Can't see anything wrong with those.
Just like the original BMC Mini!

Hi. There has been some progress with the cortina. The trouble is that other life things get in the way.

I thought you must have been very proud of the engine bay and motor install :lol:
Certainly looking good, have you had a drive in it yet?

Just a drive around the block. Feels like it always was. Very happy with it but the cost has run away a bit. :(

John,
If you fit just the side glass & forget the front & back ones you’ll have a really good aircon system… except when it rains. 🤔😁

And, considering weight transfer, I reckon you don’t need to bother with brakes at the rear. 😳😀

The door is probably essential though. 😜
Oh, and the spiffy interior.

Though I reckon if you’re desperate you could get away with a stackable plastic chair with a piece of rope for a seatbelt. 🤣
Regards & God bless,
Ray
