Hi Space,
Inner or outer?
If you mean outer then... I wish - that would mean not only had I tracked down the 2 I've been looking for for ages, but that I also had 1 spare! (in other words, sorry dude, but no this car doesn't have one either
)
If you mean inner, it's been cut to suit the rear strut brace.

Yep, that's pretty drokked!

Where the fins aren't missing, they're completely blocked with crap... How this was working (which it was!) is anyones guess

Unusually though, it's a full metal rad - copper tanks top/bottom with soldered in core and everything, so it is actually repairable (if only my local car rad repair company hadn't closed down a few years ago

Pics of the mirrors and passenger door. Sorry it's taken a while, I've been working flat out on the cars in the evenings and not had much time to post up pics.
Drivers wing mirror;



All intact and fully working. The paint has crazed/flaking off though. It looks like the body wasn't primed before it was painted.
Passenger wing mirror;

The mirror itself has had something stuck to it previously and the glue residue is left behind. It does clean off ok though.


Same paint issue as the drivers side. Crazed/flaking off because it wasn't primed prior to painting.
Otherwise all intact, electric adjust works perfectly, but electric fold needs a prod to get started on fold in and to finish on fold out. I believe that can be fixed relatively easily though or the mechanisms can definitely be swapped over from your old one instead if that works ok.
Passenger door is all straight, no rust etc.




It has the bronze tint glass atm. If that's not the same tint as yours, it can be swapped (and I'd happily keep the glass as spare for Lisa's!)
The only 'issue' with it is that it's been resprayed at some point in the past and it's not a great spray job. The surface lacquer coat is great, nice and smooth and shiny etc. but it looks like the colour coat underneath that was either applied too thickly or not rubbed down before lacquering. I've tried to take a pic showing the effect here;

You can see it when you're up close but otherwise it looks fine.
I haven't got the top suspension arms off yet, but will do over the weekend (weather willing...)
Let me know if these bits are ok for you or not what you were looking for. Like you say, you're not far away so if you want to come and have a look at them in person and make your mind up then, that's fine also.
Cheers,
