this is the worst bit,needs some plating todo.

there is some points that look like this,clean metal but pitted,whats the best way of treating it?
rust converter?
etch primer?
cutting it out and replacing it?

etched,

painted



now fitted with poly bushes,

also been making a start on the body side of things,

day off today from work and the wife/kid so started on the floor pan to see whats it like, turned out very good. only bad bit is the pass side beam mount point where there is a bigish hole,easy to plate over though!!!!
