I would give it a coat of Hydrate 80, before your primer, and the battery tray not removable other than cutting it out is a real pain in the ass |

I sprayed it all with Dynax S50 earlier last year to give it some kind of treatment, will have to degrease and clean it off first before attacking the rust with the wire brush.... |

I made the battery tray bolt in so it’s easy access to treat in the future |

Luckily, my Cab has a large drain hole in that area - I dont need to worry about it holding water And it appears a previous owner has repaired it with filler rather than use a material that could go rusty.

Ouch - you might want to take the left lower diffuser off to see the condition of the arch behind it. |

I did briefly think about that a few weeks back but couldnt quite see where the fixings were - any tips? Basically, I doused it in Kurust and decided to wait till it gets a bit warmer. |

Yes there are two bolts on the outside above the exhaust tail pipe and two nuts on the inside of the wing just above the battery tray. Takes 5 minutes to remove it, make sure you are holding on to it or supporting it but it shouldn't come loose as the two threads that go into the wing should hold it on even when the nuts are undone. |
