I put a very small bore bumper overrider rubber edge around the moustache and grille as I was terrified that the sharp edges would cut into the paint, so far only one person who has spotted it and he restoring a woody for a customer and is going to do the same to his. 

He used small threaded clips for the moustache ends and secured them with small nuts on the rear which I thought was a good idea.

By the way your car looks absolutely Fantastic Spike.

Happy new year to you.

Happy new year .

Small amount of progress in one hand but a missive milestone in the other I've managed to get the rear door rubbers to fit right so I can close the doors

Hi,

Also have a 1961 woody traveller, grew up with it & my first car. Been in family since 1962.....all original, now being restored with mostly original parts. Lots of hard work ahead!

Looking good & now on home run as the worst part done! Mostly assembly now!

Nothing happening until the end of March as I'm having the wood Taylor made so all the wood grain matches each side. Then I'll be flat out getting it ready for the summer shows

Wayne is a great guy , At one point he was very close to buying my MK Cooper ( STG 95F) . As he wanted a Mini 

 

All the best  Ian

I'm not surprised . When I saw STG at utoxeter for me you've set the bench mark on restored mini's .
Absolutely amazing job
