Finished the welding. Hit the rust with a wire wheel and a flap disc and got the rust converter on. During the week hope to spray the underbody white, and then stone chip protection and wait for the chassis to come back from blaster and galvanisers.

This weekend I've finally finished off the rear bumper. I had to put in a middle U section and then a piece to fill in the hole in the boot where the jack usually goes.
Quick test fit:
Some adjustments, welded and ground down:
Seam-sealed:
Next, the boot floor. A quick template to get the curvature of the hole I cut:
A rough-cut piece to fit in:
A few more strategic cuts to make life easier:
Tacked into place and then later welded some more and seam-sealed:
Next, I think it's time to finish the left side and get some of Keith's arches on!

Gave it the yearly underbody rust inspection, and I found some starting.
Interestingly it's one of the known G3 rust spots, the sills, but it's not rotting from the inside out. It's the rubbish seam sealer that's trapped moisture from the outside, luckily just surface rust at the moment so soon sorted.
Four patches in total, all much the same, front and rear of each sill.
Here's the rear spot (rust removed) just before it gets a coat of buzzweld. The seam sealer peeled away by hand to reveal the rust below, chased it back until the rust stopped
Happy to report the rest is doing well, the wax coating is doing its job.
