RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Jared Mk3 - 07-17-2016
At last, a very small bit of progress. I fitted the grille bar to the bonnet today with 5 small brackets. Still some work to do and see about the brackets touching on the body.
Looks decent :

Quick question, how is the delivery time on orders from minispares? and any issues with them?

About a week or so, depending on how quick they are to pack the items etc. No issues - if there are, contact them and they'll help.

I fitted the other MC expansion tube (also just really enjoy seeing the faces in the engine bay) :

Test fitted the bonnet straps - just need to do some work on getting them to be tight :

Like those Bonnet mirrors were they model specific?

Mostly period add-ons, rather than standard fare I imagine.

Decided on the hooter I'll be using for the car :

Also, I took the flywheel and clutch off today to do the oil seal sometime. I've never done this before, so was a bit unsure. Turned out to be a 10min job with no hassles - something will definitely go wrong later on then. The clutch is still in great condition (excuse the dirt and leaves; August winds don't help) :
