This thing was completely caked in rust. An hour or so with an angle grinder and wire brush - pretty good. Will have to get a few nooks and crannies with something smaller. One of the brake line tabs was rusted and damaged. I have to decide if I want to buy a new one in the world a replacement in place. I have an old stick welder of my dad's and zero welding skills. Regardless. Epoxy primer this spring
