That last picture is the worst of the rust. I posted a request for opinions/advice in the V-8 forums. I was told West Systems G-Flex and POR-15 were probably about as good as it gets, short of replacing metal.

What would be good to know is how best to prep a surface in this condition before applying stuff like that. It seems the rust might be too bad to hold up through a wire wheel and that too much surface would be lost, preventing the ability to apply either G-Flex or POR-15. Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, how do you go about removing the door handles and front and back windshield moldings?

Thanks.

Edit. Also, I recall seeing a service bulletin somewhere which described a design/part issue that tended to cause door glass to break if the door was closed while the window was rolled down. Does anyone know where it is? I can't find it.
