Prices to Acid Dip a Ford Lotus Cortina bodyshell
Paul emailed us through the Surface Processing Facebook page to ask for a price on his Mark 1 Ford Cortina. He wants to strip the full two-door shell including doors, boot lid, and bonnet.
Classic Ford cars are a mainstay of our business and we have stripped hundreds of Cortinas and Escorts. Assuming all parts are steel and not aluminium, we charge £845 for the first deep strip of the bodyshell and panels.
We always recommend a second strip to clean the body shell fully after repairs. This is charged at £450 on a shell of this size.
Essential to any classic car restoration is rust protection once the restoration is finished. To electrophoretic coat this classic Ford bodyshell only would cost £1450. To coat the panels – two doors, boot, and bonnet – would cost £300.
