Thats not rust!!
Real rust is when your stuck in mud, and when you get pulled out, your cross-member comes off!!!
Defenders are the only vehicles on the market that you can see the road go by....whilst looking at gaps in body panels!!!
Its normal to get rust down there, especially if you do a lot of wading, or you live in a wet & rainy part of the world.
That "rust" (!) looks quite superficial, so just sand it all down, or chop it out and weld in a new section, and then treat with whatever product you have over there. Once you have it all fixed, make sure you have a proper underseal treatment done....Waxoyl everything underneath (whilst your at it, fill up the lowers of your doors with waxoyl to lengthen the inevitable time when you will need new doors.)
When all is done.....lose the carpets in the interior (around your transmission tunnel)....they do nothing to deaden sound, and are impractical in a Defender. Get genuine Land Rover fitted rubber mats, and just kepp 'em nice and dry underneath when you get wet again.
