If you're really going for clean then a proper bead blast/ acid dip will get rid of anything nasty, however it might uncover more than you expect!
Then dinitrol or similar to protect |

Rust Kill?
I have found products called rust converter... Dinitrol will be hazardous to transport, I have to try and find a product locally that does the same thing. I may use bedliner, but the chaps here want the same amount as a new chassis shipped... |

Surely if you've gone that far, it would be worth getting it blasted and galvanised??
Some would argue about galvanising an older chassis, but I had my 1956 86" done, and it came up a treat inside and out, Also, it would probably work out a cheaper option. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

Never done anything that major, but I wire brush, treat with Fertan, paint (sometimes, usually with POR-15) then Dinitrol.
Would also use the Bilt Hamber products (instead of dinitrol) Fertan seems really good for converting rust and helping prevent future rust.,.. I'm impressed how good it is! http://www.fertan.co.uk/ Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Yes rust converter is the same, raptor bed liner is very easy to use but it does go everywhere 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW 1956 Series 1 Hard-top 1958 Series 1 Soft-top |

Look for marine type paints and chemicals also. Your are in Kuwait so I think, someone there repair boats. and repairin boats = fighting with corrosion. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo

Tbh Naf it seems youre in the middle east, not as though it's going to be that wet!!
Sand off any major rust with a grinder and wire wheel (buy loads) then paint. As MadTom said boat repair places should have what you need. Coat of red oxide then bedliner (Raptor/LineX etc) will keep it solid for a good while |

I'd consider galvanising as you have got it to where it is. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸

I have to agree, if it's down that far do it with a galvanised chassis, you will never be happy otherwise, you can get carried away though, I have 110 in hundreds of bits, every time some thing is removed, I blast and paint/galvanise the process is taking ages but the result willl be worth it, keep the pictures coming.

I agree with Ian if you have gone this far if you can get it galvanised I would. The chassis rot also from the inside out so I would go all over it with a small hammer, tapping the metal, if it rings its ok but if you hear a dull thud then it will probably need some welding first before galvanising. I also had my 1955 chassis galvanised some 26 years ago and its still in excellent condition.

If I was at that stage it would definitely be a new galv chassis for me anything other than that is half a job
As has already been pointed out they rust from the inside out. |

Does galvanising harden the steel ?
