Rust is bad - get rid of all you can now while the paint is already stripped back other wise as doc said - u'll have the same job again in 12months.

Everyone says "post pictures, post pictures" but in this case its worth doing.

We can see and make a decision on what needs doing and advise. Doc has already accepted the mantle of rust expert and should be able to give good advice.

I also totally agree that bogging up a rust spot is a 12 month time line to failure.
