Having posted the above, I wandered down to the sunlit cave to have a look at the chassis. I decided to paint the parts of the frame which are visible when the body's in place. I dusted them off, de-greased them with acetone, and gave them a good coat of black stone chip, masking the adjacent areas with an old bed sheet.



I think I may need to black the insides of the main rails, but I can do this later even with the body back on.



The left hand front outrigger will eventually form the front part of the spare wheel mount. Gathering clouds brought progress to a halt.
