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 covered mine with plastic held on by ‘Gaffa tape’ 😆 (it can be very useful – also wrapped the inner sides of the wheels over the rivets to contain air loss)

Out of interest is the 11B ‘Big boot’ floor different to the 11BL?

My BL has a panel above the fuel sender held in with 2 screws and a flap in the matting above that so it can be accessed if needed and I didn’t notice one in your pictures Ian.
