hi guys


thought i would show you all what i have had done to my s1

due to the fact that ALL cars from new are done but only lasts approx 20 yrs then starts to break down from the moisture in the air and uv light

when this starts to break down rust starts and we all know how fords like there rot

so i have had mine re done to stop it rotting away !!!

cost £910 to acid dip

and £1300 to de rust and e-coat

had to de rust again due to it being in bare mild steel for 8 weeks while i welded it all back up and it all rusted up

my car will be on the web site soon


best rust protection money can buy and there is only 1 place in the uk that does it and he does cars/parts from around the world

there is no other way you can treat and rust proof all inner cills/box section/chassi

there is 2 vids

1 is the acid dip
1 is the e coat

have a nosey at the tec info on the site aswell

had my mk2 done there and it came back fully treated but with loads of damage,,,,

 

are you sure it was damaged there as he has loads say that

im not saying your not telling the truth as mine had some damage when it went to e-coat

but loads say its damaged and turns out it was there all along and could not see it till filler/seam sealer is removed !!

my damage was slight crused floor from fork lift
and back panel where it hit the back of a vat going in the solution

he offerd to have a panel better to come and fix it/new back panel if needed and he would re dip it but i did not bother as it was minimal damage and did not care as i sorted it my self

i could accept small amount of damage as the prosses is out of this world !!!
world leading rust proofing some thing you cant buy in a tin !!!

what damage was done to yours mate ?

 

the new sills was crushed where it had been strapped down, the roof had bowed i persume when they where lifting out of the acid bath and the new front panal was crushed at the bottom..dont know if the ecoat people did the damage or surface.no filler on new panals

 

defo there damage then

think the shells are straped to a cage to run electric through them and to move them around from tank to tank and are lifted by the cage in and out of the tanks

i had minor sill damage on mine where straps was no e-coat where straps touched the shell

as for the roof hope it waqs not to bad as there a night mare to sort

out of intrest did it have a sun roof ?

and did they dill any where on shell i.e roof chassi rails ect

 

no sunroof, they asked if i wanted to drill the holes or if i wanted them to do it, so i did myself, they mainly wanted the roll cage drilled.i would have it done again but just not happy about the damage, alot of which could have been avoided with a bit of care,,,,

 

the rough arsed B*****s

 

Yep, I've heard of a few cars being damaged by them..........one I heard was by chains used to lift the shell .

That would just do my head in !!!!!!
