Cheers guys,

got a bit of a roof leak!

When I say a bit of a roof leak I mean it drowns me every time I go down hill in the rain( if I go up hill it just fills the back up, which I can live with, but I've got to go downhill to get off the driveway)

I assume its a common problem as I've seen it mentioned a few times, do you think siliconing the crimp holes in the external gutter will fix it? as I can only guess that's how the internal gutters are filling and showering me
 
For soundproofing you can get some thick underlay from somewhere like carpet right and coat everything in it , doing 2 layers of foam with foil between in a few places and then carpet on top. Cheaper than buying the proper soundproofing and its sort of the same stuff :)
 
Closed cell foam from a show better as it will not absorb water.

Looking to quieten mine down
 
Looks great lots of hard work into it, wish i had your welding skills new chassis for me :-(, looking forward to see you finish off the last details
 
Did a bit this morning,

Silicones the driver side gutters, hopefully this will stop the flooding! ( the silicone looks ****e in the pic, I promise its ok in real life;))

And fitted a bit of the fancy roof membrane I acquired from a roofer on site for my new tub floor covering

Took her on her maiden laning voyage today under the tutelage of turboman.

Best part of 200 miles covered without any funny noises, some lanes that were slightly more challenging than I expected on my first go, but all in all a bloody good day

Will post some pics on another Fred when mrs B comes back from the shops with the camera( and my tea)
