   scrape all the loose stuff off, if any holes appear get them welded up, wire brush the whole area back to bright metal, apply jenolite, then rust proofing primer then waxoyl

   just buy a boot from a scrappy in the same colour for how much they are, save messing about getting it welded and repainted etc.

   probly couple of quid from a car shop. try WD40, i think that treats rust too.
