Nigel - Removal of has much of the rust out of the pits as possible - you can either send the panels for shot blasting or the harder way is to use a rotatory wire brush on a drill - be careful as this procedure will generate heat which could further distort the panels - once completed clean the panels with panel wipe then apply 2 coats of Bilt Hambers Hydrate 80 - once cured you can fill the pits & prepare for paint as normal - link below to Bilt Hambers site - I use this procedure throughout my restorations without issues or problems at a later date
