make sure you get every last grain of sand out cause it'll undo all yor good work
a mate did an EH ute fixed the rust but there was sand left in nooks and crannys that got wet and rusted those areas out in no time flat

Thats why soda blasting is becoming more peferable as it is blown out of nooks and crannies with an air gun much easier than sand blasting and if it gets wet it actually acts as a mild rust preventative.
