Would have loved to go and get the necessary stuff today, but I needed to get the Mini running again after my idiocy with leaving the park lights on :\

Not really an update, but I tidied up my house and packed all the parts that need to be fitted onto the couch:
Still need to sandblast and paint the brake dust shields, buy paint for the hubs and paint them and then finish assembling the brake calipers and brakes... Lots to do and it's quite intimidating. :|

A massive thank you to Tim (timmy850) on TMF, for sending this steering wheel badge to me, all the way from Australia! I really appreciate it. It looks really good and would look great when I get the steering wheel restored.

From the UK forum or from the Aus forum?
Nevertheless nice item.

A friend on TMF in Aus found it for sale and I asked if he could post it to me.

I've been considering a set of Lucas Square 8 spot lights for my Mini, since they were a optional extra on the 1275 E back in the 80s. I couldn't find a set locally and another problem was that, those on eBay listed at decent prices didn't offer international shipping and those with international shipping were rather expensive or were new. So I started looking at other Lucas spotlights. I really wanted to stick with Lucas, as they would have been a period mod in the 60/70s too. I then found a set, made a bid and by a lucky chance, I won the item at a really good price. Shipping was also decently priced and the item arrived within a week of it being shipped. Here are some photos:

The paint on the back is a bit worn, so it might be worth getting them resprayed.

The actual spot light is also a little big, when compared to the size of the grille. I'm not too sure that it will look good when mounted, but looking at some of the similar clubmans with large spotlights, it might actually look cool.
