Whats the name of the rust treatment you paint on the rust that turns it back into metal
I remember reading about it in a thread ages ago

 

There's THIS stuff. I don't know if it's the same.

 

Sounds like the holy grail for Ford owners

I think you meant KURUST which just stabilises it and stops it spreading as quickly. Waste of time on a rusty motor, you need to get it all out unless you plan to botch it up to shift it on

 

I love my fords but i hate the rust.

 

there crap mate. for a quick cheap fix just grind all the rust away then seal with paint, then filler and sand and aerosol. will stop it spreading any further as long as all rust is gone and is sealed before filler is used.

 

yup, 'kurust' type treatment does nothing to any rust more substantial than that caused by a very new stonechip. i put some on a tiny patch of rust in my bootfloor, all it did was turn it a delightful shade of purple until i overcoated it, and then spread like rust would normally

grind it right back until its all gone, or cut out and weld, and then etch primer coat it, only way to be sure its gone

 

The only bit is under the tail gate seal on the 3 door

The thread it was onwas paddys RS2K resto he said it turns it back to metal

 

i work in the commercial vehicle respray trade,we use loctite rust remedy does nothing what so ever ,shot blasting is the only way to kill it out

 

We used Kurust at work, top and bottom of it is its shit.

Cut out and replace with fresh metal or grind/shot blast it away.
