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....

I agree with the suggestions above, but best check the longs for rust (if you haven't already done so), because a Cellette Bench or any other frame machine can litterally pull a car apart if there is significant rust damage. A local shop owner was telling me a couple of weeks ago how that happened when they tried to fix a customer's 70 914-6. So you'll need to fix any significant uni-body rust before you "stretch" it back in square on a frame machine. Also make sure the selected shop has the proper 914 fixtures & dimensions for it (they're posted at "914 info" up along the top of the webpage here).
