It was spot welded before so thought it would be best as knowing my luck it would turn in to one of those annoying rattles

That rust is a balls dude, gives me nightmares! Bought a 1990 4x4 sappy and was afraid of my shite it would be holy, but thankfully only a couple a spots underneath sills in front of the back wheels and one seam across the floor, I think I've been lucky. Looks like you're attcking it the only way that works- cut the b*st%d b"tch stuff out. Fair play to ya only way to go

yeah its the only way it might take a bit longer to sort but the only way to make sure you get rid of rust is to cut it out
