It depends if you replace the whole panel or just the boot floor part - the
complete original panel arches forwards and up over the axle and forms the
'dog shelf' behind the seats. The part panel ends at the edge where boot
meets axle arch. Even the part one needs some care, because the rear
springs mount to this panel, so you have to make sure you get things lined
up correctly before it's all welded up; however, if you leave the
reinforcing pieces in place where the spring hangers mount, this should
give you a reference point to line up against. Depending on why you're
replacing it, it might be easier still to just replace the strip at the
back where it joins the rear vertical panel, as this tends to be the bit
that rusts first.
