wire brush the outsides
paint with diesel
jack the chassis up to loosen then and liberally squirt waste
oil on them
load tub with roughly 100-150lbs of water in drums then take it
for a bumpy drive, this will break the rust up and start working
it out from between the leaves
liberally oil again over the next couple of weeks and work the
suspension, this will transform the ride from properly bone
jarring to only minor bone jarring
oiled and non-rusty springs work rather well

It is amazing what a little effort will do. I have done this to
the springs for the last year.....the ride is almost bearable -
unfortunately the centres are totally rust blown. Thanks for the
info though.

Nice video. Nice motor as well. Someone put a lot of thought
and work into that film.

Great! kwality filming. I think I need to get a mount that does
more than just the windscreen! The wide angle lens puts a great
perspective on stuff too.
