Angle grinder . Just what i did today . Then curerust , wait to dry a few days then red oxide ..finish it off it the spring 

You need something on the red oxide as its slightly porous and will absorb the moisture if not sealed

Ah didn't know that , i will find some top coat

Its true of pretty much all primers and undercoats.

I use red oxide quite a bit on my scrap metal hobby and if I leave it for a few weeks in a place where it can get wet it starts to lift

I have noticed bits coming through if left on previous cars , now i know why now . Any top coat will do for now just to protect it , then it can be prepped again in the spring

Yep, any decent top coat will seal it, even Hammerite (although its not as good as it used to be sadly)

Hmmmm. Thats an interesting thought.

Would people actually be up for hooking up and sorting rust and cleaning and polishing etc? 

De-rust party  Be handy if there was a garage handy though 

Did mine land anywhere near you NOOF boyz?

Nope  Could have done with a few roof joists though
