(I did this this afternoon when I caught two asian type fisherman trying to catch fish in the drivers side floor pan). Long term solution is to pull front and rear screens, reseal (after dealing with any screen cancer) and then looking around for other subtle leaks. (and of course hanging a no fishing sign on the handbrake).
hahahaha...they must be doing the rounds of many a Torana owners in Sydney this week ....but seriuosly i will have a good look at the screens and the firewall/heater seals too, thanks for the replies guys
Cheers,

Its good to take off the heater box anyway to check for rust the may build up under the heater box.

The hole in the panel doesn't always line up with the bottom of the plenum so water can collect on top, you can only see this with the guard removed.
Also if your trying to find a leak, remove the carpets and sprinkle talc powder on the floor and on the side panel, it makes it easier to find the leak.
Do you have the plastic liners behind the door trims? With these missing, and the car parked at an angle, water can hit the back of the trim and run onto the floor.

You do realise that there are plugs in the floor that you can remove to drain water right? Or that if you can't get them off you could use a sponge to get rid of the excess then a heater to dry the last bit?Had the same problem got the cordless drill and drilled the floor pan in a few places for the water to run out
