Remove staring rust on frame

[HMLyder]

I discovered some starting rust on my Terrano II frame.
Does anyone know a good chemical for removing this?
Have searched the web for some rust converter, but has anyone tried this and can comment it?

Wire wool brush and some elbow grease. Followed by a drying and a spraying or applying of something, wether it be waxoyl or underseal ect. Just make sure you don't seal in wet...

 

[HMLyder]

I was hoping for something that does not require elbow grease.
A easy spray on stuff is preferred

Is it internal or external?

I've used some fe-123 recently, seems to do the trick. It's a rust converter.

You still need to wire brush off any loose rust then apply. Wire brush drill bits work well.

Jenolite might be easier to find in Norway

I can imagine Norway is quite harsh on the old Terrano :bow

 

[HMLyder]

Have ordered me some Bilt Hambers Deox Gel and Hydrate80.
Read some british forums and they seems to be quite good.
If not, i'll try the fe-123.

The rust is external on the frame. (although the outer sill is rusted trough.)

I would think the british weather is just as hard on the car as the norwegian :naughty
I think the only difference is that we have alot colder and more snow.

We have regular applications of Salt on our roads, which accelerates rust.:doh
What do they use in Norway? or do they only rely on studded tyres?

I use Bilt Hamber products and find them very good at killing rust, you then need their body wax to protect to whole lot again

Rustic

In south of Norway, they use salt and non studded tyres.
But i live ALL the way up north, and here the salt is mostly form the sea.
So we use only studded tyres.

So after i used the rust treatment, i have to apply the body wax?
Is this to prevent the rust not to return?

Yes, it's what the company recommend.

[HMLyder]

[Banshee]

very nice mate :thumb2

You didn't tell us you'd fitted a nissan leaf engine to it :lol

 

[firebobby]

Some sort of engine warmer I would have thought

 

[jims-terrano]

Good looking truck, I still like that colour:thumbs

Must be something like this i imagine :nenau

 

[Sweety]

When I worked for Rover we used to get in a few cars from Norway as it was cheaper to get the ferry over & the cars serviced in the UK but every one had an engine warmer kit fitted to stop them freezing up

 

[terrano bob]

nice one mate :thumbs
