i was thinking about bidding on a nice Grandis that was on ebay a month or two ago. I think the lugs were similar and I think that they had a G cut in them as well.
as for the rust. steel wool if it isn't bad. i had some light rust around the rear brake cable braze-on's on the motta. i used a dremel and went to sears and got some plastic buffing wheels to put in it. they look kinda like a hard plastic sponge. didn't use anything metal so it pretty much just polished the rust away...
