Refitted water pump and fan
Refitted oil filter bracket and banjo

Awesome Steeley!!   My daughter (age 13) is also involved with our Mini restoration.  She was fascinated to hear about your daughter.

I've been rounding up excess parts in the shed to make some money back. I didn't realise how much stuff I had till I looked through! I found three extra cranks (in addition to the 4 "spare" ones) and I must have had 7 gearboxes in varying condition.

Fitted a new horn, new indicator and window wiper stalks. Fitted a temp switch to my radiator for the electric fan to run when it should (not all the time as it was)

Having spent almost 2 week's of evenings of measuring, cutting, trimming, wiring and fitting a new dashboard, radio and front and rear speakers finally got it all fitted and working only to discover that the iPod integration unit that I kept from an old car won't work with the current iPhones. I'd even built a little phone shelf into the dashboard.
