Whats the best way to stop rust?
Im stiping my mini down and want to clean up some rusty bits.

Drew

Get rid of any metal bits and replace them with carbon fibre or aluminimum?

okay, a bit expensive....

I've had brilliant results using POR metal ready as a primer on bare metal (steel). it converts the surface to something or other that doesn't rust, and also eats away any rust that is there.

When I get round to doing up a mini (after the Sylva is on the road hopefully!), any steel parts will be given the POR metal ready treatment. I cna only seem to find it in Frosts in the UK though.

chop it out and weld in some that's not rusty!!

Shotblasting/gritblasting wherever corrosion is light.
