Default Repairing rusty Crittall windows

I've got several of these to do and am planning to tackle it in the same
way I used to tackle car bodywork in the 70s: grind out the rust, paint
with some sort of anti-rust primer, fill with polyester body filler,
sand, prime and top coat.
Is there anyone here who has renovated Crittall windows and has any
advice (other than replace them)?
...or any car body experts who can suggest primers, fillers and rust
eaters?


I have found that I can buy plastic window frames with double glazed
glass made to order to the size I specify. I plan to replace my Crital
frames and wood surrounds. The frames are 7cm thick and have to be
glazed from the inside.
