Phil,
It was not dipped, but the panels that weren't replaced were taken back to bare metal. The whole front end was replaced, most of the floorpan and all the cills, inner and outer, yet when it went in there were only the tiniest ripples under the paint that gave anything away. Costs climbed beyond the original £5k quote quite quickly after the paint was stripped back.... as they do!
Tnx Mark,It was not dipped, but the panels that weren't replaced were taken back to bare metal.

Just thinking about doing similar to one of mine although I don't think I need any new panel work.

1964, 3.8, All synchro close ratio box, 75K miles, XJ6 rack conversion, Exported to California when 6 months old, Structurally perfect, Original sills, Floors, Jacking points etc, Needs a bit of cosmetic sprucing up now.
Bought unseen on Ebay, Very late 2.8 S1 regd May 73, Took a punt as could get back more than i paid for it in bits, Was buried in a garage for 24 years, When it turned up on the beavertail i nearly had a heart attack! Better than a zierbarted S1 i restored 25yrs ago, 95% rot free with a gorgeous interior, 3 owners who all knew each other, 59K miles, It runs sweet as, Shame its a 2.8 auto!

It's looking worse now as I break it down to begin a complete restoration.
