Paint will seal it up Brett. Go to town on it with wire wheel and get plenty paint on it.

Hello Clay its Bretty here

.
Yes I cleaned it up back to shiny metal with a brush on the die grinder and its painted up well, but I think the workshop manual talks about sealing the weld with mastic or something. I wouldnt have used mastic, but one of the paint-able seam sealers if its necessary to do.

Now I'm worried I didn't put drip check or seam sealer in there. Not really.
Gee Tim, why you wasting that nice badge on a ratty old FB when you could put it on Freya's EK ute. ?

not surprised really. Good s/h one turned up on Gumtree locally last week for $200. I hesitated as I have one with one missing pin and a couple of ones with broken bars. It went in two days and the seller put one up with a broken pin for $180. I only paid $50 for mine. Would have paid the $200 prolly as I've got z few pineapplesburning a hole in my pocket oh well pardon the digression.
