i commend you for your dedication. all the challanges of a vaccum fuel system explains why the previous owner of my 23 buick “lost” the top portion of my unit. i’ve been using an electric fuel pump with a regulator set to one psi to run my car. -
i ordered a genius charger. i have an old optima 6 volt battery to hopefully get functioning again along with a couple of old dead 12volt regular batteries.

good time to try a 50-50 mix of acetone and atf. supposed to penetrate better than anything else. (i have not tried it.)

i just use aluma seal. seems to do the job. i read somewhere that GM used bars stop leak by the railroad boxcar load on the production line. of course there is the old standby... egg whites and also pepper.

my 1923 buick used the engine number on the title when i first bought it 15 years ago. after i found the vin on the frame i took the car back to the arizona motor vehicle department by my house and they verified the two numbers and issued me a new title with the frame vin. took an hour and a few bucks but worth it.

i suggest just get it running and driving safely first. if the body and paint are original... just give it a good cleaning and wax... even if not perfect. ditto the interior.

maybe i'll try that atf trick on an old tire... i have a quart of old cheap atf in a damaged leaking old style can.

cool mini. and made in italy? i would guess old fiat key blanks. in 1965 my neighbor bought a new austin cooper s. that was such a fun car. later in 1967 i bought a 1964 mg 1100 sedan. also fun until the crankshaft broke at the #4 throw rod. then sold it to an amigo who put his own engine (from a wrecked mg1100) into it. ran for a long time.
