This film is about the restoration of the tail lights of my Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1987.
The entire tail light unit which back then was entirely made of aluminium and steel was disassembled down to the single screw. All parts have been restored or renewed, the housing was repaired with liquid metal, the covers were hard soldered.
The production of this film was supported by JP Group Classics from Denmark.
It was also supported by matoopa.com, my trusted shop for classic car - related tools.

Hallo J.G., ich habe alle Videos von Dir verfolgt. Sie sind einfach toll zu betrachten mit welcher Gelassenheit du Blechstücke herstellst, Sie passen bis aufs Milimeter. Arbeit eines Genies. Besonders hat mir gefallen, diese Restauration des 911 Rücklichtes und die Reparatur des Alfas Türdrückers. Diese Arbeiten kann man nur ausführen,wenn der Wille und die Geschicklichkeit da ist , um solche Teile zu reparieren. Grandios! Ich denke man kann viel lernen von Dir, und bist ein super Restaurator. Mach weiter so, und hoffentlich noch viele Videos. Die Qualität ist super. Gruß, A.C

@rodneynelson3862 3 года назад

Great video. I just did this a few months ago. I took it one step further and sand blasted my housings, but to do so I needed to remove the bulbs. And that is where I ran into a problem. I tried to bend back the tabs, that hold in the bulb holders and they broke right off. I still need to figure out how to address this. I ended up using an epoxy just like you to fill some cracks I had and it worked perfect. I'm a long way from being able to try them out as my restoration is still on the rotisserie. Great video as usual! And I think this is a great topic as so many 911 owners need to address their light housings. I am going to share this on one Pelican Parts again for you!

@GreasyFingers 3 года назад

Thanks, Rodney. Exactly the same happened to me. I gave up after one tab had broken and accepted that I better not disassemble them completely.

@MiguelGarcia-go7tu 2 года назад

In the middle of the same project on same car. What kind of primer did you use on the back cover? Back cover finish is galvanized. I´d also need to restore the reflective surface of the light housing (brake light and reverse) but I don´t know what type of paint to use. BTW, I love your videos.

@GreasyFingers 2 года назад

The back covers‘ galvanic layer was all gone at mine, I just painted them and primed it with Brunox. In hindsight at least at the left side some stone guard is not a bad idea. Chrome plating I don’t know, was okay at my car.

Hi, I just found your channel and subscribed, great work. I am restoring my 2004 Carrera (in Dresden) and am currently working on the engine. I have spent some time with the dremel cleaning the aluminium casing, and the day after cleaning, crystals form on the surface of the metal which can grow quite big if I leave them. I can only presume the cleaning process has activated old road salt on the metal which is reacting to the water? Anyway, I have tried cleaning it off, but the crystals return. Do you have any experience with this, and any method of treating it? Many thanks in advance. Joël

Well, as well described in the video, if you don't have a beautiful country to wander about like Italians , or good wines and food like French, you can as well design and manufacture great taillights and well insulated wiring! Still laughing thinking about it, and good jokes always are told in the most serious manner. Another great video Greesy fingers, thank you.

Does Porsche still sell these original parts ?

@GreasyFingers Год назад

A lot is available from Porsche, prices however are insane. There’s a Danish company named JP that does high quality reproductions for reasonably money.

Hab auch schon vor Jahren zwei G-Modelle restauriert, aber in solch üblen Zustand waren die Rückleuchten nie. Und der Rote ist doch von 88/89.

@GreasyFingers Год назад

Der Rote ist von 87. Unterschiedliche Autos haben oft unterschiedlichen Verschleiß an bestimmten Teilen.

@RleogPhotog 3 года назад

Another superb video. I find very valuable the sections where you demonstrate how to get out of the additional trouble that results from attempts at restoration, such as the broken heads from screws that wouldn’t move. And, those little red insulation thingies! Thanks for the insight on how the development of those went down. Have you seen the LED arrays for brake lights and tail lights, made by Jerome Joseph, a guy on the 911 and 914 bulletin boards who goes by the handle “Spoke.” I have his arrays on both my 914 and ‘87 Carrera. They’re a fine upgrade to the incandescent original bulbs. His website: Spokeworksled.com. Worth a look. Thank you.

Weird, my 88 had totally different connections to the body (not an improvement)

@GreasyFingers 3 года назад

You mean they removed the nine pole plug & socket in the inner fender?

@thesupernuge 3 года назад

@@GreasyFingers Just that the housing connection to the body has changed apparently. Mine is heavier hardware (screws) into captive nuts.

lovely work. of course, in today's world, they just say 'rear light? you'll have to talk to the shareholders, we outsourced our entire production facility to china to maximise profits'.
