## Discrepancy

UPON REMOVAL OF AUXILIARY FUEL TANK AND FLOORBOARD, DISCOVERED THE REAR CARRY-THROUGH SPAR WAS CORRODED BEYOND REPAIR.  MECHANIC NOTES THAT ACCESS TO THIS AREA FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION IS NOT ACCESSIBLE.  MECHANIC SUGGESTS INSTALLATION OF INSPECTION PANELS IN THIS AREA TO ALLOW VISUAL INSPECTION CAPABILITIES OF REAR CARRY-THROUGH SPAR AFT FACE.
