   I'm setting about doing my engine conversion next month, so whilst my old engine is out of the bay I'm thinking about spending some time de-greasing and spraying up the bay a little as there are one or two small rust spots and i don't want them getting any worse. Do any of you guys know of any good anti rust stuff i can use to get rid of the rust and protect these area's before i primer and spray.Cheers

   Wire brush off any surface rust then coat it in Aquasteel Rust converter.
   It stops any further oxidation and turns what is left back into metal, worked wonders on my wheel arches.
   
   You can get it £10 off eBay!

   Wire brush, 2 layers of Jenolite Rust Treatment and then paint with hammerite or spray cans
