Many thanks!  I will be looking into those tips and once I get the Brat out of it's storage I will be posting pics.  She ain't pretty now but the future looks good.

Just joined up. I have a 1986 Subaru Brat that I haven't driven in years. It has seen it's fair share of rust in small spots. Maybe a total of 5 per cent.   While it was mechanically sound, I will be reading this forum to see about upgrading  or more than likely, replacing the engine for serious performance. Wasn't a fan of the stock brakes either. And....there is rust through the rear strut covers on top of the bed(now THAT should be fun by itself!).  And some minor rust in the bed and ther rear wheel flared lip area.

 

So it's on to reading what others have done and look forward the project.
