Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s) |

That looks like intergranular corrosion. The only way to remove it is mechanical. You could blend it out and see how deep it goes. You might think about getting them treated after you blasted them. They will corrode more without it.
Personally, I'd run them after some cleanup. It's not around the lug holes where strength matters. |
