W113 = worth it, especially knowing how older MB cars were put together with rust pockets due to strengthening
Funny thing is these cars were $15k all day long 15 years ago or so. If you can afford it and are doing a ‘forever’ or high end build it would be worth it for a car that’s not a garage queen |

The biggest problem with dipping a 914 is all the seams that will be exposed by the dipping process. The seam sealer will all be eaten away exposing the seams to infiltration by the dipping agent. A problem if you don't completely remove the dipping chemical. It will weep out with time from all your seams and ruin the paint work. Mechanical cleaning sounds way better to me.

Here's what you don't see and can't treat with a can of spray paint or wax oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) This is on the outer long. The paint was clean and shiny.

It depends on the chassis. If it's a nice dry country chassis, no way. If it's very rusty and you are going to replace a lot of metal, maybe.
The problem with dipping have been mentioned, but the problem with e-coat is the boxed sections with the Faraday effect. I have not personal experience, I just did some research for a current project (car that had been dipped). A bridge too far for me. I'll just do my own corrosion treatment and hope for the best. |
