Kicking Rust's Butt (Or Rust Kicking My Butt - You Be The Judge) Restoring a Classic Porsche 911 Pt6

Guess what, MORE RUST! This classic 1984 Porsche 911 is a minefield of rust and disaster! We went from a shiny red Porsche to one with no sills or rear arches! Rust definitely loves to hide!
We find yet more rusty bits on the structural tub of the car, but this is 1 step closer to getting this beauty back on the road!
We hand fabricate structural parts to this car and cut the sills off, but not before really bracing this car up to make sure nothing moves in the golden rust extraction process!

Love the new format with explanations. It’s amazing how much rust a supposedly “clean” car actually holds.

[@Afrodizyak47]

As always, this 78 yr old Aussie codger in Perth Western Australia, can sit down with a coffee and watch more amazing work. Oh how I admire the work at YCR and the professional "let's do it right first time" attitude and ability, Oh to be at least 60 yrs younger and having the ability or opportunity to do this as my chosen profession! Respect to you all and for the lessons in the respective processes. I wait every week for both your posts and those of Fitzee and Kyle Carter from Canada, as you make my day with cool old school professional work.

[@funkygibbonsdotnet]

I have watched a few series (started with Mat Armstrong) but the recent change to added voice overs is a game changer. Bravo!

[@sickboy481]

Loving the updated format, more voiceover, less music. Keep it up.

[@nicholasviney5975]

The owner must be crying into a beer after seeing these videos, Ryan showing the rust no mercy and no place to hide.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Can't hide from me!

[@smooth239]

I don’t think you “dodged a bullet” by taking the engine/gearbox (the weight) out before even investigating the common rust issues on the sills and kidney bowls, I’d call it professional knowledge. The amount of work you have stopped having to do to recreate door gaps, rooflines etc will result in a repair cost and time saving. Admirable work. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JackBealeGuitar]

You are an artist and magician. Watching your work is incredible

[@Michael-hg6ky]

I can't imagine the hours into this project.....You are incredibly skilled and extremely patient in fabricating this entire body and frame bit by bit.

[@TheFonz-AKAFonzy]

Great work particularly on that inner repair panel behind the rust bowl... I mean kidney bowl.

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

I love this channel. I will do this in my own garage some day. Thanks for doing all this great production work, the videos are like reading a novel

[@alexbrown1995]

Many years ago a mate fell in love with an early 911 and bought it without having it thoroughly inspected. Came around to show it off and we went for a ride. It was winter and he turned the heater on. The air in the car filled with rust flakes belching out of the vents. Cost him an enormous amount to get sorted. He wasn't happy, for some reason.....

[@russthebiker]

Fantastic workmanship as usual, this car is going to be great when its finished, that Lazer is out of this world, the way it noshes the rust out like it eats it for dinner , wow

[@jesscourt9068]

If i were the owner of this i would be having kittens by now. However this is all about integrity, and this gives a perfect example. Not just the fact the guys are not hiding anything,but the structure underneath the lipstick and makeup is kept to factory and above. From the initial assesment i guess it escalated, but you always end up pouring money into things you fall in love with. The main thing is that finished, it will look the Mutts nuts again, but the owner knows it is sound. Good investment using one of the best companies you could employ. Love the new format emerging too.

[@tigersupercat]

Definitely agree on the new format, for the non restoration people amongst us (me included) makes it easier to follow along. but yes it does show that a shiny surface can reveal all sorts of horrors underneath.

[@ideabrickworks9043]

The best you can say is this car is better than the white one! Great work!

[@mrc7478]

Every home should have a Zac laser product.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I know Jack about repairing cars but I enjoy watching someone who does , ply his trade . Cracking vid sir , I was engrossed 👏 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@anthonywhitlock9246]

Amazing as always , it’s quite scary how much rust can be found lurking underneath the panels of what would appear a reasonably good vehicle .hmmm wonder if I’m driving around in a death trap. That laser cleaner is a fantastic bit of kit certainly makes your job a it easier, keep up the good work Ryan

[@Finne72]

The Porsche did not look bad at all before you started. I like the way you handle it, no shortcuts, no mercy. I remember how I saved a friends VW T4, it started small but then it turned mental...now five years later it is still rustfree.

[@bangkokballer4103]

It’s a shit box… the body is done. Old cats…

[@d.c.Jones70]

Just imagine what it’s like for the owner watching it.

[@De132an]

Wow, I can’t believe how rusty this 911 was. That plus your skill is phenomenal!

[@deankdx]

there's a term i haven't heard for a while, RUST YOU CAN SEE, TIMES THREE (3 times the amount of visible rust)

[@7732147]

Badabingbadaboom. Nice one Ryan. Loving the voice overs you handsome beast you!!!

[@user-uv8ti9kd6k]

Brilliant work as always... love the editing, music, information 👌 awesome job, mate 👍 looking forward to seeing her transformation.. watching from Australia 🇦🇺

[@steveworth544]

What a fantastic video, great explanations (both live and added later), Great music. The way you go about everything....wonderful and thank you.

[@MS940]

Nice 911 seems to be master of hiding all the rust. Lots of similarities in design I faced with my beetle. Those heater tubes create inviting condition for the rust.

[@TopsieT]

Must be in real close comms with the owner througout, it's a whole other level above your garage ringing up because you need new discs as well as the pads you sent it in for 😂 As always, absolutely amazing to watch. Genuine artwork.

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

Majestic Porsche had a lot of secrets.

[@d.c.Jones70]

The thing is after watching this series or anything on Colin Furze BMW I will never be able to look at nice shiny classic without wondering what lies beneath 😂😂😂

[@VDHandcrafted]

Porsche owner: I’ll take my car to YCR for some light rust repairs. YCR: Yeah, right! 😅

[@user-di4kv9yk3g]

i would normally describe a car in this condition as a teabag, yep full of holes and don't hold water amazing work, always the way in any restoration, every piece you cut away reveals more issues but that laser, wow, amazing witchcraft, i'm sure i have seen this before somewhere cleaning other things, hmmm sure it was a slightly secret military application perhaps on the Master Milo channel, mind the direction you point it, don't catch the paper alight around the dash, that be instant fire ball makes you wonder who and how they discovered this, by accident, wonder just how long this is effective for, but i guess by applying the rust inhibitor the metal should be good for another 20 years, and i swear by the almighty zinc products too and the weld through primer, excellent stuff

[@leofabbro456]

You did it Ryan.

[@DinitrolUK]

Love it!👏👏

[@putinisgod6814]

You should change the he badge at the front from Porsche to york as this is now basically a full car build

[@kazstrankowski8721]

Great techniques! I had to do a similar job on my 911, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as this example :)

[@davepriddy9263]

That laser tool is pretty cool.

[@markhowlett8070]

Outstanding job sir.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you!

[@ToreDL87]

Porsche? More like Porous 🤣 Crazy good work as usual, only pointer I can make is you might as well fabricate Porsche and BMW specific box section jigs that you bolt into the interior to keep the car stiff (and in alignment from the get-go now that I think about it, 2 birds with one stone).

[@PastimeClassicCarRestorer]

Fantastic videos, look forward every week. You have taught me bundles, have just brought an Austin to teach my self some fabrication skills. What do you use for rust treatmen as I have seen you spray something on the rust, just wondered what you use...................keep up the great work.......all the best ...Lee

[@ripkirby4872]

Would it have made more sense to keep the ash tray and scrap the rest? Assuming the ash tray survived!

[@davidcoates9123]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[@fredygump5578]

I was wondering when he was gonna let you use the laser! Sounds like you got it figured out with the different patterns and all.

[@user-bw3us9kz6j]

Very impressed with the workmanship 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you!

[@windronner1]

The only thing that amazes me more than the absurd places the rust occurs. Is the quality of the technical fabrication to correct. But didn’t Porsche start galvanizing all their 911 Carrera in a 8000° zinc bath since 1978? How the hell Can a Porsche have this much rust in such bizarre crevices, seams and panels?

[@ernstleib317]

[@davidjowett8195]

Did that car drive in? It's a death trap, or was. Great work and loving the commentary.

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Great work Ryan as always. if I was in the market for a classic car, I'll make sure never to buy a Porsche 911. I've been watching this and the white one, both of which looked like decent cars at the start and both of them turned out to be rot boxes. We haven't seen the Disaster Datsun for some time now, what's going on there?

[@geraldhahn2473]

I like your restoration videos very much. Especially the Porsche videos are interesting for me as I am owning an 85' Carrera myself. But your videos make me also a bit nervous...🥴 When you disassembled the seats I missed the switches for the height adjustment until I saw that they are placed at the tunnel side of the seat. This seems to be not original. At least in my left-hand driven Carrera the switches are at the door side of the seats but not at the tunnel side. Has the owner mixed up the driver and passenger seat?

[@joeyhenry3946]

This guy needs deep pockets 😂😂

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

😅

[@jbaet]

I fell kind of sorry for the owner. I think he was prepared for this outcome, but hoping that it would be a quick fix. Now he's going fast towards a full restoration...💸💸💸

[@DavidBeckett-yz7tw]

I think the owner may have thought the car was “reasonable” as it looked like that on the out side BUT do think they may have suspected it was not great under the skin hence sending it to Ryan/Steve at YCR good luck guys

[@patrickvansimaeys7604]

I'am waiting for vidéo number 7

[@terry6131]

Curious question. With the laser, you can clean the parts the beam hits, in the areas behind the pipe, could you use a mirror to clean behind the pipe?

[@walterbieniek9802]

I bet you really love RUST, nice job you did today.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thanks so much!

Alright mate. I’ve got a project Porsche as well. Got a bit of of rust issues. Your videos brilliant and inspiring me to get crack on with my car. What’s the gauge of the sheet steel you are using to make the patch panels ? Cheers

Theses are heater pipes which conduct warm air from the rear engine to the front footwells and the windscreen.

Hi, do you think a laser machine like that (300W pulsed) is a good alternative for sandblasting a whole body? Seems to go quite quick, does it remove paint easily too? Sand blasting always creates a lot of mess to clean up.
