yup - once the 'moisture seal' had been removed (*underseal).

He is 20 years old mind, and never had its arse replaced

Be careful how much you hoak around, I did the same and spent a few months repairing holes, replacing both outriggers ect. A friend suggested lifting the body off to check around rear section where a frame attaches , turned out to be rotten right through and what was left was paper thin. I recommend you try and check the bits you cant see with a mirror and torch before you have pumped a lot of cash into repairs.

Sadly, this is very true. its almost always worse where you can't see it......

Still worth fixing though.

Cool! nice to see a bit of newness !!

Just gotta sand blast the rest of the chassis now, and get that all shiny

Spot on mate. Good for another 20 years.

... take the towbar back off and paint it
... take the anti roll bar back off and paint it
... more paint on the chassis - hammerite or stone chip protector?

Well done, I'd be really chuffed with myself if I'd done that.
