Wrong
The weather here is rotten and so is my campers ar?e end
So, since I can't get anything done I thought I'd see if you guys can pass on any advise to help me get it sorted out 
The story so far : viewtopic.php?f=58&t=43816&start=0
When I bought my van the only welding needed was to the r/o/s inner wheel arch, which I got done before starting the camper conversion,everywhere else was solid enough.
However during the build I'd noticed damp patches on the plywood under the bed/seat I'd built at the rear. I eventually traced it to be coming in the window seal and had formed a puddle exactly where I'd had it welded. So I tried removing the solid bead from the window, pulled back the rubber to clean it out then ran some sealer behind the rubber, which made a right mess when I replcaed the bead. To back this up I used expanding foam in the crevices around the window inside.
After all that the b@?t!*d's still leaking.
So the window has to come out
I've done windscreens before so thought it should be simple enough to remove, seal and replace the window...
Wrong
Getting it out was indeed quite simple, but getting it back in was a nightmare because the rust around the window frame acted like sharks teeth on the string no matter how much fairy liq I used. I'd read on here that somebody used speaker wire and (my favourite tipple) WD40 so tried that too. Still snapped,so back to string and try again
All in it took me and three mates 2 hours to get the bugger back in
Thankfully it is now sealed and staying dry, so tetra-sealed the panels again and replaced the damp insulation. also had to make a new inner panel as the old one was damp and rotting.
Tought I'd better check the other side and Oh sh1t!
The near-side window was leaking too, but thankfully the window frame wasn't as bad as the o/s one so I got it sealed ok. The puddle wasn't there only because it had rotted a drain hole in the floor and was now working it's way through the inner rear over hang!
Just for good measure, I checked the n/s/r wheel arch and more oh.......!
And yes, the other side had gone too!
Had enough? cause there's more.......
The rear cross-member,which I'd noted a couple of 10p sized holes in decided to show it's true colours when I got pssd off and wacked everywhere with a hammer
What a difference from last year when I parked her up to start the conversion. I'd been so busy with the build that I hadn't washed off last winters salt and I'm paying for it now.
I've been quoted 400 QUID to put it right by an arrogant tosser of a welder, to whom my reply began and ended with an "F".
So I pit the word out to my mates that I was looking for a welder and in the proccess ended up buying a wee mig for 50 quid-and it dosen't f'in work
Thankfully, the bloke that sold it likes his knee-caps where they are and is sorting it out with a new liner, etc.
At this stage I'm thinking about just maxing out my credit card to get it done, but the Mrs just reminded me that divorces cost even more!!!
Is 400 takin the mick for this amount of work, I've bought a length of chassis to use on the rear cross-member
My welding skills are very much "under development", so do any of you think I'll be able to do it myself
It's still p1ssn down outside so Ahm away to get p1ssd
By the way, If you've got any ideas (other than weighing it in) I'd be glad to hear them.
So well chuffed 
though it meant having to lift some of the wooden floor, which we'd hoped we wouldn't have to do.
