hmm. clearly I need to borrow tussocks 33 Kumhos and see how it goes
How hard is it to get the body off and strip/paint the chassis? Have a little rust I'd like to smash before it becomes a problem since I live on the coast
(would it cost a fortune for someone else to do it?)

On the one hand it's not hard and it is something you can do. On the other hand once you have stripped it back that far it makes sense to do a complete rebuild of everything. Don't ask me how I know this. The dissassembly was much faster than the reassembly.
How'd you lift the body off? Hoist?
Nice day at Rotoiti by the looks.

Rust! What should I do to stop/fix this, for the meantime? Wire wheel on the grinder then hit it with some rattlecan of some kind? This is about the only bit that's of concern.

The rest of the chassis is ok but losing paint and has some minor surface rust in places

And the odd tiny bit of bubbling on the body, doors, bottom of the windscreen

I would knock off anyloose flaking rust and then use a rust converter then paint over the top with a black zinc rattle can paint as a stop gap not get anyworse in the next year or so measure.
Black magic has been the best product we've found for killing rust on machinery and vehicles. Our farms on the coast too
