Ready to cut wood

Removed the bumper, cleaned out the rest of the rear underbelly, and took out the two remaining rear bolts prior to cutting the bad section of wood out. One of the bolts torqued off, on the other the nut actually ran all the way off with only a rachet - I thought sure I would have to break out the impact tools.

The more I poked around at the wood in the rear the more I found needed replacing - actually, more damage was apparent after I removed the rear underbelly.

Pic one - Bumper and trunk removed.
Pic two - Rear underbelly exposed.
Pic three - Wood damage from underneath.
Pic four - Black tank bulkhead.
Pic five - Curbside interior rear panel removed.
Pic six - Rear center panel removed.
Pic seven - Rear floor damage - driver's side (rear) interior lower quarter panel.
