Why would you remove half of the bit that doesn't rust, to expose more of the elements to the bit that does rust?

Are the fronts of the bodies not always rotten too?

The chassis bend without the drain hole is just in front of the back axle.

Mate of mine had did a disco 1 , rear cut down to door height and added an ifor Williams top. Took stock to market in it for years, Sadly it failed the mot a year or two ago due to chassis issues.

He now has an upmarket disco td5 with rear seats removed and ply lined it , blacked up windows. Looks quite smart till you see the replacement "90" style rear tailgate

Tempting as it may be to have such an honour I have to admit to using a handheld circular saw with fine teeth and an actual tape measure, a straight edge and a pencil.
The grinder has a flap disk in for finishing the edges.

I have been looking at one of these though.

Ideal for trimming the ends off fencing rails etc.

That disc must be up there in dangerous tools!
I'm all for a 9 inch with no guard but that scares me!

Make sure it comes with a 22mm bore, not 14. Pain in the arse making it fit. They're great though.
