While trying to get the Portamig fund up, I have started stripping, cleaning and preparing my old MR2 Mk1. Labour is free especially if it's mine. Mostly it's been time, bruised knuckles and wire brushes.
I have the 2 bumper bars off now, they are both suffering from surface rust but sound. A good walloping with a hammer proved that The question is how to treat the inside of these, can hear the rust flakes moving around inside, managed to get most out. The outside surface is easy, more wire brushing and paint but what about the inside? I thought maybe get rid of as much of the rust as I can and treat with Bilt Hamber Dynax S50. Or fill a wheelie bin with Deox C and remove completely? If so, how to treat inner surfaces?
Any suggestions gratefully received,
Jack
