Russ Posted 13November, 2015 Report Share Posted 13November, 2015 (edited) pretty sure that plastic thing is the fuel expansion tank - 911 201 073 00 Edited 13November, 2015 by Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 13November, 2015 Report Share Posted 13November, 2015 Ugh! Been there, done that with paint stripping in a shed half the size of yours. NEVER again!! Looking good fella MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 13November, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 13November, 2015 pretty sure that plastic thing is the fuel expansion tank - 911 201 073 00Ok, I have never come across one before. So I assume that would be so on hot days it would collect excess vapour?I have a plan for the dust when I am done, to go around with a blower and a big extraction fan when I am finished. Hopefully that will agitate the dust and I can extract most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 14November, 2015 Report Share Posted 14November, 2015 i think it traps vapor from expansion as well as overflow I think it's plumbed into the filler neck among other places but i've never actually followed where the hoses go MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 14November, 2015 Report Share Posted 14November, 2015 Halfway through stripping my car, I ended up having the grinder in one hand, and an industrial vacuum cleaner in the other. Tricky, but it helped quite a bit until I hit the 10mm of bog in both doors, then it was like an explosion in a chalk factory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much what I experienced, just that the whole car pretty much, seemed to be covered in 10mm of bog. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 15November, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 15November, 2015 Hell yeah I was wearing a mask, eye and ear protection. I am tempted to still wear a mask when I walk back in the garage now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 28November, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 28November, 2015 Here are some photo's of some of the rust and issues I need to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 28November, 2015 Report Share Posted 28November, 2015 That rust doesn't look too bad. (says he from the comfort of the lounge room) Obviously the previous repairs will take some effort but at least you can just crop off the bodgy rear wheel arches to fit your nice new metal. Rust around the lower windscreen channel and the front fender/A pillar join seems to be pretty common. Hughesy's Unicorn has similar issues. I'd love to get stuck into my car and clean it up but I'm terrified of the surprises I'd find. Keep it coming, Jeff. Great stuff and thanks for sharing.

When I first saw the car with the thick bog flaking off, and rust showing through from underneath. I was sure I was going to have a lot more rust than I ended up with. One of the benefits of having a converted car I have noticed, is that the dash pad and surrounding bits are in much better nick than most equally neglected Aussie cars I have seen. Probably because the dash is so much newer. chris_f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 28November, 2015 Report Share Posted 28November, 2015 Great stuff Jeff thanks for taking the time to walk us through your project turboT and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 30November, 2015 Report Share Posted 30November, 2015 , and spent a heap of time getting the glue from the interiors sound deadening off. Hey Jeff,Can I ask what you used to remove the sound deadening glue from the interior, I'm at this stage on my own project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 30November, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30November, 2015 Hey Jeff,Can I ask what you used to remove the sound deadening glue from the interior, I'm at this stage on my own project. I wish I had an easier way, but I used some thinners on a rag. It was just a couple of hours of rubbing away. I wish there were an easier way. I know when I took the sound deadening out of a 180sx years ago, the cheat way was to hit it with a CO2 extinguisher and then hit is with a hammer and it would shatter off. But that was a different type of rubbery layer they used. Anyone else got a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 30November, 2015 Report Share Posted 30November, 2015 ^^^ with the more bitumised styles dry ice was the go to harden it and it chipped off in big pieces. I found a wire wheel on a drill with its lower rpm as opposed to a grinder, can be a useful stripper. Cant comment on Porsche specific sound deadening as haven't had to deal with it yet.
