Wow I don't think I have ever seen such clean brake drums lol top work she is looking stunning.

Stunning!!  Quick Question what material are the break/Fuel lines made from? Steel, S/S, Cupro
I cannot make out from the photos

Fuel line is Stainless steel and the brake pipe is cupro. Go to the top of the class

 

 

I build support stuff for the Air-force mostly in S/S and wanted to do my mini in full stainless steel with double ferrel connections but could not find a suitable way of making the flares and olive connections without over engineering it.

Im in awe at the quality of this car. Much better than museum quality!

Will you ever drive the car or will it always be a show piece?

Initially there's a couple of shows that the car will be trailered to like the stafford show at the end of January .
It'll mean some very early starts leaving Deal Kent to get to the shows in the Birmingham area in an 850cc traveller.

Just read this start to finish and this is absolutely stunning.  Have a car with 200hrs of paint and bodywork 583hours scares the living daylights out of me for labour costs!  Props to you for doing it though.  Cant wait to see this someday.

Small update I've started fitting the wood which is going really well lots of trimming but sitting really well without any screws at the moment

Where did you source the wood from Spike 25? There are several places sell it so just interested in your experience (mine still has the original but it's getting tired now)
