Well my car has been going like a champion since i finished it about a month ago and i just cant get enough of driving it. It has now been all the way to Le Mans and been all over the UK a couple of time, but driving in the rain is a very miserable experience...
Not just because of the lack of heat (got some SSHE coming thanks to Jamie though!) but mostly the amount of water that is able to run into the car via the window/ roof seal. This happens at the back of the window on the drivers side and top of the vent window on the pass' side. Is my roof/ windscreen frame bent or is it the whole car and to be expected after 38years and massive amounts of cutting and welding....

My guess would be that your car is bent. Somewhere around here there is a drawing of the car with dimensions on it that will tell you what the distance between the windshield and the targa bar should be. I have looked at car doing cross-sighting the targa and the windshield frame to see if they are parallel. That car was bent and we cut it up.
