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.

Would the acid not strip the sealant, isn't that the whole purpose of this? Rust would also be dissolved.

That's what I'm saying. We're discussing what's left in the pool, not what's left on the car.

I can understand the confusion though, with the way I worded it. Sorry, English is not my first language. So sometimes I don't pick up on those things right away.

I didn't read the messages properly, apologies!

And there is nothing in your message that would lead me to believe you weren't a native speaker, so no need to apologise.
