Yesterday I finished screwing the boot floor OS perimeter rail in place. Today was spent finishing the joints to ensure the side pillars line up correctly for the cladding panels and packing any gaps in the joints. Late afternoon today I removed the rearmost boot floorboard as it is rotten all the way across. This gave me access to the top of the chassis at this point, where a lot of corrosion growth was evident between the insulator and the boot floor support. I removed the insulator and the corrosion growth and treated the chassis top surface with Vactan.

Continued to work on the boot lower frame rail, cutting out for the side rod joints. As with the NS frame rail it takes a lot of trial fitting before it lines up with everything, but it was very close by the end of the afternoon today.

I started work on the OS boot lower frame rail today, as part of the plan to complete restoration of the boot area before moving onwards.
