With the fuel tank dropped I did some remedial work on bits and bobs on the underside. All the corrosion was surface and nothing greater so nothing to panic about if you have one of these fine machines but as I had the rear subframe off it seemed silly not to do it. Most of the areas were around the body spot welds.

Some phots of the areas I was looking at.

areas attached with wire brush on the angle grinder

Then all the areas where the surface corrosion had been attacked was neutralised

Then primed with corroless then the whole area was undersealed

Finally the fuel tank was put back up ready to start the suspension fit up.
