WOW. Given what i went through to get rid of my rust, this is by far the best thing i have seen. Its going to be one amazing car!!
yeh i weighed the thought of hours with a cup brush, the sore knuckles and the dirt generated while stipping a car, this was so much easily and less time consuming. only one small hole that needs looking at. im well chuffed with the result. have not seen the wings, door, bonnet and tailgate yet but im sure they will be fine…….just need to reseam seal the joints and undersealing and then it goes to the body shop

that is beautiful….absolutely beautiful. im wel jelouse of that. how much did the whole stipping and plating cost? if you dnt me asking?
It was quite alot, more then what the paint is gona cost me and more then what i paid for the car in the 1st place.
A normal mk1 shell cost break down:
Just shell acid dip = £800
Electro coating shell = £1450
panels dipped and coated = £400
Plus VAT @ 20%
GRAND TOTAL OF = £3950

your right it will be rustproofed for many year to come now, plus im not selling for at least 10years, so eventually it will pay off itself….and add value to it. 8)
