Going to hit it with another coat of zinc paint and then a thin layer of dynax seam sealer just to cover any small pin holes. https://uploads.tapata...

With the roof up on blocks ( I’d suggest getting help.... :whistle I could try and find the culprit for the puddle of water In the drivers footwell. https://i.imgur.com/wTqzwfs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/U5ZADIg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YECkS2v.jpg https://i.imgur.com/m5JQugF.jpg Around the van; The bac...
