Well got back onto this after doing house crap for a while.

Removed the belly pans and found the usual rust but nothing too bad.
Replaced top hat, front outrigger, jacking point and outer cargo sill.
Also decided to replace the cargo floor quarter as the seat mounts were gone.
Still need to do the front cross section then Por15 it and put on the new pans.

Starting to look forward in tackling the front now.
