		Rear leaf springs before removing... Due to the fact of getting carried away, I forgot to take pictures of how it came apart.
		After disassembly the rear leaf springs, I found that two of the springs on the left side were broken. This being spring #2 and #4, from the longest to the shortest. After spending a little bit of time on-line researching the cost and if I could replace just these two springs, I decided I would simply weld them back together and see what happens.
		After grinding away the rust and chamfering the edges, I clamped the broken spring to the adjacent spring and went to work.
