Very interesting presentation. Thank you especially for sharing the information regarding the Celeste equipment. Your work is beautiful. Looking forward to watching the upcoming episodes.
Been looking forward to this one! Such beautiful body lines.. love how you just get stuck in with the grinder and cut her up! 😅 So strange with the acid dipping.. it’s like it’s started eating at the rust in the seams, but not fully done the job, and continued after being removed! Will be looking out for the next ep!
Great work as ever, looking forward to seeing the progress, would be lovely to see this one though to paint, also these videos are a fantastic record for the owners, if your carrying out the full project 👍
Question,why did you not metal prep the inside panels on all the parts you replaced.great video,just interesting way you go about doing some of the repairs.just keep doing what you do best.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Hi, I should have explained in the video, and will make sure I do in the next one. The shell will be acid dipped again - then e coated. So anything I put on in terms of just killer - paint - weld thru primer would just be stripped off again anyway. It’s not really the way I like to do things - check out one of our other resto series to see what we normally do! Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
You are making amazing video content. I just watched the video and your video quality is appreciable. I am so impressed by your content, I was analyzing your channel and noticed that You are struggling with video views and video ranking. May I share some tips on how you can achieve your goals?
Thank you 🙌🏻 I would normally treat, paint and use welding thru primer but this shell is going to be acid dipped again and E coated which should get into the box sections
That jig is a crucial bit of kit, thanks for the explanation. I think it would be one of my first restoration questions… is it going on a jig! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
It’s certainly been my best investment by far!! I now have jig brackets for all Aircooled Porsches, E types, early bay campers and minis! Like you say, crucial for carrying out proper restoration, especially if major surgery is needed!
without a jig its only ever a repair , once it gets to restoration levels a jig is a must , no matter what guys from yorkshire may tell you , you cant work off the floor and weld in a few braces and expect the job to be a good one at the end
@@classiccarrevivalsofficial makes me weep ,,, people writing about what marvels they do and how the work is amazing and first class restoration etc etc etc , pie cut corners and patches bent in the vise do not make a restoration , the local polish mot weld repair boys do better work . nuf said.
@@tomthompson7400tbf what we do still doesn’t cut the mustard compared to some metalworkers out there. Places like Tin Man’s garage are a whole nother level. But yeh, does make me cringe sometimes looking at some of the repairs.
it's CCR day !!...and it's a 356 Speedster... oh to have those fabrication skills....I follow some dipping channels and one dips for a couple of days, jet washes, does a walk around and if they see rust, dips it again and again until it's either all gone or highlights to the customer where work is needed. Then put in an alkaline bath for a day or two. Looks like this was only dipped once...and who put that front end on ? 😱
Haha! I’m glad it’s brightened your gloomy Saturday morning. I guess for most companies time is money!! I don’t know what company was used. I just feel there is too much risk with acid dipping as it can create long term problems. No perfect way to do it though. The front is…..interesting isn’t it 😅
Great to see a 356 Speedster being done. New sub. I think part of the problem with acid dips is the Car is not rotated as it sits in the acid and neutralizer, so the process is not complete. On the other hand, blasting won't get into hidden areas and might well hide hidden spots, making it almost impossible to detect a problem area. Also, very odd that both doors have that large a gap on the aft side. Are the doors too short? Or the opening too long? Hard to imagine Germans making such a bad job. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for the sub, really appreciate it and glad you’re enjoying the content! With blasting, if the metal is thin, it will perforate it showing up problem areas, but again if there is surface rust in there it won’t clean that up. But equally it won’t strip any factory primer in there and leave it bare. That’s part of the reason I prefer blasting. The door gaps are the way they are because, from factory, the shut would have been filled with lead, closing up the gap. Pretty common practice on a lot of classic cars, E types etc. the first time this was dipped, all the lead came out therefore leaving a big gap. It currently sits at around 9mm, we aim for 4mm gaps. Once this has been E coated, the chosen body shop will have to re-lead the gaps. Thanks again for following along 🙌🏻
Will do! I have in previous videos (especially the 912 and 911SC video series we did). If I’m honest I’ve struggled to record stuff recently because we’re so busy / I’m behind where I wanted to be. I’ll try and make more effort to do this for the next video. That said, on the 356, there isn’t that much to make!
@@classiccarrevivalsofficial People like me do not have this type of opportunity to do such work themselves. Besides in the long-term it creates a diary of what you've done allowing us to also access this in a playlist?
My worry with chemical dipping is the cavities, if they're stripped back to bare metal what stops flash rusting and and moisture in the air corroding it further, lets hope they can all be reached with a wax-oil type treatment after all of your work.
@ Anyway, I certainly would not be pleased with a car that had been dipped and what's left with that much rust still on it. Good job you're sorting it.
Because its being re dipped and e coated. Anything I put on there will just be removed during the acid dipping process rendering it pointless. I don’t like this way of restoration. Watch one of our other series to see how we do it normally and you’ll see we paint inside box sections and use weld thru primer
@@psk5746 I may not have said that. I’ll include it in the next video. I emailed two acid dipping companies to check this. The only down side is that they said they can’t guarantee 100% coverage inside box sections. Another reason why this process isn’t ideal.
It’s a full emersion process so my understanding is Acid bath, neutralisation bath, e coat bath. Although they can’t guarantee full coverage inside box sections (assume air gets trapped and acts as a bubble). But at this stage, with all the seams the way they are, re dipping is the best option.
Huge Amount Of Work for such a Tiny Car !
Epic Thumbs Up on the brilliant progress so far ! 👍👍Thanks for sharing !
😇❤
Thanks for the visit, glad you enjoyed the video! Don’t forget to sub for regular updates 👍🏻👍🏻
That was fun! looking forward to #2. It's Inspiring to watch regular dudes, in regular shops, doing extraordinary work.
Glad you enjoyed it! That’s really kind of you to say.
Very interesting presentation.

Thank you kindly! I’m really glad you was interesting and helpful, thanks for watching along 👍🏻
Awesome work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Ooooh, more Porsche. Awesome. I admire the courage you go in with the saw. Looking forward to this one.
You’ve just got to get stuck in with the grinder!! It always looks worse before it looks better 😂
perfect gotta love a 356
Agreed, such a pretty car
You had me at 356.
Seems to be a few peoples weakness 🤣

So strange with the acid dipping.. it’s like it’s started eating at the rust in the seams, but not fully done the job, and continued after being removed!

My understanding of the process is that the acid is supposed to be neutralized, which doesn’t seem to have happened in this situation.
Man it looks rough with all that surface corrosion too. Good luck on this one guys!
It does, doesn’t it! It’ll be acid dipped again and e coated once all the metalwork is complete
Yet another cracking car! I think you guys have got my dream job or at the very least, my wish list 🤪🤣
I feel very fortunate to work on some of the cars I do! But in the depths of winter it really does test you!! Some days I fancy an office job 😅
Great work as ever, looking forward to seeing the progress, would be lovely to see this one though to paint, also these videos are a fantastic record for the owners, if your carrying out the full project 👍
Thanks Pat!! Fingers crossed the client chooses us to carry the project through to paint, we will see 🤞
Great project.! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
a joy to watch

Nice work good to see some one who knows how to do it properly , what do you do with the bare steel on the inner panels

They used lead on the front edge to fix the gap at the factory.

It would be nice if you showed the making of the panels.
I didnt really make much in this video, if you watch some of the Porsche 912 videos I do quite a bit of fabrication on that car!
21:42 Please show us you making replacement panels? Even if you have slightly fast forward! It will show people how-to and your skill as well...?

The shell is going to be acid dipped again and E coated, which in theory will sort that 👍🏻
After acid dipping, isn't the vehicle meant to be put in rust inhibiter/converter?
I believe some places now coat them in a weldthru primer, then it all gets re dipped and e coated once metalwork has been repaired.
@ Anyway, I certainly would not be pleased with a car that had been dipped and what's left with that much rust still on it. Good job you're sorting it.
Wondering why "we" are not painting (or spraying some sort of rust kill product) inside the sill/rocker area before welding on new panels?
Because its being re dipped and e coated. Anything I put on there will just be removed during the acid dipping process rendering it pointless. I don’t like this way of restoration.

Agree that the acid should’ve been neutralized and the bare metal coated with a primer to prevent surface rust.
We’ve spoken to the client and it will be acid dipped again and E coated before the bodywork stage. 👍🏻
@ if it gets dipped again the acid will get inside all the heater channels and nooks and crannies again; is there a way to clean and neutralize that?

It is difficult to see the forest for the trees on most cars except Marcos.
