Check the plenum, you will see on the passenger side there is a panel with a cut out ( on the Drivers side it is the same, but had your windscreen motor in it.) the rubber sael perishes and when rain water builds up in the try it rises enough to overflow into the cabin. Seal it around the edge with sikaflex.
Another point is any wiring that goes through the bulkhead with a grommet, and also the junction of the welds in the corner of the engine bay where the inner guard and bulk head meat, run some sikaflex across that also.

fitted some proper seats

nah mate, cause its a 2 door with the folding base had to fab up some brackets to mount them on. have heard with the 4 doors you just need the classic seat frame and swap it in.

no clearance issues with the console, sits perfect.

yep a 87 classic.

Mmmm....interesting. My drivers seat diaphragm crapped itself earlier this year and although I acquired another D1 seat as a straight swap - it wasn't! Current thought is to go to a motor trimmer and swap over the diaphragm, but a couple of seats from a 4 door RRC might do the trick nicely - if they fit of course.

id go the rangie seats any day, they're so comfy. just be aware you might have to do a little welding and cutting depending on what bits you can score from a wreck.

the diagram swap on a D1 is a very simple job. More DIY than motor trimmer.
