I have managed to source 2 rear pieces of stainless steel side trim and from drivers side. Really struggling to source the rest. Does anyone have any or can anyone tell me what to use in place of the original side trim?

i got it from a guy in glossop. he's a real mini enthusiast. the car has no rust but whilst it is naked I'm going to rustproof the bit that usually can't be reached. I have been advised to use diotrol. Any suggestions????

Hi, this looks like a fab project in really good starting condition. See the link below for the recommendations from this guy's tests. I'm going with Pete's recommendation for my current project. Too much good work to see it rot away.

Ok, So I'm having the seatbelt brackets welded in on Monday and then the car should be almost finished the following Saturday. The car starts and sounds really great!

Ok so I finished UPR and here she is! I drove her for the fist time on sunday and it was a real treat. The light was fading when I took the pictures so I will post some more soon.
