Yesterday I walked around our '98 GU Patrol and found this...


So I dumped a whole lot of Rust converter in it and hoped for the best! Is there anything else I can do?

That's bad rust.
Cut and weld job. I'd be pulling the carpets, rust proofing floors, doors, any cavities you can find assuming they're not rusty.

yeah that's some serious rust. keep probing till you find out where it ends, hopefully it hasn't made it into any major chassis structure.

You do much beach driving?

The Plan? When its mine (It still belongs to my parents), I'll buy another GU Patrol for parts and cut off the sill and replace it. The Chassis has only surface rust but I will do some rustproofing when I get it. We actually haven't gone on the beach with it. It must have been used as a beach rental car! I missed that part because someone must have kicked in the sill only recently. Thanks guys!
