OK Guys down to the nitty gritty.........on the steel chassis cars
was there a rubber gasket on all the members that the body shell sat 
on. When I removed the shell from the frame origionally I do remember
a draft seal kind of foam on a couple of tubes but not on all........
maybe it had decintegrated over the years.
 Also, obviously there is a trunk seal that sits in the trough 
surrounding the "boot" sorry!.....is there supposed to be a seal 
where the bonnet comes down and sits in the slot just in front of the 
windshield as well as where it comes down and meets the top of the 
fenders.As far as the door seals go I will be using a generic bubble
seal as used on the 80's and 90's GM's.
  One other question does anyone know the origin of the electric 
window cranks I am in need of one.........on the suybject of interior 
door release handles I have an excellent source of British parts up 
here in Canada and I have been told that the Ford Prefect possibly
used the same handles as the Marcos, I should find out if they will 
work by next week if they do I will let you guys know .
  Pics of finished painted shell to follow.......finally
            Cheers Dave #5577

Hi Dave,

There was some sort of cushioning material placed between the chassis and
body but I don't know what it is/was. I would imagine (at least I would
hope) it would not be made of foam because that would hold moisture and
promote rust. 

There is a broad cushioning material where the bonnet rim meets the slot in
front of the windshield. I replaced mine last year with something from
Canadian Tire but it doesn't do the job properly because it's too thin and
compresses too easily. The original was made of a tough dense foam but it
was 20 years old and looked worn. I'm looking around for something more
appropriate but haven't found anything yet. 

The motors used for the electric windows are from a Jaguar (Mark X I think,
I'd have to look it up). 

The interior door handles on the later of the earlier cars come from the
MGB. I replaced one after the plastic handle snapped a few years ago,
sourced from Penninsular in Oakville.

Thanks Paul
   The part I am after on the windows is the crank part that the 
motor bolts to, I have posted a picture of the part in the photos 
section
if it is a Jag piece thats great I'm sure I can find one.
   The interior handle is the door latch release handle I think you 
are referring to the pull handle that you use to close the door.
    Cheers Dave#5577

Don
  Yes that is the handle ,the little lever that opens the door from 
the inside........I don't have anything to compare it to because they 
were both missing from my car.........as I said in an earlier post I 
have found a place that has quite an inventory of British parts and
a guy who knows about them,I will let you know if the handle works
BTW the TVR 2500,s used a lever type handle on their doors also, 
maybe that might be sourced easier
         Cheers Dave #5577

Like the door seal without the rubber??  I had nothing in the 
trough.  I put the GM style rubber seal around the lip of the trunk

Hi Dave,

I AM referring to the interior door latch release. In my car, it's
rectangular in shape with a black plastic insert which pivots at the rear
edge. It's off an MGB. Believe me. Maybe your car is a little older and uses
something else.

Regards,
       Paul

Mine's got a curved chrome handles that are screwed into the 
mechanism at one end and it looks (from Rimmer Bros site - 
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/) very much like the Triumph Vitesse one.

Cheers.

Hi Paul 
     I can picture what your release handle looks like now......I
have a 1969 and the handles on it were a long thin chrome piece about
4" long and about .5" in diameter........the ones off the Prefect I 
was speaking of didn't work but while I was away this weekend I came 
across a British restoration shop in Sarnia and I picked up 2 handles
which were listed as Healey 3000 handles....they will work nicely , 
they are shaped a bit different to the ones I think I needed but they
don't look out of place. I was also able to get a new clutch slave 
cylinder that I had been looking for....it was off a 1970-76 
TR6........the 4 speed trans is a Rover so go figure that one
          Cheers Dave #5577

Hi Ron
    Thanks for the info.......I don't have a cross section of what 
the door seal should look like but I know Spae-Naur offerS quite a 
few different thicknesses of that GM style bubble seal, I hope I can 
find one that works
         Cheers Dave #5577
