Porsche 911 Door Jamb Surprises & DIY Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This week my Porsche 911 Door Jambs get lots of attention so that when they are painted they look somewhat decent. My door jambs were dented, the number plate looked bad, the door stop brackets were bent over and there is rust in the lower seal channel. Fun surprises!

Merry Christmas, and awesome as usual! I wish I was doing car stuff today, but I took a break between tiling the new basement bathroom I put in...and work tomorrow.
Busy time of year for sure!
Adding my comment for the coveted recipe. :)
Ok, I'll do this on a future video too because it's a little confusing. I buy a quart of gloss and a quart of flat. These are mixed with a ratio of glass to flat 2:1, but the mixing ratio is 5 parts paint 2 parts acetone and 0.3 parts hardener.
When you're in for a penny your in for a pound! Honestly this is the only way, (outside of a Gunther racing or similar shop restoration at 150k cost or more) that a quality resto gets done. The way I see it, the biggest issue is this, if you don't do it, knowing you didn't eats at you after the fact. I have been working on mine for a long time and I have a rust spot on mine that didn't exist when I initially started, and it made itself evident years after the paint went on... Keep it up I'm stoked you put in time every day!
I agree! Might as well take care of it now. That is why paint is such a huge milestone. Although I also think I'm overkilling this for the cars intended purpose. If it gets scratched due to driving it then that won't upset me, but if I ignored something just to cut a corner then that bothers me.
Ah - rust. Our favorite! Looks like we both got an early Christmas present this last week. Nice fix on the jamb. You are not alone though, I am doing body work on my jambs too.
Rust for Christmas! That's worse than coal
I thought of you when I said that bodywork piece!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video.. so much effort required in recording, documenting, planning and editing. Really appreciate it :)
Thanks! My commitment to posting every week also keeps me moving along so I hope it's a win-win for everyone. Thanks for watching. I'm really looking forward to what the new year brings.
Merry Christmas Tom!
I hope this will not become a new "project Binky"... Can wait for Bahama.
Merry Christmas to you too. Project Binky is awesome, but I want to be driving before binky does.
Offer shirts with "SANDING !" in a loud script
Or "Ahh...SANDING"
Ha ha, How about I hate SANDING!
Thanks again Tom for another great video! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 🎅 to you and your family!
Thank you and Merry Christmas. All I wanted for Christmas is a painted car, but I don't think it's going to make it.
Why did you do black epoxy? Are you going to go with black paint in the door jambs? Great progress, and thanks for taking the time to document the journey. I'm sure you would be moving a lot faster if you weren't recording every step of the way. But here you are, killing it, even while recording every step.
Good question, I wondered this myself. There are two reasons:
1) I thought a contrasting color would help because it's inevitable that some overspray will get on the exterior panels that are paint ready. The black will be easy to sand off without oversanding the grey exterior.
2) I'm trying to manage my paint inventory as I get to the end. Just trying to use all the black.
After the bodywork is done on this jamb I will be shooting a grey sealer coat on the exterior and jamb together, then yellow!
I appreciate you for watching most if not all of these videos and being a regular commenter! Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays to you the family..🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄 Getting closer now for painting..
Thank You! I'm looking forward to a little down time. This paint job has been exhausting! Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas Tom and family. Thanks for the video content. Maybe Santa will bring some big RSR wheels for Christmas.
Thanks and Merry Christmas! Santa should have the hint by now!
Do you needle gun the rust and or weld locations to prep?
Hi, I used a carbide Burr and wire wheel this time. I don't have a needle gun. My understanding is they are for heavier guage stuff, but I'm not positively sure on that.
