A litte update on my restoration....
Have cleaned all polished all the original parts for the doors, so they will be fitted this weekend..
Also fitted a Stadium overtaker mirror to it today.... that type just looks great on the mini, and with no drilling.. I like it...

I found that NOS one in an old garage a few years ago. Just saved it to this rebuild..
They come up on eBay sometimes..
There's a used one on now...

The original mounted seatbelts had a overhauling with new chrome and galvanized on the differents parts. Now monunted into the car again.
Also had the last few original trims done, and fitted, with a NOS pair of door kick plates...
