My colleague & general all-round top bloke Jeff Harrison went to work on my Vit today, I thought I'd show you the results:
First, he removed the bolts on the suspension strut

Then squeezed the spring together

Then lowered the arm assembly

Once the spring extenders are in, attached the strut spacers

Re-attached the bolts

Time to get mediaeval on it's ass!

Oops

Lose some of the front bumper

Voila! Instant rust removal

The end result

There's still a bit of work to do with the front arches & wheel wells to tidy them up, & we'll probably trim up the rears a little too.
