Well done Joe! So good to see and hear all the hard work pay off.

Brilliant Joe, well done, the motor sounds good running that must be a relief, also everything it coming together at last with light at the end of the tunnel.

Looking good. Nice boot/trunk lid fit. Can be a fiddle to get right.

The S type is looking really good that is an excellent paint job by the way it's coming along fine, what's next then Joe.

Thanks Dave....finishing up the sound deadening and then onto the interior shop. The interior is expected to be shipped after the New Year.


Merry Christmas everyone.....

Just a tip Joe. The under seat cross member & the upright under the back seat have no sound deadning material. Vinyl & carpet is glued directly onto the metal work.

Great timing...starting that section next week.
Happy New Year,

True Glyn but I doubt it will matter much if you do put the sound deadening everywhere it will go as it will all be hidden under the carpet. I do agree with on the upright under the back seat though. This as Glyn said just has Vinyl material glued to the metal and if you put sound deadening material on this surface it might be too thick and you will catch it with your heels when sat in the back. My car had sound deadening on the cross members and on the drive shaft tunnel. It was made from Hardura and was stuck on. Took ages trying to rip it up. The sills were also covered with this Hardura sound deadening material.
I found having bought an aftermarket carpet set designed for the S Type I ended up having to cut the carpet with slits under the seats to make it go around the corners and to sit flat around the runners without bolting the carpet to the floor under the runners. All my old carpets had been removed and binned before I bought the car so not sure if bolting them under the seat runners is correct or not.
