Unimog & G-Wagen NOS Parts — Batch Rust Removal

Expedition Imports in Vallejo sent a NOS batch of Unimog, G-Wagen, and Pinzgauer steel that had sat in storage rust. A single light-to-moderate pass cleared that oxidation on drivetrain parts without pitting or dimensional change on the precision faces underneath during rust removal.

The Source: Unimog, G-Wagen, Pinzgauer

Expedition Imports Corporation holds North America's largest independent inventory of Unimog, G-Wagen, and Pinzgauer parts. Because these vehicles are no longer in production, the company's NOS stock, some held for decades, is the last supply chain for owners keeping these platforms running.

G-Wagen: Decades of NOS Stock

G-Wagen parts in long-term storage develop a layer of surface oxidation that looks worse than it is, the steel beneath is typically sound. Laser cleaning removes that rust layer selectively, leaving the base metal intact and ready to inventory or install.

Before: Clutch Components, Surface Rust

Clutch parts from NOS inventory showed uniform surface rust from decades of storage. Mechanical tolerances on these components are tight, any abrasive method risked removing material. Laser cleaning ablates only the iron oxide layer.

After: Pressure Plate, Bare Steel Restored

The pressure plate friction surface came out clean and dimensionally unchanged. Scott inspected each batch piece by piece, parts meeting spec went straight to inventory, usable after decades in storage.

Slave Cylinder: Precision Surface Preserved

Hydraulic components require clean mating surfaces, any residual rust causes seal failure. The laser removed oxidation from the cylinder body without touching the machined bore, keeping the part serviceable.

Valves: Batch Cleaning at Scale

Small valves and fittings were processed in batches, the laser's precision allows multiple small parts to be cleaned in a single session without masking or fixturing. Output rate on this job ran well above what manual wire-brushing or electrolytic cleaning could achieve.

Process: Laser Rust and Paint Removal

Where parts carried original factory paint over the rust layer, the laser removed both in sequence, no chemical strippers, no media blast residue to clean up afterward. Scott's team received parts ready to inspect, coat, or install directly.
