Hi Paul,

Keep it up!

Like you I was obsessed with making things water tight but it dawned on me that it it rains, the inside of the car is going to get wet! So if a little comes through the sides etc., it won't be noticed when it meets the stuff coming through the gaping hole where most cars have a roof!.

I can understand why you will want to keep the boot dry but the realist in me thinks that drain holes might be a better friend than seals!

I have made a fair bit of progress recently (too lazy to update my thread but I shall) and the realisation (outlined above) has led me to decide (for the time being) to make the body fully removable so that I can return quickly to the moon rover stage if I need to carry out any significant work.

I know that there are disadvantages as well as advantages to this approach but I thought I would share just in case this option is swimming around in that Sammio Thinkotorium that we call our heads.
