http://www.surfaceprocessing.co.uk/ this process is very interesting. Its not available here in Finland. How it is done exactly? What is the chemical used for stripping the paint etc? I would like to test with small pieces in my own garage.

I used this company in the refurbishment of my 131r.
The car was totally stripped & the shell taken by trailer to the company.
The car was submersed in a huge vat of acid. This acid takes of everything and destroys ALL the rust. It came back to me forensically clean & in pure bare metal form. I have never seen any car in this 'pure' state. It looked similar to a galvanised metal watering can.
The shell was returned to me peppered with holes everywhere but with only the good metal left it gives you a perfect starter state to weld.
The car was returned to them a few months later where it was dipped again (just to get rid of the surface rust accumulated since the last dip), then electro treated and finally dipped in a black undercoat so that when it came back to me it looked like a new shell straight off the production line.
I used them because, at this time, it is in my opinion by far the best way of refurbishment when a project needs to be perfect.   It is very expensive

longhamrob.
This SPL process is the exact way I want to do my restoration just like you have done.
Can you give me a rough idea of the price. PM me if you dont want your spending public.
I really would like to know so I can budget my own resto.
Thanks.
