Done a few bits and bobs over the past couple of weeks....
Inside front half of the roof derusted and treated to a coat of Electrox:
The deox gel was left overnight to work it's magic and it didn't need a second go, all rust completely eradicated and only minor pitting left behind.
Some seam tiger seal inside the boot and along the join between boot floor and heal board underneath:
Made a new piece to hold the negative earth nut next to the battery box, scrapped the first one I made and did a better job this time, primed inside and welded in place with a nice new shiny nut:

Then on with some more seam sealing, went for some grey stripe brushable seam sealer and got round the underside of the boot floor and all but the very front edge of the main floor pan, I left the front of the floor pan as I'm going to weld some strengthening plates at the subframe mounting points as I am going to solid mount the front subframe, didn't see any point seam sealing until I have done that.

Interestingly I found that grey stripe doesn't like Electrox, particularly if it's fresh, so there's a lesson learned for the next batch of seam sealing.
I also painted some sealer on to various places where I'd welded on the boot floor, for example the filled drain holes, just as a belt and braces exercise to be 100% sure it's water tight under there, I thoroughly checked for pin holes and had only 1 that needed filling but better safe than sorry I think.
