door striker
Would it be worth sand blasting this striker and powder coating it or should I just replace them both with new ones?

That would clean up with a wire brush and some WD40 and outlast the life of the car...

Easy to replace. Just make sure you have that torx male socket and its in all the way before you turn it.

We sell good used non rusted ones for $7 each rather than putting the work into it.
