Not sure of where you are, but If the rust is really bad.. it might be worth it to fins another rig As pointed out, unless treated properly you will never get rid of it. Where I live (chesapeake bay area of VA) the conditions of rigs vary greatly, and the prices do not. YOu can find a rust free rig, just as cheap as a rusty rig.


Just an observation.. the 90 an older rigs in my area do not rust as fast as the newer ones
