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

Love this little car already!

You’ve collected some bazzin bits!

Fantastic project! Very similar to my new one.

Absolutely love this!

Great project. Look forward to seeing it on the road.

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

This is definitely one car I can't wait to see!

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 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.

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