    I bought a second hand Silvia. Found rust developing in the chassis. Took it apart, and found bad rust under the vibratory pump, where the mains power cord threads through the chassis/frame, and in the corrners. I have now stripped everything off the chassis.

    Any advice on the best approach to renovating the chassis? Was thinking of seeing if I can get it sandblasted and galvanized.

    I had the frame of my LUCY sand blasted and powder coated for about $60, It looks great. I used paint stripper on it first as the original (poorly applied in certain areas thats why they rust) powder coating is very hard to sand blast off.

    Sand / Bead blast is a good step.... Then treatment of the affected area a repait AND then correct management. Gal will be expensive...
