Re:
I dont have a sandblaster and wanted to do it myself at home (home birth :? )
As far as paint was just going to leave it at metal but with some new reynolds decals.
I guess I will need some kind of dremmel/drill with some of those wire brush attachments to clear most of the rust first ?, or do people in the know think I can get it back to nice bare metal finish with a stripper (paint) and then onto wirewool wd40 etc.
Or if anyone has a good youtube link that they found helpful that would be great, they are mostly poor.
thanks

Strip it down completely, nitromors will get most of the paint off, and the scrubbing and scraping will take a lot of the loose rust off as well, then either a flapper wheel or wire brush attachment *carefully*.
You'll need to treat the bare metal with something, or it'll start corroding again incredibly quickly.

I take mine to a local sandblaster. Not for blasting but for chemical dipping.
A frame normally cost £10 cash, much much much better than modern nitromors.
