Options for pad pads

how about some photos of the rusty discs? are they beyond cleaning up with a little use?

one time my dad turned his front rotors in the driveway by holding his lathe
tool post on the ground with the weight of the jack stand. he used low gear and
it worked. you can check for run-out with a dial indicator and magnetic base.
i don't recall if he locked the steering in position somehow, i'd imagine that
would be step 1. use the dial indicator to true the disc before turning, then lock the steering. maybe a suitable u-bolt for the steering wheel and a length of strapping would do?

the bad news is: any run-out will leave you with brake judder.
