I like the short brake pipe on the rear subframe,more room for a mistake rather than the short one.

Re: Time lapse of “Brittas Cooper” Restoration
These are just a pair of classic aftermarket mirrors. I bought them on ebay. They are not specified for a special car, so they don't seem to be rare. But I don't know the manufacturer, sorry.java gt wrote:Lovely Doc,where did you get those mirrors?They really suit the Mini.
@ rich
the ex rear pocket area is already coveres with a matching carpet.
Now my previous focus is on the engine bay
