Porsche 911 (87): Wheel Well & Fender Restoration

This film is about the restoration of the wheel wells and fenders of my Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1987.
It all started with a carful cleaning, but I soon noticed that under its so-called rust protection some corrosion issues were waiting to be dismantled. Repair panels were handcrafted from sheet metal and butt welded into the car.

It is great to watch someone who is really good at something.

@jamescopsey2837 3 года назад

As a serial watcher of classic Porsche related videos, I really think yours are up there with the very best of them. Your care, precision and sheer love of these cars shines through. Well done indeed. Wish I had one iota of your skill to lavish on my '89 3.2.

@GreasyFingers 3 года назад

Thank you, James. Means a lot.

First :) Glad to watch one of your delightful restoration videos again. I never tire of seeing classics being taken such good care of, and I hope to get one myself soon enough. By the way, congratulations on your new merch! The tees look good, well done!

Beautiful work, I admire your approach and integrity in getting this German beauty back to her best. Please make more videos like this.

@GreasyFingers 3 года назад

Many thanks, Neil. An 87 Targa is a great car. I’ve only just restored a Targa roof for a friend and seeing his car in my workshop from time to time has rectified my miss-belief that Targa’s only work with the small body. And you have the G50 which is awesome. What colour is yours?

@neilthaxter9800 3 года назад

@@GreasyFingers It does indeed have the G50. It's currently badly painted in Guards Red, the original colour is Cassis Red Metallic (80D) which I plan on returning it to when I eventually get to that point. I was very unsure about this colour, but it has really grown on me. Very retro 80s feel. It needs quite a bit of work before paint though. Outer sills, kidney bowls and door jams are the biggest issues. Plus some minor work around the inner/outer front wings. That I know of so far! 😬

Thankyou for setting such a good example of making the extra effort to make everything better, not just the part you are focused on. Love that car lift too. I have an 86 red coupe that came from texas to the west coast of Canada, on a small island called Quadra, and it lived down a gravel road. I bought it with the engine in pieces and enjoy driving it through our winding coasts and forests. Thanks for the motivation to make it better
