflash222006]

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

[@trickyfocus]

I was wondering how that could happen

[@marcusott2973]

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]

Does the bottom part of the car get pressure washed…🧐

[@marcusott2973]

@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.

[@martinhoward1802]

Would it take less time to repair if the owner chose to delete the sunroof?

[@aaron_r6611]

with the sound deadening, i believe the best way to get that off is to freeze it with dry ice pellets then scrape it off

[@3-body-problem]

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.

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.

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.
