I have found what seems to be the stadard rust in the boot floor of my classic (rotted down each side of the main section) not serious but annoying. How hard is it to remove this section? I ask as I have the alloy boot floor from an earlier 5 door classic and buying 2 disco floors woudl seem pointless scince I already have the alloy one (and the two bits of rubber that sit at each end).
Curiously the car I took it from had no rot on the edges it sits in which I thought was odd.

I patched my edge pieces as my centre was steel I replaced it, have a look at the pics in my profile album.

It was no fun , I had three days to do it but they ended up being 20hrs long and it nearly killed me, if I had more time it wouldnt have been so bad but needs must........
 
In fact the corrosion is above the area where the stregtheners are (were!!) welded to the side sections. The alloy floors don't have this bit. What I found really odd was the fact the alloy one showed no rot in either the alloy section or the two steel sections! Normally I woudl expect the earlier veriosion to be far more rot prone. I have seen your pics! mine is nothing like as bad!! I may even repare the steel secion and put it on ebay when I have got the alloy one in!
 
Yeah the later ones seem much worse , I have seen 3 doors with better boot floors than 94 lse's
