Hi there, I am totally new to this forum but hoping that someone here can give me some advice.
I am currently in the process of restoring a classic 1967 Vespa. I am at the beginning stages and have sanded / polished off most of the rust. As you will see from the pics I am left with some small pitting in some places. Some places worse than others (img_6052, quite deep but no rust). I could go further and polish out most of the pitting but i dont want to thin the metal too much.
You will also see that the underside of the frame is completely rusted. This is surface rust only and its still in a solid condition.
I think that I have got rid of most of the rust everywhere else, but I am wondering if it is worth using a rust converter all over the steel just to make sure that I havnt missed anything?
Also, if I do that, should I remove most of the rust from the underside first? Or can I jsut apply the convertor over that.
Any advice would be very welcome indeed. Thanks in advance
