Today I removed the three wooden strakes (or runners) from the boot floor and the rotten lino. I then measured up for a new lot of floor covering for the boot and for the luggage racks as the lino there needs replacing too.
I also removed the steel plate that acts as a catch for the boot doors and the steel sill cover that protects the boot floor edge. This will need to be remanufactured as it is totally rusted through in several places. I will probably have to make this in two pieces as it needs to be folded to match the floor profile and edge then welded into one piece.
