This is what we have done, today we ground all the rust off with a rotozip and stone grinding bit, then the rotozip broke. First time we used it, ever!!! So out came trusty dremel, finished the job perfectly, though a little slower. Then we got some sheet metal and have been cutting out sections that match what we ground out/whats missing, and we're JBwelding them in, all rust has/will be treated with rust killer/primer compounds and then we'll coat it in some super heavy strong paint or something. Needless to say, the rust is going to meet its end once and for all. (We hope)
