That sounds like the ideal process. It will be very interesting to see the results.

Very interesting process that Dry Ice Blasting.

Have you seen the process being used?

Good to know that it exists in this area.

Can't wait to see the results...

Took a week holiday, away from the house and the teener. Just my wife and I; had a great time. Just got back, an hour ago.
When we left last Saturday, the tub was not done, but the shop manager said on teh phone they had started. I always get a little nervous when suppliers start missing deadlines. In any event, I have next week off too, so I'll be able to go to the shop and see how much has been done.
And I got a new battery for the camera, so I'll be able to take pictures over there.
And I stripped the MFI off the engine in the car that's running and put some PMOs on. That'll be the next update, hopefully tomorrow.

At the same time, I started working on the exhaust. I want to get the final exhaust configuration before the PMOs get dialed-in.
Here's the thread.

Forgot to say: spoke to the dry ice blasting shop today. The manager said that the car would be done by Wednesday. He also said the hoods and doors had a lot of bondo on them. I knew they were not from the same car as the tub . . . Minor disapointment. Anxious to see how it all turns out.

I've bought other doors be fore, all were painted, and they had bondo too.

I'm beginning to think that if a door or hood is sold apart from the car it belongs to, it's because the car was in such bad shape that the detachable body panels (i.e. door, hood) also had a lot of "history".

Just my experience.

I have found bondo, and lots of it even under the original paint on hoods and rear decklids. Old looking dark red bondo too, I figured the parts just weren't perfect from the start. No big deal.

I am really interested to hear and see more about this dry ice process. For example, with all that fog created by the sublimation of the CO2, what kind of music do they play? And do they use strobe lights? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I love that pic with the BugEye. You must have quite a reputation in the neighberhood with all those strange cars.

I saw a 914 on a trailler last friday on the 40 near Repentigny, was it your car?
If not, we might get a new member soon.

It's funny cause I had my car on a trailer (friday Aug. 5th) on the 640, not too far from Repentigny.

I finally got it home, I'll probably be starting a thread soon as well.

Sorry for the slight Hijack Michel.

Another chapter in the engine saga. This one is actually related to the PMO install.

Please see:

Went to the dry-ice blasting shop, today. They are done with the "parts" i.e the doors, the hoods etc . . . and are working on the tub. The underside is pretty much done, from what I could see. I spoke to the guy doing the actual cleaning and he says they found very little rust. I saw a few small holes, pencil size on the trunk floors, but that was it. I may find more when it's home.

The dry ice is not very agressive and they've been using stripper first, then the blasting. Here's a shot of the stripper stewing in the front trunk:
