...carpet fitted to the inside of the door panels (against the outer skin), finishes it nicer and gives abit of sound deadening. The door cards are mocked up ready to be covered in old english vinyl. I was just going to cover the hardboard but thinking it may be better to use some acrylic sheet.



Final fitting of the fibreglass (wings, bonnet, bumpers, engine lid) is under way. I was going to order original rubber seals but thought that the chances of them fitting correctly was fairly minimal. So I got some single sided P.U foam, in 13mm and 6mm thickness....

First step is to mark where to place the tape, the new waxed finish on the paint wouldn't let masking tape stick. So with the bumper in place I simple used a heavy lead pencil (6B) to mark the position, then remove the bumper and applied the foam tape whilst slightly stretching it to follow the curves...





I did fit an original rubber bonnet seal but the fit was nowhere near, the bonnet sat really high. I am guessing this was a combination of the thicker fibreglass bonnet and also the weight difference vs the original steel. So used the 13mm foam tape and it fits really well...just needs some tweaking of the wing bolts to compress the tape in place...












Love allen bolts.....used nylon washers against all fibreglass parts
