Very nice, MOT sucks you need to dress up your car all the way otherwise such a classy car may not pass on it based on my knowledge in Wheeler Dealer Episodes ,sorry if my thoughts a bit cheeky on it lol

Barry,
What did you end up doing with your door seals? Or, are they on the car in the photo?

Congrats on progress!

I partly installed a 'hard' set some 10 yrs ago, not happy with them, hence the comments. I am still looking into whats available, can only get a sample of what is available via ebay( D section). I will put some words together over the weekend!!!! as to the position, for those interested.

And here's me thinking my seven years to rebuild a Mark 2 from a bare shell was a very long time !! I did mine in the 80s (81-88)
