I have some more welding to do but couldn't get into the headspace today so I said I clean up the engine bay, clean up some spot rust and get some rust converter onto them.
Battery tray, I can't take it off so going to do the best I can with a 4 inch and 3-inch wire wheel brush cup.
Once it's cleaned down going to wash the engine bay with some washing liquid and warm water let that dry. Then hit it with KRUST the Hammerite rust converter let it dry and hand paint the engine bay after a rub down with sandpaper and a wash down.
Steering link arm before wire wheel cup brush
This is the gizmo

Progress
Going to weld the boot space where the jack is kept. Remove spot rust, rust converter on the spots, and spray with LOWES white and then stone chip protection to the areas as previous areas.

Used this to protect the threaded captive nuts etc .
On the weight bridge
turns out there going to blast it again and will touch up any areas that need it so despite my best efforts they dont want it to leave the plant in less than 100% galvanized. He also told me they bulk bath chassis over the weekend in acid to ensure the internals get well eaten.
We will see on Monday?
