[@mattclore3995]

Chemical dip, repair rusted metal then have it galvanized dipped to protect the inside as well as the outside. Painting afterwards is optional. I have done this to several early Bronco frames and it works great.

[@Cynyr]

Agreed on the chem dip, and galv. No other way to do the insides of the tubes. Personally I'd paint it afterwards, but just so it doesn't get that white zinc powder on it in a few years.

It is funny how these bits of sage-like advice filter down through the ages but we heard recently that if you a cluster of bolts to undo to remove a part; aways start with the one that is most awkward to get to and that way the last bolt holding the part in place will be the easiest to get to and that will make the whole job easier in the long run!

[@HansDelbruck53]

Restoring them is a big job.

[@billcunningham8485]

Last year I purchased a Milwaukee 3/8 inch 18V impact wrench and it is a game changer. I dropped the suspension subframes (front and rear) on my Mini Cooper R53 and the Milwaukee impact made quick work of bolts installed in the factory 15 years earlier. I told my wife if I had that tool 20 years ago I could have been a “real” mechanic. The impact was $200 US and worth every penny in my mind. Keep up the good work fellas - enjoying the Rover series.

[@adamhbiggs]

Dry ice blasting looks like a real easy way to remove rust and debris, while minimizing abrasion of the material underneath. On the other hand, dipping would get into most nooks and crannies. Wonderful stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@MarkHey]

I had dry ice blasting done on the frame of my american 40 foot Rv, it gets rid of nasty stuff like loose undercoating , but if you have heavy rust you still need sandblasting, needle gun or grinders. Dry ice is perfect to clean before you respray and find out whats dirt and loose paint and coating, without damaging. You afterwards see the rust perfectly and can go on. And: If a frame is fully stripped ( mine wasnt, the Rv was till on top, the engine was still in, etc. ) you can go for sand in the first place. Dry ice comes not for free! BTW: We needed 300 kg of dry ice and 150 manhours to clean the frame, remove rust, fix one or two small issues, put some penetrative stuff on it to seal the rust in the depth of the surface (forgot the name) and then paint it new with Brantho Corux, which is a paint they use for ships as well.

[@marcusott2973]

There's a company called Narran in the Czech Republic thar does wonders with variable wattage lasers. The cleaning and de rusting capabilities are unbelievable.

I think apart form the odd "Yes, No and OK", Paul was asked to keep chat to a minimum, so as not to break the dynamic and to keep the focus on Edd and MB.

When taking something apart, putting nuts and bolts back together saves them being lost and IF they are put back in the hole, it SAVES a lot head scratching figuring out where things go!!!!!

Edd, I remembered your first WD helper was a Stoke-on-Trent guy like me, I think he passed . RIP.

I worked on my Capri and a Pontiac Firebird with my next door neighbor outside on a concrete slab, no garage . Impossible job alone. Wheeler Dealers (SHHH) still currently give the idea that one person can do a major mechanical job, at least this series you admit "Its so much easier with two people ' The truth is its impossible with one ! Have a MATE !
