Corrosion Protection of Classic Porsche 911 

Great episode, sir. Took a lot of over spray in the face, I expect you won't rust either.

Very good video again! When protecting my Alfa this way, I did put a piece of colored tape around the tube a couple of centimeters from the nozzle. This to avoid the spray in your face every time the nozzle pop’s unexpectedly out of the hole.

Nice work... I put a tape near the nozzle so I know when it almost comes out...

OH MY GOD!!!!! I had my car in the restoration/changes shop about 4 years ago getting lots of things done for a year, and while they were mucking about they found a couple of places where there was rust, and they cut out the decay and welded in new metal at the spot. Then just last week when I had my Carrera at my new mechanic shop it was on the lift waiting for suspension parts to arrive. Dan the owner of the shop didn't mind me coming over and very very slowly looking at everything under my P- car. Most shops would not let you do this. I went on several different occasions to see the progress of the suspension and so other upgrades. How many P-car owners have ever had a chance to be under their car as long as they wanted? The second I was other there all 4 tires were off the car and I looked where the jack hole is and then toward toward where the driver's seat is and there it was... FKING rust eating my metal slowing like 50 metal-eating ants in one spot. One of the sports you brought up in this video. I am not one to be awed by HUge work projects/problems but the corrosion program you have is SO eloquently and succinctly said and showed; it's far beyond my comprehension... even if someone else would be doing the work ($$$$$$$). It's just TOO FKING much to comprehend. In 15 years I will be 92 yrs. old. My wife and I have no kids, my brother has no kids and never will, same with my wife's brother, and none of them care a hoot about cars. So do I pick the current number from the machine and wait for a time when my car MIGHT have a chance to see my mechanic and stop the corrosion ? I owe it to my car, but how long will they even let these older cars be on the road (you can see I am starting to rationalize the situation). Don't get me wrong, EVERYTHING you said and did in this video is SO right it is just "what will I do with that information?" Instead of getting a number -which is a metaphor not an actual thing at Dan's shop- I will put a sticky tag on my wall calendar for December 2022 and it will say, YES or NO - corrosion protection. Thanks again for showing and telling something that NO other P-car site has ever gone into in such depth, and with actual solutions to the problem.

I would suggest putting tape on the spray tube about 3 inches (7.5cm) from the end so you know when its about to come out of the panel. This way it won't spray all over your face and car as it comes out of the body panel.

Another high quality instructional Video. Thanks.

Fluid Film is amazing stuff.

Wunderbares Video! Bin immer wieder beeindruckt, mit welcher Liebe und Genauigkeit die Arbeiten gemacht werden! 👍👍👍

Excellent; superb. You now have me scared, no, terrified, and concerned enough to get off my butt and go through these procedures on my ‘87 Carrera. Thanks for posting details on the equipment used. I would have been asking here.

As always…. So good. Love the attention to the details. A lovely car. Well done

Top work as always, thanks for sharing!!

You are back!!!!Great episode!!

So informative, one of my favourite channels. Nicely done

Excelent work!!! I very much appreciate the time, effort and details of your work.

Great job! On top, your voice is calm and your narration is so relaxing! Thank you for this quality content!

Grear series !!!! thank you for the valuable information you are providing . Safe travels .

Now that was impressive!

Valuable knowledge. Thanks!

Loved this video great looking car as well.

I think you must have added 5 kilos of oil and grease 🙂. FLUID Film is available in spray cans here in the US and I have used it on my pick-up truck frame. I had not thought about applying this to my Carrera, but now thanks to you, I will be following in your footsteps. Thank you very much for the time you put into your videos and for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Great content as usual. Thanks

Rust is reality . A very real reality for older cars - and particularly Italian cars. I’d say your approach makes sense. Anything that prevents oxidation has to be good. And too may waxs clearly don’t have the penetrative ability. Of course , money no object , zinc galvanization or zinc spraying etc etc are probably perfect. But then again let’s be real .

Put a spot of red paint 5cm before the nozzle.

Hier mein Tip: Für solche Fälle nehme ich Ausbesserung von WS Zink mit hohem Zinkanteil gegen Rost. Es wird bei Verzinkereien für Fehlstellen nach der Verzinkung eingesetzt.

Great videos on this channel I find myself watching multiple times. I could not find however the links for the equipment you used. Need to do this on my 77 911 S, hopefully no hidden surprises!

Zu schön die Gesichtskonservierung mit Fluid Film am Ende des Videos. Absolut Bio übrigens, weil Lanolin :)

More ASMR content :-) thanks. I am interested in your single post lift. I assume the preparation of the surface to which it is attached is extensive. I am looking at 2 post but that single post gives such good access.

I clicked "Like" first and then watched the video. In my view there was no doubt it would be interesting, well filmed and have some amusing comments too. All true. Thank you for sharing. PS - maybe put a marker on the flexible tube at 50mm from the end so you know when you have the nozzle nearly out of the panel hole?

Great video as always, how long did it take you to fully coat all of the cavaties and how often do you need to re-coat?

great video. Thanks. It might be just me but I can't see the description in the details for the spray applicator you recommend. I think I need to do this to my 115 Spider

Great video and videos 👏🏻. Surprised you didn’t make a mark on the tube a inch or so from the end to warm you it’s about to come out!?

Great episode as usual ! Very informative and leading to how to do things that scratches your head. I'm restoring a classic 911 and got many holes that are left open or with old rubber caps. Where did you buy the rubber cap box we can see at 11:17 ?

Thank you this video and explanation. We're restoring a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle and this gives me ideas. I might suggest color coating your tubing so that you can recognize the "end of line" to prevent over-spraying.

Hallo ein Super Video top Arbeit 👍👍👍Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus dem Ruhrgebiet Kai

Great video. Unfortunately, I have had the pleasure of seeing the inside of all the areas you are applying Fluid Film on my F-Body, '72. Where I have gained access I have been cleaning out the rust with brushes and metal conditioner and then applying a cavity primer. What I have been worried about is where I applied the primer to two panels that I have welded to together. As I know that the cavity primer where the welds are has burned away. I'm thinking when I am all done to go ahead and apply the fluid film as you have done for extra protection. Do you have any idea of what fluid film would do to a cavity primer? Would it eat it away or just stay on its surface? Also, I have had the pleasure of rebuilding the entire jack point area with all new pieces. That was fun, but now I am confident that is was all done right. Same with the interior rocker panels. Again, right before I welded everything up, I applied the cavity primer/sealer to the inside sections.

As usual, great video. Where can I get a box of grommets like the one at 11.23 minutes?

Fantastic episode. thank you very much. I could not find the time to view this till this morning-I normally see your stuff day 1. THanks for the links to products used. Do you have any thoughts about spraying the interior regions with a rust encapsulator before you apply Fluid Film. Also, I'm thinking any area that had been welded in a spot repair needs to be hit again The boroscope is an essential tool. I'd never buy another car without using it. BTW-I'm finally picking up a TIG welder this week. I want to get going on my 66TI. Bought an engine last month so the parts are coming together. Cheers and thanks

I'm using FF on my classics for almost 25 years. Can't recommend it high enough, very, very good product. Can you share a link for that endoscope? Thanks!

Great Video! What amont of Liquid Film did you need for the whole vehicle?

Moin! Nette Videoreihe! Kurze Randnotiz. Es ist empfehlenswert das gesamte Fahrzeu abzukleben und nur die zu konservierenden Stellen demaskiert zu lassen. Ich habe selbige Arbeiten an meinem damaligen 190e BJ.84 vorgenommen und musste das gesamte Fahrzeug vom Overspray des Waxes befreien. Unnötige und zum teil Lack und Kunststoff - angreifende - Arbeit.

It doesn't appear the vaupel pressure cup gun is available in the US. any equivalent alternatives?

Don't forget the base of the A pillar.

Having not long ago fought the good battle (and won!) against rust on my 911SC - including around the rocker panels, I have yet to protect the internals as you've depicted in this video. Is there any logic perhaps in using a coating such as Fertan's rust converter first in these tight quarters. It leaves a protective Zinc coating. Then to follow up with a protective film, such as the one you've used? I appreciate your thoughts and great video!

Will a shop in the US be able to do this for me to a 993? I also think about these things. Thank you for this video.

15:30 you mention Vaupel gear and a collaboration with Matouba I think - but I Can not find the link in the description - please Can you also provide what product you use for inspection - it connects via Bluettoth

I currently have my rear torsion bars out of my car. I guess it would be a good idea to corrosion protect the inside of the tube but for once it seems like Internet don’t have an answer. Do you have a sugestion?

New to your channel. Fascinating info and soothing narration. Regarding this video-is this technique of shooting this fluid into the dark recesses of cars something you’ve come up with or is it “a thing” people do?

the link to the air sprayer is not in the description how do I spell the brands name ? thanks

hi, I know this is old but can you spell the brand name of the pressure cup sprayer please.

Could not see a link for the gun and fluid film. Approximately how much liquid is needed? Read all the posts and now have my answers😁

Hey Greasy Fingers, I saw a inner window sticker from your channel onto your car...where can we get one of these ?

Servus Herr Fingers. Haben Sie wirklich nur 2x 1l Fluid Film an der 911er benutzt? Alles noch OK in BY? Keine Corona oder Putin probleme? Ich frage aus interesse an weitere info über Ihre 105. Alles gute. Der Insel Affe.

The drilling does not make me happy though

Sauber. Interessant ist tatsächlich, dass sämtliche hinteren Löcher in meinem 84er nicht vorhanden sind.

Kinda crazy... I just found your channel. We have the exact same two cars in the same spec.(911 and Giulia) Drop a line. This is bizarre:))

Great work….. But this is why I don’t own old cars

Very meticulous, this car will have a great chance of surviving for years and years with plenty of road use. Great work

I still think about this video and it worries me. I need someone outside of NYC who can do this for me even though the car never sees even the rain I know the evil redox rxn is lurking

Stop using brunox it is worth nothing just marketing. Do some research on it or look at some others test. use fertan where you can it is better but not so easy to use... or look for other rust converter. Your effort is worth more than brumox.
