Hi Howard,
The upholsterer is a very talented chap. Nothing has phased him at all, which given that it isn't a production car is quite something. He's also been happy to take the initiative where I hadn't made the design obvious. I get almost daily updates and there have been very few difficulties.
The seams around the roof are covered by the gutters and an ali strip across the back, just the same as an aluminium or fabric Austin saloon. All the other edges are tucked away where you don't see them - behind the sill panels and under the door rebates.
There is a still a mountain of work to do so it won't be finished this summer. Amazing how many detail fittings there are to find, restore and fit, and of course Ruairidh and I both have the distraction of businesses to run!
