Weather strip doesn't go all the way around. It ends on either side of the latch.

OK, should stop either side of the latch bracket visible in the photo? What was the reason for that?

As to the tool bag, I wasn't including the loose parts just yet - kinda a few other priorities to come first (like seats, interior trim, radiator and coolant hoses etc.)!! I'm trying to go for the London dealer showroom look, then I can spend a few years putting some honest patina on it.

Educated guess, ventilation. The seals were installed haphazardly and rarely if ever evenly spaced end gap wise. The amount of adhesive used ranged from almost enough to way too much. If the gap is perfectly centered then AC Cars probably didn't do it based on my observations of original paint cars.

Hey I don't see the rolled tool bag! Come on!! Geez!

It looks awesome! I like that you've correctly painted the trunk as opposed to bright polished or brushed aluminum I see so often. Nice job!
