What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Ian Williams]

I agree with comments about over engineering and this may help, my old special was built with a 1.6mm alloy floor 1.2mm firewall/bulkhead, the seat back was 12mm ply, the body sides 6mm ply with 12mm doublers along the open cockpit edges, it was fabric covered, I used traditional wadding under the hooding vinyl to avoid the over stuffed look you get using thin foam underlay. I have one or two construction pictures which I will endeavour to find for you if that will be of assistance, the car was light and survived 30 years of hard used before I rolled it.
