Thoroughly enjoying your restoration work.

When I did my interior I was advised by a certain London-based specialist to line (glue) the inside doors with sheet plastic to prevent ingress of water behind the door panels via all the cut outs. I did this although I made my panels out of thin ply instead of the original millboard so not that susceptible to damp.

I have also, after more advice, run some rubber door seal on the inside, upper edge of the door frames to stop water running off the gutter and finding its way into the car. This has stopped any water entering the car via the doors.

Have you glued the sound-proofing to the roof? If not you may find it will eventually sag onto the headlining material after time. I was doing a Slough car so fixings may be different.

Keep the great work up and keep posting!
