the good thing is you got the hinges of the bulkhead they can be a fookin arse of a job..
Soaked em over night in WD40 cos its all i had lying around.
Still took a good few gentle taps with a large hammer and impact driver to shift em though.

it had repair panels put in by a previous owner..
i just rubbed down the bubbleing and filled/rubbed down
Mine is just below surface and has not penitrated into the main bulkhead,
So im thinking a good rub back + clean, fill, rub back and paint will be sufficient.

Use a rust converter on whatever is left before you prime and paint. Unless you cut out and replace the metal, rust will eventually come back.

Yes but give it about 5 coats, let each coat dry before adding the next one. Put some rusteater on first though.

A good rust converter I've used is Vactan.

how do you go about getting to the inside? do you have to remove the whole dash and spray in with something?

I used some stuff called K-rust, it goes blue when dry and seems to work well, a patch on my bulkhead was left with just this stuff on for 6 months with no problems, didn't even need to sand it to paint it when i eventually got round to it.

All Done,
Ground the Crap
Rubbed it all back
Sprayed it with rust killer
Filled it
rubbed it back
two coats of antirust primer
3 coats of colour
Bobs your uncle, Not the best job in the world but itll last untill summer when its abit warmer outside then i plan on waxoyling chassis inside out and to get as much inside the bulkhead as possible.
