Visited an acid dipping place in Dudley yesterday, thought I'd share a few photo's.
356 just after being removed from the Acid tank and getting jet washed clean. Floor is non existant due to rust so a bit of work to do.
not sure which 911 this is with the oil filler on the rear wing
having been e-coat primered and ready for collection. Every minor imperfection is revealed.
possibly an SC which needs a lot of work doing, waiting for the treatment next to a 924

I can just imagine sending an old Alfa there and after they call you up to come and collect afterwards handing over a small bag of dust
Thats waht I was thinking when I saw this there, but it did look in good order considering.And.....I dont know how much Ford Granadas fetch in Poland but this had been brought over on a purpose made box section trailer to be dipped. Had had some repair panels welded in but its obviously worth the trip and the money - or they're completely loony over there
And a few more....
A nice Mk1 Cortina
Mk1 Escort
And a big yank tank - you cant appreciate how big this thing is from the photo.

Fantastic, thanks for that. Would you be able to mail me that pic. Be nice to add to the albulm.
So that's what K-9 from Doctor Who looks like without its coat on Happy to mail you the photo Steve and sounds like your building a serious car. Cant wait to see it finshed. Are you going to run a topic showing progress as it happens?

Am thinking of doing this to my mazda race car to save weight. Makes no financial sense but will improve the quality of the race car build no end! Do you have any idea on what weight you will save on the 924 by dipping it?
You could lose around 30kg in underseal alone.spenny_b said:
Is there any advantage to getting it eCoated then powder coated?
Getting it eCoated means it's dipped in a vat of primer so every nook & cranny will be covered, including all internal faces of hollow sections. Powder coating will only cover where the guy can get with the spray gun.Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
