Van going for respray, westie club joker 1.6 td.
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Stripped off most external bits for prep, and decided to tackle any interior probs (rust repairs, waxoil etc) whilst the chance is available.
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Removed fridge/sink unit/side cupboards (not wardrobe thing), removed side card and yellow stuff, didn't look too bad.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Looked down the side between exterior skin and interior paneling where card fits..... WOW
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Fair bit of water down this side but towards rear (just in front of rear wheel arch where it gets lower), about 2ltrs of water was sponged out
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Thing is, where's the bu**er coming from?
![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
Anyone any ideas of likely places to look for leaks? I can't see anything obvious. Floor looks ok except up against the left edge inner skin, where there is some rust (will get treated) but no holes?
Was wondering about either the rear wheel arch (throwing water inside when in wet) or seams allowing water in?
My intentions are...
Remove and treat interior rust.
Repaint over affected area.
Waxoil as much as possible of the inside whilst everything out (floors coming out as well)
Refit and re-seal windows after respray.
Find where waters getting in and fix it.

So...
Where should I look for the culprit "holes"?
Any tips for treating the rust?
Any other jobs worth doing whilst its stripped down?
Any hints, tips and advice gratefully received
