Coral discs man, or fibreglass discs are probably a better name. If it's all just surface rust. Was this one recently for sale on ebay? Big project!

Wow big surface rust.
cheaper and save your energy
Sodablasting

media blast, or use 'quick strip' discs (old mate called them 'coral discs' above).

haha old mate .....

is it just me or does that rear wheel seem to be laying in abit ,might have a broken axle

it isnt that seer to get soda blasting done but the done side is it leaves white crap everywhere ! so maybe see how far you can get with quik strips

good luck !

yer it was on ebay a few weeks back i was going to soda blast or sand blast but i heard that the sand and soda can get down in the cracks and worson rust im bout half way through the car now the back whele is flat lol

i dont think soda will take surface rust like that off, its pretty gentle in comparison. Sand will heat it up and warp it to much. Just use sander/strip disc. Much more hands on work but cheaper and a better result in the long run

thanks u have put my worries to rest lol i didnt no if i was doing the right thing ppl say that sanding is annoying i dont mind it though whats ur thoughts on using a rust converter and primer in one i have done all the panales i have sanded in it

do yourself a BIG favor & dont use any rust converters, soda, POR 15, Ospho or any type of rust "treatments" then coat over them, you're just asking for adhesion problems down the road. I checked on having an AMX media blasted once not too long ago & it was about $800, I imagine a datsun might be a bit less. If it cost $500 it'd be worth every penny, its a lot of work getting rid of all that rust.

Here are 2 autobody forums I recommend you do a lot of reading on - search "rust" on both forum & read, its quite informative.

Good luck & have fun, just remember - if your going to tackle a project like your's you might as well do it right instead of short cutting it which is all those rust converters will do for ya - they just cover it up & save more repairs for you later when its lookin all pretty!
