Hey Chris, there are some pics on the "Current Projects" thread, but here's what the BB looked like:

Took some steel wool to it and got most of the rust off. Even brought out the Nervex stamps and Mercian serial number (1962 frame).
I sent some pics to Mercian, and they said it looks fine and they've seen some in worse condition (brass for dents, and enamel paint for pots). Hopefully that's promising for you.
