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

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

That is going to be BRILLIANT! 8-)
It looked a right horror to begin with :o 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 ;)

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

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! :)

Not sure why I only have photos of two, gave the hubcaps a good polish whilst I was at it.

A friend gifted me some original interior parts that needed a small amount of DIY
