Growler, can you get soundproofing/insulating sheet by the roll like....?  rubschin:

Never had reason to purchase any tbqh, but I would imagine so, yes.

Do you have stockists of upholstery material out there, or is this going to have to be sourced from the UK?

I've managed to get the seats re-upholstered here... good job and cheap too!  :thumbsup:

I've bought a new set of carpets from the UK...

But I want to put some underlay under the carpet and soundproof/insulate the bulkhead and roof... also the rear seat, etc.

I can buy an underlay set for £25 from Somerford.

I'm wondering what to put on the roof, inside the doors, etc.

This looks okay....

As Sleazy Jet are apparently doing flights over there now, I'd really like to come over for a weekend when the car is completed and going to be displayed at a classic car show. cloud9:
Next summer p'raps?

P'raps Nick could come with me, and I could p'raps bale him out at 35,000 feet! :thumbsup:
