Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
Not a lot to update but I’ve been tracking down some parts.
First up is a rare one correct 16oz glass washer bottle and lid
A BMC accessory internal bonnet opening kit
An optional 10 row oil cooler kit with pipes thanks to Nick W

Dropped a set of NOS steel wheels and a rivited 59 steel (for the spare) down to the sand blasters, they should be back any day now

Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
That is going to be BRILLIANT!
It looked a right horror to begin with All that rust and underseal - it reminded me of the first Mini I ever bought, well over 50 years ago. There's nothing new about Minis rusting

Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
Wow thanks for all the positive comments!
It was definitely worse to begin with than I initially anticipated however I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A big part of the parts have come from forum members. Hoping for the car to be at Blyton in may

Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
Absolutely stunning project. You’re really cooking up a storm with this! Truly beautiful, and a pleasure to watch it unfold. One day I’ll get my car up to this standard!
Thanks for keeping us all up to speed!

Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
Not a whole lot to report, got the wheels back from blasting
Painted in some high build primer.
Then some top coat and lacquer
Not sure why I only have photos of two, gave the hubcaps a good polish whilst I was at it.

Re: Shorrock supercharged 850
A friend gifted me some original interior parts that needed a small amount of DIY
Also picked up this nice accessory brochure from 1960
