been advised that i should treat the inners

it has a rear conversion in it just now so i will need to work out the removal of this first.
once this is off how are the panels held on ?
afraid i cant see much until conversion is out - i assume its more or less clips same as the door panels? and there is a screw cubby hole in the middle

then i assume it's just waxoil squirted down inside?

Depending on the type of conversion that you have it should be possible to inject waxoil via the gas bottle cupboard and via the rear light cluster once removed. The problem is that you are working a bit blind can't see well enough to see if there is any rust that needs treating before injecting the waxoil.

and however or when ever you do it dont forget to pull all the seat belts out to the full extent or you will get them covered in the waxoil while on the cassette #-o #-o #-o

And warm the Waxoyl up before you use it to make it thinner so that it will get into all the joints better .
