I like your thought process..... grams add up to ounce and ounces add up to lbs.

You came a long way to strip your 930 down! Are you going to repaint it in different color? The current color looks great.
The stands with wheels looks too narrow...is it stable enough? I think it would be perfect if it's 2ft or half a meter wider. Keep posting your progress!

No color change. Yes, the stand is a bit narrow. It's ok to work, as long as you won't enter the cab... Can't remember why I made it this way, maybe I just did not knew it better 10 years ago

As I have some time now until the chassis is ready to reassembly I will spend the time to work on all the other things.
First what came into my fingers: Steering joints. What can I do here? Drilling of course ![]() ![]()

Did I read write that you had chassis chemically dipped? If so there is a big reason in the US they have gone from like 100 to say 3 shops that do it. The chemicals stay in the seams and are very hard to bake out. Not only that you also strip all the internal surface coatings which looks like to be the case with your car.
There are many high dollar restos that show seam seap and inner panel rust do to thsi process. It takes some serious prep to do a car like that including opening and replacing most closed cavities. You have a tough situation there as it is rusting from the inside out. I would open whatever areas you can to what is going on but again that creates another mess. POR to me just is a gimmic. There are good rust converters and removers that do work. Make sure you then coat with the correct product. Coating a rusted panel with wax will just seal the rust and moisture creating even more. Good luck! |

Did you drill holes in a steering joint? Why risk it? aluminum or lighter version are available.

The problem was, that after that, the painter did not treated the box sections and some other areas with paint at all!

In my opinion, the weaker part of the joint is on the oposite side of the pin, there (red) is much less material than around my drillings (green), so it will not fail there first ![]()

Back on topic.
The car will be checked very well, box sections opened and everything needed will be done. I cannot tell now, what exactly, I am no pro in sheet metal working. I have talked to a lot of tinner people (correct word?) and found one I trust. He learned his business at a Porsche shop and has over 20years of experience. Further he made an education in painting, so I get both from one hand.
