Hi. A few more pics. Had her for a 4 whole days now and she has done more miles in 4 days than in the last 3 years. Generally no problems other than the wing mirror falling off (Stuck on with Supper Glue ! ). Turns out its the wrong wing mirror anyway, so Im chasing a replacement.

Great to see one so beautifully finished. Are you able to advise with regards to where you sourced some other parts. At the moment Im after weather strips / rubber seals for both doors and rear windows. Iv managed to get everything else but these see difficult as Im not wanting to pay £1k for a strip of rubber !

Also - Who refurbished your wood work for you, Thats next on the list. Thanks

Really, So is it possible to fit 'Generic' seals ?

Thanks Harry. I'm going to give it a try, great help cheers.

Wow, your skilled professional background is evident in your work here. What a great job.
My seals are shot and beyond refurbishment. I was out the other day and the heavens opened, water was pouring in on both doors. I have contacted John Haynes [e-mail] Merc Indi specialist to see what they recommend...... Will let you know.
