CUTTING OUT THE DISCOVEY FLOOR

Once the scary carpet lifting moment was overcome we poked around and confirmed that, yes indeed it needed a new floor. And a couple of holes outside the replacement floor area also had to be patched enter stage make sure there’s nothing immediately under the floor that can be damaged by the cutter. So cut through a metal brake pipe.
Also remember that the fuel tank lies under the boot floor and will have to be drained and removed before any welding is done. We decided to leave the tank in until after removing the boot floor. And we made an interesting wildlife Discovery a family of rate had been living in a cozy nest on top of the tank, between it and the boot floor. Whether this was during its former’s working vehicle or since it’s been parked up waiting for us to get it back on the road is unclear.
