NS chassis rail coming out	New rear rail and jacking point in
Inner NS rail in and treated	NS swan neck on

The decision was made to return the boot floor to original	So out comes the 9" grinder and a first rough cut
The removed chassis rails are replaced	Lower back panel chopped and redone, then everything treated
Replacement floor in and treated	Chassis rails look like they were never removed
Fuel filler area was rusted out.	Cut back the rot and made some room for access
Looking better now with some treatment on	How it looks from behind
Couple more bits to clean then a layer of paint, seam sealer, and stonechip next	Rest of floor cleaned down, painted, seam sealed and stonechiped
Rotten section of Ns outer A pillar removed and inner treated	Replacement piece trimmed down and ready to go on
