Post by: oberonspacefruit on January 17, 2007, 08:02 AM: get it restored zed. it would be easier to get it blasted to see whats what, but i suppose a lot of work with the sander and drill mounted wire brush would do it..

maybe a high build primer to take all the pock marks out wher the rust has been.
