Happy days. Thats a relief not having to perform surgery!
I'm sure your plan for the underside includes the full treatment, back to metal, treat rust then apply epoxy/underbody stuff?
Don't forget to have a good root round inside the body where the captive subframe nut is...mine was literally full of dried mud. Heaven know's how this had affected the hidden metal but - a good poke out with a bent wire released a small pile of mud dust, blast with hose, dry and then plenty of dinitrol penetrating cavity wax pumped in there should have done the trick.
Yes, good plan. I don't know why they put a small drain hole there
Would it not be better to have sealed it all up?

There is a drain hole as it was that and the bolt hole where my wire poked through but it drains right into the path of the subframe mount! I'd post a video of how much fell out of mine but don't know how to on this forum.
Progress is slow due to life getting in the way. However, I had the rear subframe blasted and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Just one small hole which can be welded. It’s off for galvanising shortly.

Galvanising is THE best way forward - deals with the inside where powder coat doesn't.
Had mine done this year and then I painted in epoxy. Can forget about that job now for the remaining life of the car / petrol supplies / me
