Before pics, nothing too exciting but the pedals and the original chainring were pretty bad, they came out alright and didn't use the chainring yet.

The nasty rusty, spots on the frame just got grease rubbed into them as anything more invasive would corrupt the very fragile paint that is already in a poor state.

There is no paint or further mitigation in store for this, it is what it is.
