Priming Shmee150's Financial DISASTER - Classic Porsche 914 Restoration

[@Shmee150]

To think where this has already come from, just immense! Patches is no longer patchy, and soon, it's going to be roaring down the roads. Thank you for all your continued hard work to save this car from the scrap yard and turn it into something really special.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It's come such a long way this car. A very enjoyable journey! One we definitely didn't expect to be as bad! But it adds to the fun. We are really looking forward to handing those keys over for a first drive!!!

[@SuperNoviceDriver]

Love the red air coooled Porsche in the background You guys are like artists with sheet metal it's amazing to see you working on this car

[@colinlawrence7284]

I was shocked to hear you casually say I'm going to cut out a perfectly good piece of metal so you can keep "patches" as a memento, but then you used your skills to cut and form a new panel and replace it like new again!

[@georgeclements2742]

I had the same thought, but then I remembered that the panel with 'PATCHES' ground into it was covered with thick filler. It would have needed to be taken back to bare metal and reshaped , so cutting it out and making a new panel wasn't unreasonable.

[@brynowen9922]

Big milestone getting some sealer on the car, great stuff!

[@colinlawrence7284]

Some months ago this car was bent like a banana, it was a rust bucket and had more filler than it had metal and it was dangerously out of alignment and now after many, many, many hours of painstaking work its restored to its former glory....hats off to you guys. P.s. not forgetting there was the making of the rotisserie and the cutting out of the metal patches panel to keep as a memento

[@samperras]

That scene where the 3 brothers are in the shot Priceless!!

The “Patches” patch has been dispatched. 😂

[@gregorysmith6073]

I'm so invested with this ridiculous car lol I can't stop watching this stuff. Tim could have bought a brand new Porsche by the time he's done restoring this one.

[@Audimad52]

Won't be costing Tim a penny.

[@Mercmad]

If it were the desirable 916 I would have said it was financially viable but there comes a time in resto work where the money spent means you go on or die.

[@colinlawrence7284]

Bearing in mind hundreds of hours have been spent on restoring and replacing rusty metal it's maybe because of that particular piece of metals sentimental value that can be kept/framed for the sake of a couple of extra hours of work for Ryan

[@DrMoleDar]

I'm curious how dry ice cleaning would compare to laser cleaning know they both have pros and cons, and it could be fun comparison to what each is capable of, i know lasers consume a lot of electric so maybe dryice more cost effective for smaller companies who knows 🤷‍♂️ 🤔 😂 great progress though thhis has really come long way in few month's 😮🎉

What good does etching primer do if the surface is already sealed with the epoxy primer?

[@garydowzall6592]

Precisely. Etch primer is also porous where as another layer of epoxy primer is not.

[@Retiring34]

Yes,forget the etch,just use epoxy for corrosion prevention then 2k high build.

[@torhenrikhernes899]

What about dipping it at this stage? Get rid of all that rust inside where you cant see.

[@jwalster9412]

This car shows why it is important to do preventive maintenance, especially on classic cars that (a lot of the time) didn't factor in weather, rust proofing, road salt, and snow.

RC900 is not epoxy. its not water proof, its mainly a rust stabiliser. I would have sprayed epoxy over it after roughing and degreasing.

[@matthewjenkins1161]

That is not what Dinitrol claim, "DINITROL RC900 is a rust converter based on organic chelate complex combined with epoxy resin. It actively converts the rust on the substrate into a stable organic iron complex. When the product dries, it forms an impenetrable barrier to further corrosion. "

[@tonystanley5337]

@@matthewjenkins1161 Hmm it cannot be a linked polymer film though, the only things that are impenetrable need 2 parts, at the very least need to be moisture curing. Like Rust encapsulator, 2 part epoxy paint, 2 part isocyanate coatings. Having epoxy particles in solvent matrix is not moisture proof.

Brilliant as always gentlemen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@kinomiraru]

I've watched videos about these laser cleaners so many times, and they're all kind of useless. The cost is monstrous, the size and weight are huge, and they're less useful than a $50 stripping machine. Edd China cleaned a Range Rover frame with such a laser on his channel, and he kept raving about what a beast of a machine it was, but in the end, six months later, it turned out that they spent several dozen hours cleaning it, didn't clean a damn thing, and took the frame to be sandblasted. These lasers are a waste of money.

[@Ragnar8504]

I kind of get weird vibes too. It looks like they're an enormous sponsoring deal, almost like the various battery packs that were doled out like candy a while ago (BlueYeti, Jacka$$ery, EcoBlow and whatever they're called). Only one of the KZbinrs I follow actually said his was garbage and broke within a few months, all the others kept raving on how great they were. I tend to get a bit suspicious if manufacturers blow an insane amount of money on sponsorship for new products.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

I understand your views and opinions, however in this video it shows solid evidence that the laser works. Can't argue with results right? Simple.

[@russthebiker]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration They use them in the aircraft industry near me, so they do the job

[@ComplicatedStuff]

Agreed, if it was as good as they say it is then why don’t they de-paint and de-rust the whole body and suspension parts? I’ve been looking into renting a laser machine but costs were ridiculous and I couldn’t find examples of finished work so went for the good old sandblasting instead.

[@fredericr.247]

[@paulcurran8006]

What did you use to paint the running gear?

[@nigelbostock4270]

That lazer is mesmerising to watch !

[@stephenyoud6125]

Regarding Primer and rust treatment: If the RC900 treats the rust and leaves an epoxy coating, I see no reason to apply etch primer over it. Epoxy already has good adhesion (that’s why its used as an adhesive and for corrosion protective coatings like bridges). Whereas Etch primer should be applied to clean bare metal as the Phosphoric acid reacts with the metal surface ‘etching’ itself to the metal (see images of World War Two aircraft lifted from lakes and the se and witness the yellow and green colour of the then used Zinc chromate etch primer used to protect the Aluminium alloy. After using the RC900 I would overpaint with an appy primer (2 component maybe). But when grinding and polishing back to bright metal like on the Disaster Dad/son then I’d use the Etch primer, or as you did here the RC900 to convert any small unseen traces of surface rust.

[@_-000-_]

How ironic, you cut out a perfectly good bit of metal with the word patches written on it to replace it with yet another patch. Not sure I understand why?

[@derSchenns]

Wouldn't it be easier and more effective to chemically remove paint and rust from the body? when you calculate your working hours?

Please don't take this as a criticism, and I know I've mentioned it before but please reconsider chemical dipping, neutralisation and passivation because the time you spend cleaning off undersea, filler rust is time wasted.
