Porsche 928 Episode 137 - Bad Rust….

[@MD-318]

Hi Todd, It was me who asked you about the lenses. I'll take both if I can as I have an old 928 rear pannel which I'm going to set the lights up on the garage wall. Also, that looked like structural rust holding that back panel on 🤣 Many thanks

[@MrToddgibbs]

Ah yes. Ok sure - let’s arrange on email. Looking at replacing the entire rear panel at the moment…

What an amazing job, you are doing, hello from Madrid, that car had nothing in good condition, all rusted and broken, that cat is going to look just like brand new, keep Up the great job

[@MrToddgibbs]

Thank you. Yes, it was a bit rough…. But it’s been a great learning project. Thanks for watching

Don't forget the pads that go under the hinges. It would be a good idea to download the 928 PET so you have parts diagrams.

[@MrToddgibbs]

Hi Jeff, yes I use the parts diagram a lot. I’ve only put it on temporary but will get new pads when I reassemble after spray

[@jeffhammond8969]

@ it's been a godsend as I work on my 944 and 968. Not always 100%, but way better than guessing!😁

[@MrToddgibbs]

@jeffhammond8969 totally. I prefer it to the WSM

[@karl7910]

Good idea to get a original maybe Used spare part. What a unexpected surprise. Good luck and thx for the journey

[@MrToddgibbs]

Thanks Karl. You mean to repair the rust? Hoping to get info on it soon

[@karl7910]

Yes,to repair the rust

Shouldn't you put some etching primer over the bare metal? Seems like leaving bare metal exposed to a damp environment isn't a good idea.

[@MrToddgibbs]

Hi Terry, yes, I should really. The garage is dehumidified and Im rushing along so I can get it to the spray shop quickly for priming.

Hey buddy. My 91 GT will start and then immediately stall out. Then, start it again and it will run fine. Turn it off for 20 minutes and the same thing happens again. Start..stalls out and then a restart will start it and it runs fine. WTF? Any ideas?

[@MrToddgibbs]

Hi Paul, thanks for the message - could be a number of things (and Im no GT expert). I dont want to guess and send you down the wrong path - post on the Rennlist forum. Lots of experts there :)
