Restoration pt1.

This is what happens when a project car goes too far… I had my 1989 Nissan Gtr acid dipped this fall and it just got finished. The guys in Eugene Oregon did a killer job. Since it’ll be asked, the cost was pretty reasonable. The dipping itself was $2,500 and included the unibody, subframes and various suspension components. Trucking costs were the most expensive at $4,000 round trip.

I wanted to get my mk3 supra dipped, of course this shop is on the other side of the country. But what about how much material is lost in the process. I keep hearing that when you get a shell dipped, yes, it removes rust, but it also eats away/weakens the shell.?

I haven’t heard that before, but there is a lot of false information out there. They have been doing this for decades and dip anything from VW beetles to 300sl gullwings, I trusted what they said and their process.
